This is Raekwon's latest album and here is a short review of what I think about. First of all the album feels much more grimy and dark then Only Built for cuban linx 2 which was a great album. What happend Raekwon ? I don't know, but after the success of OBCL 2 Raekwon went down to his basement and onto some real dark mind mode. I think this album you really have to give it a spin a few times before making up your mind. 


The songs are well put together and there is not a single skit on the whole album, just a short outro at the end. This is great, we don't wanna pause the album and listen to someone talking shit for minutes..There is a lot to like for raekwon fans here. He has got a lot of good guest artists such as. Method man, Ghostface killa, Nas, Busta rhymes, Rick ross and a few others. 


The album starts off bangin with Shaoulin vs wu tang and then Every soldier with Method man. My personal favorites are. Snake pond (great storytelling, reminds me of Vietnam Vet stories) Rock N Roll which features Ghostface and Jim Jones (good beat and nice hook) Then there is Ferry boat killaz (alchemist beat) And ends it off with the relaxing and chill Masters of our fate featuring Black Thought

Overall a solid album from Raekwon. Not for everyone, but if your a fan I recommend it. Charlo gives this 3.5/5
