Raekwon

Released: March 25, 2010

[Sample: (?)]
Caution
If you are turned off by the truth of what's happening on the street today
Turn your attention away
Nigga Lover
The movie they tried to stop
So real, so violent, so brutally honest
That only a few theaters dared to show it
Nigga Lover
Where black and white passions explode
The chase that begins with love
And ends in violence
Not just another black movie
Different than all the rest
See Nigga Lover
The movie they tried to stop

Corey Woods, or Raekwon, is a rapper and a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He released his solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… in 1995, and has since recorded four solo albums, as well as work with Wu-Tang and an extensive amount of guest contributions with other hip hop artists.

Raekwon is often cited as one of the pioneers of the Mafioso rap sub-genre. In 2007, The editors of About.com placed him on their list of the Top 50 MCs of Our Time. The Miami New Times described Raekwon’s music as being “street epics” that are “straightforward yet linguistically rich universes not unlike a gangsta Illiad.
