Wholesale From Staircase To Stage: Raekwon and the Wu-Tang Clan

Legendary wordsmith Raekwon the Chef recounts his journey from Park Hill in Staten Island to sold-out stadiums worldwide with Wu-Tang Clan in this memoir. Raekwon, a founding member of Wu-Tang Clan, is known for his versatile flow, storytelling, and imagery. His voice and cadence are synonymous with the group’s iconic sound since 1991. For the first time, Raekwon shares his story, from poverty to turning a hobby into a legacy. The Wu-Tang tale is complex and full of drama, covering the group’s origins, secrets behind songs like “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Protect Ya Neck,” and their rise from the underground to the mainstream. He also delves into the making of his meticulous solo albums, particularly the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and how spirituality and fatherhood inspire his creative process.
