Raekwon builds on how Rza lost 500 beats when his basement flooded and how it affected the Wu movement.
Raekwon builds on how Rza lost 500 beats when his basement flooded and how it affected the Wu movement.
Method Man is on his promotional warpath for his upcoming solo album, “The Meth Lab,” with a new freestyle over a Harry Fraud beat, the instrumental to French Montana’s “88 Coupes” (all due respect to French, but unsurprisingly Meth outraps French’s original performance on the track).
Judging by the Tommy Boy logo on the outro of this “Breaking Bad“-inspired trailer, it looks like Method Man will be taking things back to the origin of Wu – Tommy Boy Records, the label where Rza released his 1991 debut solo single, “Ooh, I Love You, Rakeem” (which featured a B-side mix subtitled “The Wu-Tang Mix,” the crew name’s first appearance on wax).
It’s already been reported that “The Meth Lab” will feature “Redman, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck and more.”
Listen to the self-titled lead single (featuring Hanz On and Streetlife) from “The Meth Lab” here.
Both Rae and Ghost were supposed to be featured on Jay-Z track “Heaven” off of his last album (“Magna Carta, Holy Grail“) and Ghost explains in the video above why his verse did not appear.
It’s only right in the year of the 20th anniversary of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx that the lead single for Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge‘s Twelve Reasons To Die II (out in July) should feature Raekwon. Rza offers a spoken interlude to add to the cinematic vibe of the proceedings.
If you haven’t bought the original Twelve Reasons To Die, featuring epic live production from Adrian Younge throughout, stop sleeping and cop that here.
There’s a fraction of a second in there where it looks like Dame Dash is doing the classic Dame Dash diceroll dance. Worth watching for that alone.
If you didn’t know, this track is off Raekwon’s brand new album, Fly International Luxurious Art. Cop that here, it’s a good album.
