Raekwon

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... is a landmark hip-hop album released by rapper Raekwon who rose to prominence as a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Produced by fellow Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA, this record is a cornerstone of East Coast hip-hop and a quintessential piece of the genre's golden era, thanks in part to RZA's extraordinary beats and the introduction of Raekwon and Ghostface Killah as a legendary rap duo. With its gritty storytelling, intricate lyricism, and cinematic production, Cuban Linx offers listeners a vivid glimpse into the street life of 1990s New York City. Together with the Colorado Symphony, this legendary duo will reimagine their timeless album that continues to inspire and shape the sound of contemporary hip-hop today.

“Continuing the collaboration with the Colorado Symphony as an Imagination Artist, we are presenting Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.... The album was always intended to give audiences a 'cinematic' experience. These new orchestrations will give fans a new experience through imagination and creativity that was not possible with our early recordings.” - RZA
