Raekwon Is Officially An Aftermath Artist
“Love to hustle, my ring, call it Big Uranus.” — Raekwon
After (what will be) 12 or so years, a successor to OB4CL? Rza and Dre on production? I guess saying that the product of this better be great because anything short of amazing will be a true disapointment.
From Nobodys Smiling:
According to wutangcorp.com (official site of Wu Tang Clan) Raekwon (AKA The Chef) has officially linked with Dr. Dre’s Interscope imprint Aftermath Entertainment. The site confirms that paper work was completed last week.
Both Dr. Dre and Flipmode/Aftermath emcee Busta Rhymes are reportedly working closely on ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II,’ the follow up to “The Chef’s” critically acclaimed 1995 duet with Wu-Tang brethren Ghostface. Rhymes and RZA will reportedly serve as executive producers. The project, which has no release date at press time, will be a co-production between either Aftermath and Wu-Tang Music Group or Wu-Tang productions.
It’s rumored that Ghostface could only have a couple of features on this cd as opposed to being all over the place on the original. And GZA and Inspektah Deck are supposed to fill in. Y’know I’m a big fan of the Wu. BUT! Rae has an opportunity here and if Ghost doesn’t appear on the album more…*sigh* Bring Cappa back too. Well it could be worse. Somebody may try to suggest to put G-Unit…I’ma stop right there. Let’s get that thought out of our heads right now. Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. And for your listening pleasure:
“Goldmine” - Busta Rhymes f Raekwon
“What’s Beef” - Labba f Busta Rhymes & Raekwon
“State Of Grace remix” - Busta Rhymes f Raekwon

Word…Mallz got it right…Remember what happened with Rakim?
I heard about this not too long ago being an avid Wu disciple but I wasn’t sure if it was actually gonnah happen cuz so many artists run up under Aftermath but not everything follows through…
Whatever label Rae or the rest of the Wu drop under…shit’s still flames…
Get paid Rae.
