This Wu-tang member is back and he cooked up another classic. Many have tried to match their first album, it looks like the Chef has mastered it.

Raekwon has been in the music industry for years. Many of us know him as the Chef, a member of the Wu-Tang Clan or one of the hardest underground mainstream artists out. Whatever you might identify him as, it’s obvious his new album is getting huge buzz in the music industry. Although he shied away from questions regarding the recent Joe Budden beef Raekwon the chef still talked about his new album Only Built for Cuban Linx II, acting and the major producer lineup for the album.

DPM: So what types of things are you working on?

Just things like movies, books and music. You know, I’m trying to stay busy.

DPM: You have a new album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. What can fans expect from this album?

You can expect classic raw hip hop at its finest, I’m taking it back to where I had no deal and didn’t care what people thought.

DPM: This rumors you have some special producers on this album. Who is on the production?

Well you know I got an all-star cast. To name a few: Doc Dre, RZA, J-Dilla, Marley Marl, Pete Rock and the list goes on and on for real!

DPM: Talk about being signed to Aftermath.

Well actually I was never signed to Aftermath it was more or less a verbal agreement and you know Dre and Aftermath had a lot on there plate and I couldn’t afford to waste more time but it was a pleasure working wit Dre because even if I wasn’t signed with them I still wanted him to be apart of the album.

DPM: Can we expect some classic tracks with any of the Wu-Tang members?

Of course, you know you got the classic Rae and Ghost things, and we got the whole fam on it but every time me and my brothers get on a record its classic period.

DPM: Tell the fans about IceH20 and the companies goals in the future.

Well IceH20 is my company that I plan to take to the next level with new artist, books, movies and so forth. It’s more like a multimedia brand that I want to take to the next level and put some talented people on.

DPM: Talk about your acting roles.
I thought it was time for me to span out and brand myself to a new label and it’s fun going into different roles.
