Raekwon Announces Solo Album

    Speaking with HipHopDX at a press conference for the upcoming Wu-Tang Clan group album A Better Tomorrow, Raekwon announced that he will be releasing his next solo album in the first quarter of 2015.

    Explaining the decision to delay his solo release to work on the collective album, Raekwon said it’s “important to the world to see the group reunite.”

    “You know, for me, working on my album, at the same time while all this is going on, because, you know, we all been working,” he said in a clip that premiered in today’s DX Daily (October 20). “So for me to sit here and say, ‘This right now is important to the world to see the group reunite and make a great album together.’ I decided to stand for my brothers right now and push my album to the backburner. My album will be coming out next year, in the Spring, you know, around March. I felt I did it for a great cause because this is the family. I had to do that. I feel good about it and I understand more the direction of where everybody wants to go. And we happy. Like I said, you just getting great music at its finest right now.”

    Earlier this month, the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… emcee spoke about Better Tomorrow and said the group was able to “put a little bit more positivity inside the music.”

    “That’s what we did with this album,” Raekwon said. “Like I said earlier, to make a gumbo of great music together is the plan. It’s not to just sit here and say, ‘Yo, we want to sound like 1992 again.’ We’re different guys now. There are some things that we’re gonna want to explore. And there are some things that we’re gonna have to keep the signature the way it’s normally been.”

      1. You’re in the minority. That album will sell less than 6000 copies first week. No one cares about Raekwon in 2014.

      2. Dude says “NO ONE cares, at all.” yet the headline “Raekwon Announces Solo Album” made them click.So you obviously DO CARE.if u don’t care keep ur presence unknown and SHUT DA FUCK UP!!! pmsl 🙂

      3. Who gives a fuck how much it sells, use ya brain cells, it will be more authentic that A Better Tomorrow, that shit is gonna sound forced they don’t wanna all be ina room together… Well Rae, Ghost & RZA don’t!

      4. You’re a fool if you base the success of an album on sales. I don’t give a f how much a record sells. If I like the artist, I’m buying it no matter what the reviews are or what the stats say.

      5. The problem with some of you new celebrity worshipping so-called Hip Hop fans is that you believe someone music is good because the person is popular in the media. When really it’s about the music. It shouldn’t matter about anything else other than how the music sounds. The fact that you’re judging it on how relevant you feel Raekwon is or isn’t means you lost the point with he music. Music good or music bad , that’s the only qualification here.

        Raekwon in the past has made brilliant records and Raekwon in the past has made some duds. We’re just waiting to see if he can pull it off this time around.

      1. Who cares if a album sells loads or not.if its dope its dope.regardless of how much it sells. Album sales doesn’t prove how dope a album is. Everyone knows the albums that sell the least are most likely the dopest. Listeners don’t give a fuck about a much there favourite albums sold.they aint gettin paid off it.we only care if a albums dope or not.

    1. Another strugglin from rapper from the 90’s who still thinks he is a maffia don and a hustler. So sad. Rappers never grow up.

      1. “Quote” Its not to just sit here and say, Yo, we want to sound like 1992 again. Were different guys now.

    2. I don’t hate raekwon but ive never looked forward to a verse from him his albums be banging because he picks great beats and ghostface always bodies every track he’s on

    3. F.I.L.A has been delayed for some time now. Enough with the excuses. That’s the problem with some cats. They announce upcoming albums way too soon and end up having to eat crow when the album is delayed. Keep your mouths shut and just release the sh*t already. damn

    4. except for Cuban Links & parts of the second one, fasto solo sucks… all he does is eat, drool and disappoint… Wu Massacare = dogshit… Shaolin v. Wu Tang = dogshit… etc etc… still waiting for Lex Diamonds 2! Icewater, Part 3!

      1. irrelevant
        adjective
        not connected with or relevant to something.

        people are still talking about Raekwon, so he’s still relevant.

      2. Anyone that can say anything negative about the chef is irrelevant! Dude has been golden for 20 years +…..If you cant respect the dent he and the WU have left in the game you have NO business discussing music. PERIOD.

    5. Dumb fucks. Saying raekwon isn’t relevent but they see the headline “Raekwon Announces Solo Album” and they still click hahaha pmsl.that word irrelevant and relevant is starting to sound corny nowadays lol its obvious if ur not a fan of a artist that they won’t be relevant to u.i’m not a fan of drake so he isn’t relevant to me lol
