Raekwon Dropping 'Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang' This September Sans RZA
Considering how easy it is for rappers to fade into obscurity as they age, it's almost heartwarming to see Raekwon, who turned 40 this year, continue to be successful. To be fair, he and the rest of the Wu will always have rabid fans thanks to a stream of classic solo LPs and, of course, their seminal group debut. But when you think of prolific rappers, Rae isn't usually the first that comes to mind. Yet, perhaps because of a killer 2009 and already strong 2010, he's ready to drop another album on us this September.
But this time around, Vibe is reporting Rae is apparently opting out of any collaborations from RZA. This isn't that much of a surprise considering RZA only produced three of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Part II's 22 tracks. While the production team for Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang remains unknown, Rae has said he has some surprises in store. What is known, though, is that he's joined in the booth by fellow Clan members Method Man, Ghostface, GZA, and Inspectah Deck along with Black Thought, of the Roots.
