Album Notes & Community Reviews

A worthy sequel to a hip-hop classic, this album reunites Raekwon with the Wu-Tang Clan and producers like RZA and J Dilla. It recaptures the gritty, cinematic storytelling of the original with modernized boom-bap production. It is widely considered the best Wu-Tang solo project of the late 2000s.
