Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx [2LP]
Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… isn’t just a solo debut—it’s a genre-defining classic that helped shape the sound of '90s hip-hop. Released in 1995 and produced entirely by RZA, the album unfolds like a cinematic crime saga, drenched in mafia imagery, street politics, and razor-sharp lyricism. With Ghostface Killah co-starring throughout and appearances from the full Wu-Tang Clan, plus a legendary guest verse from Nas, this record set a new gold standard for conceptual rap albums and birthed the mafioso rap sub-genre. Pressed on double 180-gram audiophile vinyl, this limited edition lets every eerie loop and gritty verse hit with full impact. From “Criminology” to “Ice Cream” and “Heaven & Hell,” each track drips with atmosphere and intent. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… remains not only one of the finest solo Wu-Tang projects but also one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time—raw, cinematic, and untouchably cool.
