ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX... (YELLOW/CLEAR VINYL) by RAEKWON

The cultural phenomenon that is the Wu-Tang cannot accurately be described without
referencing one of the pillars in the Clan's discography; Chef Raekwon's Only Built 4
Cuban Linx, one of the defining triumphs in their artistic legacy. The oft referred "Purple
Tape", has been cited and debated by many as the greatest Wu-Tang solo project to date
and a remains a bullet point in any discussion involving the greatest "Cocaine Rap"
or "Street Hop" albums of all time.
Raekwon's narrative, plays out like a movie script from the violent, drug fueled, underbelly
of New York City's criminal landscape, intricately woven over instrumentalfrom the legendary
Wu mastermind, The RZA. While Only Built 4 Cuban Linx did produce a string of
successful singles, such as "Ice Cream", "Incarcerated Scarfaces" and "Criminology", like
all classic cinema, the album was intentionally engineered to be appreciated in one sitting,
played from beginning to end.
This reissue features the formerly CD only bonus track, "North Star (Jewels)” as well as
completely enhanced and painstakingly remastered audio.
