Absolutely everything you come to expect (hard beats, that sound of a radio changing station and samples from dusty films) plus he's got some decent mates to call upon including Nas, Griselda, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, and Ghostface Killah.
Raekwon’s The Emperor’s New Clothes is a sharp return to form, showcasing the Wu-Tang
veteran’s lyrical precision and timeless street wisdom. The album is powerful with equal
parts - high-quality bars and carefully sculpted production.
Raekwon recruits a stacked lineup of guests, including Nas, Griselda, Method Man, Inspectah
Deck, and Ghostface Killah, injecting the project with gritty energy and legacy chemistry.
Marsha Ambrosius and Stacy Barthe provide smooth, soulful hooks, adding emotional layers
to the hard-edged verses.
Production comes courtesy of Nottz, Swizz Beatz J.U.S.T.I.C.E League and more.
The LP is a reminder of Raekwon’s enduring power as a lyricist and curator. A veteran artist
showing that mastery doesn’t need excess. The Emperor’s New Clothes is regal, streetwise,
and sharply tailored for those who value craft.
