Raekwon - House of Flying Daggers
Artist: Raekwon
Featuring: Ghostface Killah , Method Man , Inspectah Deck
Producer: J Dilla
Album: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II
Label: Ice H20 Inc./EMI
When he stepped into the Booth for an exclusive interview back in April, Raekwon the Chef told DJ Z that, if he were to serve one Cuban Linx II track to his fans on a silver platter, it would be House of Flying Daggers. Well, listeners rejoice—dinner is served! Featuring guest contributions from a whopping four of Rae’s fellow Wu-Tang emcees (Inspectah Deck, GZA, Ghostface, and Method Man), the newly-selected street single is a little much to digest in one sitting, but the end result is nothing if not addictive. Accompanied by the late J Dilla‘s relentless, claustrophobic soul stomp of a beat (complete, of course, with a few kung-fu-film vocal samples), all five turn in plenty of vintage, Wu-style street lyricism. Suffice it to say, HoFD is less an entrée and more of a musical feast in its own right—if this gourmet cut leaves you patting your stomach, pay your compliments to the Chef by picking up a copy of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II when it hits stores Sept. 8th.

Arguably the five greatest MCs in the Wu over a killer J Dilla beat?? Hello Cuban Linx II!
Ok, so GZA only makes a brief appearance here (but providing an excitingly reminiscent hook), but four of the greatest Wu-Tang MCs spitting good old fashioned up North bragging, boasting, and smack-talking verses over a Dilla beat is nothing to scoff at. With tracks like this hitting the ears of the public, doubt for the potential greatness of Cuban Linx II is at an all-time low .... 4.5 Meth and GFK crushed the beat. |

The production really set the tone and you can't go wrong with 5 Wu emcees rapping on it. This album is gonna be sick.

This is evidence of why WTC is/was the greatest collective in hip hop history and why J. Dilla will forever be missed. This has had me officially excited for this new Raekwon project.
