Raekwon Talks New "F.I.L.A." LP, Refers To The Album As A "Lifestyle Project"

Raekwon’s recent Lost Jewlry mixtape may have been a highly praised release, but according to the Wu-Tang spitter, the project was merely an appetizer leading up to the release of his new LP this summer. While chopping it up with HipHopSince1987.com, Raekwon revealed that his next LP titled F.I.L.A. (Fly International Luxurious Art) will serve as a “lifestyle project” that the world can relate to. “I got another project coming out, which is the LP causeLost Jewlry was basically an appetizer mixtape. To really get everybody to just get ready for me,” Raekwon explained. “So we wanted to drop something that we know that will make the heads turn like ‘Yo, Rae got it together on this right here.’ So you know, the next project is called F.I.L.A. F-I-L-A, which the acronym is basically Fly International Luxurious Art. That’s my next project that’s coming out in June. That one is a lifestyle project. It’s gonna be hot. I just got to the level of finishing it up and I’m feeling real good about this.”

After sharing his thoughts on a possible Wu-Tang Clan biopic, the rapper again spoke on a possible Wu-Tang Clan reunion album and shared that everyone would have to be “comfortable” for such an album to be made. “That right there is in the makings and it’s a lot of negotiations going on,” said Raekwon. “Process of really making everybody comfortable. We’re praying that that works. You know what I mean? That [it] works out in the greatest way. Everything has to be right. When you dealing with nine guys and you splitting the pot nine ways, it gotta make sense. Cause we got children now.” Raekwon’s Lost Jewlry EP was released in January of this year and featured guest appearances from Maino, Freddie Gibbs, and more.

New EP: J.Cole Truly Yours

. . , , , , , , ,

truly yours-cover

Jermaine has a stash of recordings. Today, he decides to give out five tracks that will not make the final cut for his upcoming album, Born Sinner. Says Cole:

It’s time. I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album. And I have. Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space) . Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul.. The wait is over.

Truly Yours,

Born Sinner

PS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.

Future Talks Possibility Of Recording Collaborative Mixtape With Drake

Future recently dropped his F.B.G. The Movie mixtape, touting the collaboration “Fo Real” with Drake. During an interview with Civil TV, the Atlanta, Georgia rapper said that he actually recorded two duets with Drizzy and that he ended up saving one of them for his upcoming sophomore album Future Hendrix. “It’s off the mixtape, because I also have a record that’s for my album that I really wanted to be on my album,” he said. “I just had it sitting aside for the album. It was another record, so I didn’t want to have two records with him on the album. I know this other record is in a whole other lane, it’s a lane-changer.” He also fielded a question about whether or not he would work with Drake on something more substantial, along the lines of an EP or mixtape. The “Turn On the Lights” rapper said that they would need to block off time in their schedules to record something of that nature, but that it’s a possibility, “Man, we was in the studio one time just talkinga bout the K-Ci & JoJo album,” he said. “But besides that, when we’re in the studio, we in the zone. Me and dude be in the super zone. We be on the same page. You could turn on the beat and we just find ways to build from it, and we just trying to find time to make it happen and squeeze it in there.”
