There are few emcees in the game with a reputation like Raekwon’s.

Ascending alongside his Wu-Tang Clan cohorts, the Staten Island rapper quickly made a name for himself with stand-out bars and an unshakable attitude.

Since then he’s drifted from project to project, and is about to cement his latest solo full-length Fly International Luxurious Art which is set to drop on November 4.

Here he chats to FACT TV about his legacy, the new wave of rappers and what he’s been doing to keep himself on track.
