Raekwon

Black Friday 2024. 25th Anniversary.
Raekwon’s Immobilarity followed up the holy grail that is Only Built 4 Cuban Linx with a different kind of grit. Less cinematic mafioso drama, more raw street sermons over icy late-90s beats. It didn’t get the same shine at the time, but it’s aged into a cult favourite — stripped back, paranoid and sharp as a blade. Styles: East Coast hip hop, hardcore rap, boom bap, street rap. FFO: Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, AZ, Kool G Rap.
