Our Take

RAEKWON Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, or as I like to call it, the auditory delicacy that keeps on giving. This album is a masterclass in storytelling, with Raekwon weaving intricate tales of street life and loyalty over RZA's gritty and hypnotic production. From the moment the cinematic intro kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride.

Tracks like "Incarcerated Scarfaces" and "Ice Cream" are so smooth they could melt even the coldest of hearts, while "Verbal Intercourse" featuring Nas is a lyrical feast for the ears. Raekwon's flow is razor-sharp, cutting through each track with precision and finesse.

The skits sprinkled throughout the album add a touch of humour and humanity, giving listeners a glimpse into the world of Raekwon and his crew. The Wu-Tang Clan may be known for their hardcore rhymes and killer beats, but Raekwon's solo effort stands out as a true gem in their discography.

So grab a cuban cigar, pour yourself a glass of fine champagne, and let Raekwon take you on a journey through the mean streets of New York City. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Raekwon

PROFILE: Raekwon, the Wu-Tang Clan MC also known as The Chef, has been serving up lyrical dishes since the early '90s. With his sharp tongue and intricate wordplay, Raekwon has solidified his place as one of hip-hop's most influential figures. Born Corey Woods in Staten Island, New York, Raekwon burst onto the scene in 1993 with Wu-Tang Clan's iconic debut album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)." But it was his solo debut, "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...," released in 1995, that truly showcased Raekwon's storytelling skills and cinematic approach to rhyme. With his gritty, streetwise lyrics and signature slang, Raekwon has carved out a niche for himself in the rap game. His distinctive flow and gritty voice set him apart from his peers, and his ability to paint vivid pictures with his words has earned him a loyal fan base. Raekwon is not just a rapper; he is a storyteller, a wordsmith, a poet of the streets. His music is a window into the world of inner-city life, a raw and unfiltered look at the struggles and triumphs of growing up in the projects. From his early days with the Wu-Tang Clan to his solo career and beyond, Raekwon has consistently delivered hard-hitting rhymes and timeless music. His influence can be heard in the work of countless rappers who have come after him, proving that The Chef's legacy is here to stay.
