Raekwon and JD Era have a lot to celebrate and toast to. Donning black suits, the two have a nice casual party in this cut off Unexpected Victory. Be on the look out for JD Era’s solo project coming. Directed by Cartel Films. Previously: Raekwon Ft. Big Bub – We Ride Together

Every week until only Rae knows when, we’ll be getting a new cover featuring Big Bub. I’m guessing he’ll be on all of future ones since he’s on the first three. He should alternate with the other members of IceWater too. Ride out with them over Red Cafe’s “We Fly Together” instrumental. Raekwon Ft. Big [...]

If a formula works, repeat it. That’s the motto. After The Chef and his singing apprentice did “I Do” a lot of justice, they return using Wale’s “That Way” instrumental. I hope they continue this streak. Big Bub is sounding like a potential champion in the R&B game. Raekwon Ft. Big Bub – Apologize Previously: [...]

Not disrespecting the Chef, but he does have a lot of artists that are really unknown. Besides JD Era, I don’t know any others. I’m sure some were featured on Unexpected Victory and it sounds like Big Bub (pretty good singer) is down with the crew. Rae delivers a sweet verse. I had to play [...]

MTV Cribs was such a dope show. They need to bring that back along with Celebrity Deathmatch (imagine MMG vs. Young Money). I digress, Raekwon was holding on to an alternative version of this Unexpected Victory cut. The only significant change is in the intro and hook; a different sample used. It makes the record sound better. [...]

I’m sure there are people in the world who still wonder how Raekwon is still making music. This isn’t for them. However, the title and the message is. The Chef really went in to bring in the New Year with a solid project, chalk full of features and all original production. Scram Jones, Busta Rhymes, [...]

Welcome to the forest of the leaders (word to Rae). Leave it to the Chef to concoct up this unique record. Of course, the collaboration between the three isn’t out-of-the-box, but the concept of “Chinese Marines”, or maybe just the title, is. No hooks. No remorse. No wackness. Unexpected Victory drops tomorrow. Track listing after the [...]

Whip it up real good until it’s hard. The Chef invites the Mid-West Gangstaz into his kitchen on the first leak from Unexpected Victory. All the ingredients were laid and, in the end, Rae cooked up that cocaine. His mixtape drops on January 1. What a way to start 2012. Raekwon Ft. L.E.P. Bogus Boys [...]

CNN and The Chef let the head-nod away. With that cold Canadian air flowing, this is that greezy Birdman hand rub hustler ambition music. Raekwon is crazy busy putting in work. Expect a new mixtape on Black Friday, a solo album next year and a film entitled C.R.E.A.M.. Raekwon Ft. Capone-N-Noreaga – Chupacabra Previously: Raekwon – [...]

Black Friday is going to be a spoiled day for everybody. Not only are the sales outrageous and the malls crazy (sidenote: internet shopping FTW), the music world is preparing to give us a great set of projects. The Chef has been cookin’ up a mixtape for just the occasion. Here’s a freestyle just for [...]
