Mikey: Last night, Raekwon and EMI held a private listening session for Rae’s upcoming mixtape, Brinks Boyz Presents Cocainism Vol.2, which drops this weekend at XXLMag. Rae was on hand, passing out the drinks and making everyone feel welcome as he personally played each record, and the mixtape feels more like a solo LP because out of 19 tracks, 17 feature original production. Make sure to look out for standouts “Ms. Sincere”, “City of God” and “Dragon Style”.
Later, I asked Rae if he was still willing to collaborate with Nas even though he failed to make it on OB4CL2. Here’s the backstory: while working on the OB4CL2 album, Rae went public with his frustration about Nas’ absence. But recently, Nas told MTV News that he regretted not being on Cuban Linx 2. So here’s what Rae feels about Nas now…
“I know what [Nas] was going through at the time and I don’t wish that on no man. At the end of the day, I know he still got love for me and I got love for him. Just get yourself right and we gonna make history again.”- Raekwon on Nas not being on OB4CL2
Watch video of Rae’s response to Nas, and his comments about the upcoming Rock The Bells tour with Wu Tang. Also, Rae gets a surprise visit from his former Loud A&R’s Schott Free & Matty C (check them out on FrozenFiles radio now!)…
all after the jump…

The Chef looks like he been eating some of his own cooking.
Raekwon is cool as fuck and made some great music but not very versatile with his content – is there any song not about coke, robbing, and more coke?

I agree. Rae needs to come with better content because that coke shit is boring. Or at least expand on the samurai/Wu mythology as a retired swordsman who did his share of dirt type thing, and now he’s talking about it/educating the youf.
with that said, what i’m hearing so far sounds decent. I might give it a listen.

Compared to the GARBAGE thats out now…this is as hiphop as its gonna get. his content might not be versatile but his consistency has been on point.
