About

A card-carrying member of the almighty Wu, Raekwon's vivid lyricism, offbeat humor, and swift flow have made him a fan favorite. He's rhymed on all of the WTC projects, and many of the Clansmen's individual records as well. Rae's first solo album, 1995's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... was hailed as a classic by heads and critics alike, the modern-day blueprint for mafia-influenced crime-rhyme madness. It featured a slew of furious two-man jams and served as an intro of sorts to Ghostface's Ironman LP, released the following year. His second solo affair, Immobilarity, was disappointing both in sales and content, but The Chef remains undaunted. His third record, The Lex Diamond Story dropped in 2003.
