Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" (1995) is the solo debut album by rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon. Produced by RZA and featuring Ghostface Killah, the album includes appearances from every other member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Notably, it also boasts a guest appearance from rapper Nas, marking the first collaboration with a non-affiliated artist on a Wu-Tang related album. Over the years, the album has garnered acclaim from music critics, often being hailed as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. With its focus on American Mafia themes and organized crime, "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" is widely recognized as a trailblazer of the mafioso rap sub-genre. Alongside GZA's "Liquid Swords," it is frequently cited as some of the best solo material from the Wu-Tang Clan. The album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States alone.
