Veteran rapper, Raekwon’s album The Emperor’s New Clothes marks a refined return to gritty storytelling blended with sleek modern beats. Production is handled by The Alchemist, 9th Wonder, DJ Muggs, and Madlib, offering a diverse yet cohesive sonic palette. Notable features include some exciting features such as Nas, Ghostface Killah, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Marsha Ambrosius and more. Raekwon’s lyricism remains both reflective and razor-edged, balancing nostalgia with forward momentum. Despite its modern sheen, the album stays true to classic Wu-Tang aesthetics without sounding dated. Overall, The Emperor’s New Clothes solidifies Raekwon’s position as a rap elder statesman still capable of evolution. You can support him and buy/stream his new album out, Friday !!
