Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Part. II [2xLP]

Release Date: October 03, 2025
Label: Ice H20

The long-awaited follow-up to the Wu-Tang Clan classic, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II arrived in 2009 as a triumphant return to the mafioso rap blueprint Raekwon helped pioneer. More than a sequel, the album cemented Rae's legacy as one of hip-hop's sharpest storytellers, pairing vivid narratives with cinematic production from legends including J Dilla, Dr. Dre, RZA, Pete Rock, and The Alchemist. A spiritual continuation of the Purple Tape legacy, OB4CL2 delivers gritty crime tales, street wisdom, and Wu-Tang brotherhood, with standout appearances from Ghostface Killah (who recently released his, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, GZA, and more. Hailed as one of the best hip-hop albums of the 2000s, the project balances nostalgia with evolution - connecting the past to the present. The packaging has also been revisited to highlight Danny Hastings' original photography with updated design elements, creating a fresh presentation that honors the aesthetic of the 2009 release. To further connect back to the lineage of the OG Purple Tape, it also features a new "Shallah Raekwon" signature, a subtle nod to the tag first seen on the original Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.
