Raekwon speaks on the importance of separating business from friends and paying attention to your surroundings in an exclusive interview with Jen DeLeon.
“There’s a lot of people that don’t have great intentions and they be right there next to you acting like they’re genuine, but they don’t really give a fuck about you,” says the Wu-Tang rapper. “They’re there for personal pleasure.”
Raekwon has spent over two decades creating music in the business starting in the early 90s as Raekwon The Chef and still releasing relevant music today including his latest release Fly International Luxurious Art.
“Know your surroundings,” Raekwon says. “Know who is really for you. I know a lot of times when we get on and we bring a lot of people around us that we think that is genuine with us but we find out later that they don’t have your back in the greatest way. You know, at the end of the day it’s about separating your business from your friends and everything else.”
