Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... remains one of the defining albums in the Wu-Tang Clan catalogue and a benchmark for street rap. Known as the ‘Purple Tape’, its cinematic storytelling follows Raekwon through New York’s criminal underworld, brought to life by RZA’s unmistakable production and the constant presence of Ghostface Killah, who appears throughout much of the record.
Home to classics including ‘Ice Cream’, ‘Incarcerated Scarfaces’ and ‘Criminology’, the album was conceived as a complete listening experience, unfolding like a crime film from start to finish.
