As Raekwon the Chef puts the final seasonings on his much-anticipated Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, he’s trimming some of the excess fat to maintain the retro flavor listeners have been waiting for (as exemplified by the Booth-acclaimed Wu Ooh). One of these cuttings is Maino collaboration Dealer. Over Swizz Beatz protégé Neo Da Matrix‘s beat, the two emcees carry the movement from Staten Island to Brooklyn with equally strong verses. The only problem is, when one collaborator is a member of one of hip-hop’s deepest crews and the other’s still working on his debut album, are both artists really supposed to spit with the same skill? Still, if you enjoy Dealer, then prepare for one succulent main course later this spring, when the Chef finally serves up Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II.

This song was just OK... the production was good, but a little boring. The hook was not interesting, sounded a little monotone. Raekwon was pretty tight on this track, and Maino was just OK.

When I first saw the names on the record I was a bit confused as to how these two men were linked up. Once you hear the finished product, however, something is very clear... they were never meant to record together. Both do very well over Neo's boardwork; except the feeling of true vibrant collaboration isn't there.
Individually, solid efforts. Together, jury is out. In rotation, because new Kwon is music to my ears, but glad it won't make the album's final cut.
