Raekwon Bio

Raekwon is a legendary rapper, entrepreneur, and founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, whose groundbreaking work has left an indelible mark on hip-hop culture. Bursting onto the scene with the seminal group debut Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) in 1993, Raekwon quickly established himself as a formidable lyricist and storyteller.

His 1995 solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…—often referred to as the “Purple Tape”—revolutionized hip-hop by pioneering the mafioso rap subgenre. The album’s intricate slang, cinematic skits, and gritty production created a blueprint that influenced countless artists and helped define an era of street narratives and complex lyricism. Honored with the prestigious “5 Mic” rating from The Source, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… remains a cornerstone of the Wu-Tang legacy and a revered classic in hip-hop history.

Beyond his music, Raekwon has built a thriving entrepreneurial brand, including ventures like The Purple Factory, a lifestyle boutique based in Toronto, Canada. These projects reflect his commitment to innovation and giving back to the communities that shaped him.

Continuing to evolve as an artist, Raekwon released his latest album, The Emperor’s New Clothes, on July 18th, showcasing his enduring creativity and relevance in today’s hip-hop landscape. With a career spanning over three decades, Raekwon remains a vital voice and inspiration within the culture—an artist whose influence and legacy resonate worldwide.

Mobb Deep:

Mobb Deep is one of the most iconic and influential hip-hop duos to emerge from the East Coast. Comprised of Prodigy and Havoc, the Queensbridge, New York natives helped define the sound of hardcore hip-hop in the 1990s, pairing raw lyricism with dark, minimalist production. Over the course of their career, Mobb Deep developed a sound that became synonymous with gritty street realism—uncompromising, cinematic, and deeply influential.

Their landmark sophomore album, The Infamous (1995), is widely regarded as a cornerstone of East Coast rap. Anchored by the anthemic “Shook Ones Pt. II,” the album delivered chilling, atmospheric beats and vivid, hard-edged storytelling that resonated deeply with listeners and helped shape the tone of New York hip-hop for years to come.

Mobb Deep followed up with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including Hell on Earth (1996), Murda Muzik (1999), and Infamy (2001), showcasing their evolution while staying rooted in the raw honesty that defined their sound. Murda Muzik went platinum and introduced the timeless single “Quiet Storm,” further cementing their reputation as masters of mood and message. Always evolving but never compromising, the duo maintained a strong underground presence even as they pushed into mainstream recognition.

In 2005, Mobb Deep joined forces with 50 Cent’s G-Unit label, releasing Blood Money and reaching a new generation of listeners. Beyond group efforts, both Havoc and Prodigy released successful solo projects, demonstrating their individual talents and expanding their influence across the industry. The 2014 release of The Infamous Mobb Deep, a double album that included previously unreleased recordings from their classic era, was a reminder of both their legacy and their continued relevance.

With a career spanning over two decades, Mobb Deep’s contributions to hip-hop remain unmatched. Their music continues to inspire artists and audiences around the globe, and their influence is deeply embedded in the DNA of New York rap. Mobb Deep is more than a group—they are a movement, a voice for the streets, and a lasting symbol of authenticity in hip-hop culture. Following the untimely passing of Prodigy in 2017, Havoc has continued to honor their legacy. With deep respect for their shared history, Havoc keeps Mobb Deep’s music alive, performing for fans around the world and ensuring that Prodigy’s voice and their impact on hip-hop endure.
