They don't call him "The Chef" for no reason. He definitely cooked up a full course Hip Hop meal seasoned with Blues, Jazz, and Soul proving that his WHIP GAME PROPER. Raekwon's latest project 'The Wild' has to be one of the best albums of 2017. Maybe i'ma sucker for elite lyrical content and a snare that hit you like a Raekwon The Chef bar, but this project feels special. I guess another word for it would be...refreshing. The 'Trap' sound has flooded radio waves for the past couple years so hearing an updated 'Boom Bap' version of Hip Hip seems to fill a void in this musical revolution we are having with more Sing-Song or Melodic Rap styles. Tracks like "Marvin" prove that ones creative process does not have to be limited. Raekwon literally spits about the tragedy of Marvin Gaye...seriously, who thinks of something like this to put on an album? As an OG in the game and a seasoned veteran of Hip Hop, Raekwon shows that as an emcee few can match him. I hope he continues to put albums out for another 2 decades. Definitely a MUST LISTEN.
