Raekwon Dons ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ On New Album
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, JUL 17 – Raekwon released his first solo album since 2017 while his Newark dispensary was evicted after falling nearly $500,000 behind on rent and fees, officials said.
- On Friday, Raekwon released his first solo album since 2017’s The Wild, coinciding with the Wu-Tang Clan’s final tour in Philadelphia.
- Led by Raekwon’s vision, the project incorporates production from Swizz Beatz, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and Nottz, described as the strongest since Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang.
- Raekwon invited Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Nas, Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher, while Rae said in a video, `It’s real hard, but don’t count us out.`
- Despite album momentum, HashStoria, Newark cannabis dispensary, was evicted last month after falling nearly $500,000 behind on rent and fees.
- Looking ahead, Raekwon isn’t ruling out another Wu-Tang Clan album, and the new record cements his role as a rap elder capable of evolution.
