The long-awaited follow-up to the classic masterpiece 'Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx', Raekwon has gone back to the genre he created back in the 1995 and has created another instant classic in 'Cuban Lynx 2'. The first one was a classic and this one is just as good if not better.
Raekwon's sound takes listeners back to gritty Shaolin of the 1990s; however, the production does not sound like leftover beats from that era. Instead, it is a fresh, new take on NYC street life and drama. Raekwon tells terrific stories throughout, narrating a journey through New York's underbelly. There is no glitz and glamour here. This album features no hollywood name-dropping, european exotic car and exotic vacation destination references and no over use of the words swagger, candy paint or money!
This is a deeper Hip-Hop that is not meant for ringtones and such!
