The legendary Raekwon was the latest celebrity to call into The Breakfast Club for an interview.

Throughout their conversation, the Wu-Tang rapper talks to Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee about everything going on in his life and his career right now. Just like the rest of the world, a lot of things have been put on hold due to the current COVID-19 pandemic–but that won’t stop one of the most iconic rappers in the world from working on music behind the scenes.

In the interview, Raekwon talks about the history of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, his iconic solo debut album that’s currently celebrating its 25th anniversary.  The rapper also announced this week that as a gift to fans, he would be reissuing the album’s instrumentals on vinyl. 

Raekwon also reminisces over the history of the Wu-Tang clan and some conspiracy theories that have been surrounding the group for decades now. The Chef also tells an absolutely hilarious story about working as a lifeguard who couldn’t swim, whether or not he actually burnt down somebody’s house, and so much more
