Raekwon – Shaolin Vs. Wu Tang (CD)
Product Details
Dropping three years after *Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II*, *Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang* arrived as proof that Raekwon's cinematic street narratives hadn't lost a step, drawing its title from the classic 1983 martial arts film and deepening the kung-fu mysticism that has run through Wu-Tang lore since the beginning.
This limited "Terracotta General" CD edition features alternate cover artwork printed directly on the door of a Super Audio Jewel Case and is wrapped with an OBI strip for a premium presentation.A founding member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon has built one of hip-hop's most enduring solo catalogs, led by the landmark Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... series.

II to physical formats and the release of his acclaimed 2025 album The Emperor's New Clothes, The Chef revisits another essential chapter of his catalog with the 15th Anniversary Edition of Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang.Originally released in 2011, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang pairs Raekwon's vivid storytelling and unmistakable lyrical style with an all-star cast including Nas, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Busta Rhymes and Black Thought. This expanded anniversary edition adds two bonus tracks and arrives during a landmark year for Raekwon and the Wu-Tang Clan, with the group on tour and being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2026.
