In 2009, Raekwon released Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II. The album was well-received by critics and fans alike. After being away from the game for some time, Raekwon was back. While everyone was celebrating, Raekwon was not satisfied.
Before he began recording the album, Rakewon knew he wanted to work with Nas. The two rappers met up and Nas agreed to appear on the album. But, when it was time to record, Nas never recorded his verse. Raekwon had to release the album without him.
Raekwon was a little upset because Nas was not featured on his album. But, with his new album, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, Raekwon has everything he wants. To make up for his last album, Raekwon again invited Nas to be on the album.
Nas promised Raekwon he would be ready to record on this album. With everything in place, Raekwon can hardly wait to put the album together. The Wu-Tang rapper spoke on the album, saying he felt it was the best album of his career. This time around, he has landed all the collaborators he wanted. A good guest list is just as important as the actual album to Raekwon.
