Apparently Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon has been in the studio cooking up some heat as he announces the release of his sixth studio album titled Fly International Luxurious Art which is due out in stores on April 28 and features some of rap’s biggest names.
Also known as F.I.L.A, this album was produced under the the multi-platinum selling artist’s ICEH2O label along with Caroline, a full-service partner to the independent artist and label community. The 13-track release will feature fellow Wu-Tang spitter Ghostface Killah and some of rap’s hottest talents including A$AP Rocky, Busta Rhymes, 2 Chainz, Snoop Dogg, and French Montana.
This will be Raekwon’s third time working with the service company Caroline and it looks as if their relationship is in good health.
“Caroline is extremely excited to work with Raekwon on our 3rd release together as partners. Raekwon’s legacy and creative vision are unmatched and we look forward to providing a variety of services to help support,” said Dominic Pandiscia, President of Caroline.
The first single from F.I.L.A, “Wall to Wall,” dropped a laid-back head nodding tune that was well accepted both in the streets and on the charts. Produced by She Da God, a female producer out of Toronto, the track finds guest rappers at their best in what is sure to be the next anthem. Raekwon is also joined by Estelle who provides her unique R&B vibe on a song for the ladies called, “All About You,” produced by Jerry Wonda who also produces “Soundboy Kill It” which features the electrifying Melanie Fiona.
“The music and sentiment on Fly International Luxurious Art spans two decades of my career. I am very proud of all of the music and guest appearances on the project. I carefully curated each guest appearance with tracks built especially for each artist that appeared with me to bring out their essence. Everyone shines and every song is fly and luxurious art,” said Raekwon.
