Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of Raekwon’s classic album, Only Built For Cuban Linx.

Raekwon the Chef over a chunky, bass loaded beat courtesy of DJ Babu. These are the ingredients for “Keep It Politics” and it makes for a tasty song. The tune is the latest single from the forthcoming Closed Sessions, Vol. 2 project, due out in August. Closed Sessions is an indie label out of Chicago, […]
