Raekwon invites Fans Into His ‘Living Room’ with the help of Aretha Franklin & Dionne Warwick

One of Wu-Tang Clan’s most lyrical marksmen, Raekwon, invites fans into his ‘Living Room’ to listen to this new freestyle joint he dropped via his twitter page. The flyness starts out with the help of Aretha Franklin’s sampled voice on ‘Soul Serenade’ & then further smooths out with Dionne Warwick’s sampled voice from the Burt Bacharach composed classic ‘Walk On By’. The man also known as Lex Diamonds paints multiple fly pictures on this song all the while performing verbal gymnastics with the track changes.  It’s clear that Rae is still up on his “F.I.L.A.” ish…

The Dividends – “Fool’s Gold” feat. Raekwon

artworks-000064634634-9sqeut-t500x500

The Dividends (singer Sarah Jaffe + producer S1) recruited Raekwon for some Wu spice on a reggae-bouncy single off their upcoming EP “Far From Away” (due out 2014). The infusion of a raw rapper can switch the flavor of a track in an instant… mellow, and then BOW! Smooth with the roughness to finish. But this “Fool’s Gold” good stuff nonetheless.

Raekwon – “Lions Paw”

artworks-000063811729-l2g87f-t500x500

Chef dropped something hot just now. Him rocking over the old school Premier production (the beat to GangStarr’s “Mass Appeal”) is something he chose to call “Lions Paw.” Nice.

artworks-000061961950-jgdfs7-t500x500

Raekwon feeling himself more so than before nowadays. Touched up Lorde’s song “Royals” with some lyrical spice. Remixed it on up and put it out there. Listen and judge for yourself if the Wu-Tang legend verses on the good life make what was good a bit better.

artworks-000058776422-h2nycs-t500x500

Raekwon eff’n up this Drake “Pound Cake” beat in the best way… with his freestyle version called “Marble Cake.” Loaded with that classic C.R.E.A.M. ‘cash rules’ talk (complete with a Wu-Tang Clan sample from the first album), the Chef cooked up a joint that could stand tall among the other “Pound Cake” remixes out now (posted a couple on here).

Raekwon Speaks On His Current Involvement With Jay-Z’s ‘MCHG’, Ol Dirty Bastard, and More (Video)

Montreality interviews are always insightful, well worth watching. This one with Raekwon does not disappoint either. Some of the usual topics (his fav books, next project) were addressed by the Chef, including some ODB memories (as was asked of RZA during his Montreality sit-down). But the big “scoop” in this episode was some foreshadowing of Raekwon’s involvement with Jay-Z’s latest straight-to-Samsung release: “Magna Carter Holy Grail.” (available on iTunes July 8, 2013).

Raekwon – “All About You” feat. Estelle (Prod. By Jerry Wonda)

artworks-000047731967-qjaerp-t500x500This one would be perfect for commercial radio… Oh wait, I think he got in a muthaf—-r and ‘ninja’ within the first 10 seconds (no radio play for Rae on this one). Hahaa! Chef don’t sell out for radio play. Though with Estelle adding a li’l sexy over the Jerry Wonda track, the Wu-Tang sword style of Raekwon’s delivery on “All About You” is softened just enough to reach a ‘broader’ audience. Nah eff that. This banger still goes hard!

This single is yet another hot rock off the FREE Funkmaster Flex’s “Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself?” mixtape (which you can get from a link in an earlier post here).
