Raekwon is tagged as: hip-hop, rap, wu-tang, hip hop, east coast rap Corey Woods (born January 12, 1970 in Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage name Raekwon, is an American East Coast rapper and a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. He may not have achieved the solo stardom of his fellow Wu-Tang Clan members Method Man, Ol’ Dirty Bastard or RZA but along with Genius/GZA and frequent partner Ghostface Killah, he’s done some of the most critically acclaimed work outside the confines of the group. His 1995 solo debut album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… is widely considered to be one of the best Wu-Tang solo albums, and one of the finest and most influential hip hop albums of the 1990s. Over the years, Raekwon has become known for staying true to his New York street fan base and making little effort to appeal to those outside of the city. He has since released 1999’s Immobilarity, 2003’s The Lex Diamond Story and the sequel to Only Built For Cuban Linx… in 2009. In The Wu-Tang Manual, RZA explains that Raekwon also derives the “chef” moniker from his experience as an actual chef (“He was known for cooking up some really good fish.”), though it is also likely a reference to cooking cocaine, though he has expressed disapproval of the use of cocaine. Raekwon was born in Brooklyn, New York. ... Read More About Raekwon Biography...  Send Raekwon ringtones to your cell
