Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (2-LP Vinyl)
Raekwon Vinyl Records
Product Details
Recorded during one of the most creatively fertile periods in hip-hop history, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah built a world on this record that felt utterly lived-in, drawing as much from crime cinema as from the Staten Island streets. RZA's production, saturated with soul samples and minor-key menace, gave the duo a sonic landscape that no one else was working in at the time. The purple cassette shell it originally shipped on became a collector's talisman long before the vinyl was treated with the reverence it deserved.
Raekwon's 1995 debut masterpiece, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... , is a cinematic hip-hop pillar that pioneered the vivid storytelling style of Mafioso rap. Featuring extensive appearances by Ghostface Killah and masterful, gritty production from The RZA, the album plays out like a gritty audio film detailing the street underworld. Widely celebrated as the ""The Purple Tape,"" it remains a critically acclaimed masterpiece and one of the most influential solo albums in the entire Wu-Tang Clan catalog.
