Raekwon Talks Collaboration With Nas

Due to a scheduling conflict, Nas was missing out on Raekwon’s sequel of Only Built 4 Cuban Linxx which left fans around the globe disappointed. Their collaboration “Verbal Intercourse” is one of the prime lyrical rap records of the 90s. Now with the release of his next album – Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang – approaching, Raekwon talked to XXL about his microphone reunion with Nasir Jones.

“ It definitely sounds like vintage Rae and Nas again. I [saw] Nas across seas, we had a show together, and we talked about a lot of things,” Rae explained about how the two linked up. ”We went from A-Z how we felt about things what was goin on at the time, and by the grace of God we was able to get this thing happenin’ again. That was definitely one of the surprise things that I wanted to alert the fans with, just to let em know that my brother came up to air for me and I know through his busy schedule I guess in the back of his mind he was like ‘Yo I gotta come up for Rae.’”

Amazon.co.uk pretty much confirms this meeting of power lyricism as it offers the album’s official tracklist which you can see below. In addition, you can expect some heat from the likes Rick Ross, Lloyd Banks, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes and Jim Jones, as well as fellow Wu members Ghostface Killah and Method Man.
