A living icon. A lyrical architect. A founding member of the most influential Hip Hop collective in history — Wu-Tang Clan. Raekwon The Chef has carved his name into the granite of rap’s Mount Rushmore, and now, with his eighth solo album The Emperor’s New Clothes, he reminds the world why he’s permanently embedded in the elite tier of hip-hop royalty.
From Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, a street masterpiece that redefined mafioso rap, to his critically acclaimed catalog that spans decades, Raekwon has consistently elevated the artform. His voice is unmistakable. His storytelling — cinematic. His presence – untouchable. He’s influenced generations, mentored titans, and remained a razor-sharp lyricist through every era of the game.
Set for a July 18th release on Mass Appeal, The Emperor’s New Clothes features a stacked line-up of guests, including: Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine and Benny The Butcher of Griselda, fellow Wu-Tang Clan members Method Man, Ghostface Killah and Inspectah Deck; rap icon Nas; singer Stacy Barthe, plus British soul star Marsha Ambrosius.Production comes courtesy of super producer Swizz Beatz, Nottz, J.U.S.T.I.C.E League and Frank G and Roadsart.
Raekwon The Chef confirms, The Emperor’s New Clothes is more than an album
— it’s a statement. A declaration of evolution, mastery, and the raw essence of New York soul. The Chef is cooking at the highest level, blending timeless bars with fresh soundscapes, proving once again that greatness doesn’t fade – it adapts, conquers, and reigns. The Emperor’s New Clothes is also the latest instalment in Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It… series of albums by New York hip-hop’s trailblazers.
8 albums deep. Platinum plaques. Global stages.
Cultural impact that can’t be measured — only felt.
