Raekwon boasts one of the best solo catalogs out of the Wu-Tang Clan, and he's going to follow it up with another entry. The Emperor's New Clothes comes out on July 18 via Mass Appeal, and we just got the full tracklist for the effort per HipHopNMore.
Some of the biggest names on here are The Chef's longtime peers: Nas, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, and Method Man make appearances. We're also getting a Griselda cut with a track featuring Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, and Benny The Butcher. Other features on The Emperor's New Clothes include Marsha Ambrosius, Tommy Nova, and Carlton Fisk.
This is the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx legend's first album since 2017's The Wild, and will boast production from Swizz Beatz, Nottz, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Frank G and Roadstart, and many more. It's also part of Mass Appeal's "Legend Has It" album series boasting new projects from Nas, Ghostface Killah, De La Soul, and more.
