The cultural phenomenon that is Wu-Tang cannot be accurately described without referencing one of the pillars of the Clan's discography: Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx remains firmly planted as one of the defining triumphs in their artistic legacy. The oft-referred "Purple Tape" has been cited and debated by many as the greatest Wu-Tang solo project to date and remains a bullet point in any discussion involving the greatest "Cocaine Rap" or "Street Hop" albums of all time.

Raekwon's narrative plays out like a movie script from the violent, drug-fueled underbelly of New York City's criminal landscape, intricately woven over instrumentals by the legendary mastermind behind the Wu-Tang Clan, The RZA. Even the album's main feature, "Tony Starks aka Ghostface Killer", is referred to as such rather than described as a "guest star" appearing on 12 of the album's 18 tracks. It should be noted that while the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx did produce a string of successful singles, such as "Ice Cream", "Incarcerated Scarfaces", and "Criminology", like all classic cinema, the album was intentionally engineered to be appreciated in one sitting, played from beginning to end.

Continuing its proud tradition of honoring historically significant hip hop albums, Get On Down is honored to present Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" back on double translucent purple vinyl. This edition features, for the first time ever on vinyl, the formerly CD-only bonus track, "North Star (Jewels)". This is the definitive must-own vinyl edition of Raekwon’s masterpiece.
