ﾓI realized what kind of artist I amﾅIﾒve never been a commercial artist,ﾔ says Raekwon, in this Dubcnn exclusive interview. Fourteen years after the nostalgic and original masterpiece Only Built 4 Cuban Linx was released, Raekwon follows it up with the highly anticipated sequel, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Fans and Critics alike are already labeling this new album as an instant classic. With its acclaimed reviews and worldwide fanfare, Raekwon is back in demand and giving fans what they want: ﾓCocaine Rapﾔ as he calls it.
Die-hard fans demand more from this Wu-Tang Clansmen, arguably one of the most important and successful groups in hip-hop history. As this skilled swordsmith from the ﾓWﾔ sharpens his blade for another slice from the Big Appleﾒs elite, Rae comes out swinging with vengeance, cutting down anything that comes across his path. He brought his group of brothers along, too, and they sound more fresh and revitalized than they have in this decade. The Wu-Tang Clan has reemerged.
Dubcnn sent Jonathan Hay and DJ Atlas Jenkins out on an assignment (or should we say a blessing) to talk to the Chef himself and find out directly from the horseﾒs mouth what he has been cooking up in the kitchen. Raekwon sheds some amazing, provocative and insightful light on his new album, which boasts an all-star production cast, including Dr. Dre, J Dilla and, of course, RZA, among others.
We also candidly talk about some historical Wu-Tang moments, including some of the vastly publicized, past troubles and controversial disputes within the Clan. Raekwon doesnﾒt hold back on anything and drops non-stop jewels all throughout this evocative conversation. Itﾒs with great pleasure we bring you: Raekwon.
