After dropping “Son of Sam” last week, Raekwon has released another new track. “All About You,” produced by the versatile Jerry Wonda and featuring a hook from Estelle, is pretty enjoyable. The beat feels a little atypical for Rae, but he totally kills these verses. It was originally found on Funkmaster Flex‘s Who You Mad At? Me or Yourself? mixtape. Stream the track below.

As we wait for new Raekwon to drop with his next LP, F.I.L.A. (Fly International Luxurious Art), he liberates another loosie for the net. Frank G. & RoadsArt flip a Melvin Bliss sample into this tight joint “Son of Sam” (had to go back and let “Jam 4 U” bump for awhile after hearing this). Rae goes in on this one, peep it. Look for F.I.L.A. to drop in the 4th quarter.

In a fresh interview, a salt-n-pepper-bearded, ruby-eyed Raekwon sat down with the crew from The Sermon’s Domain to chat about the upcoming Wu-Tan Clan 20th Anniversary album – hereby confirming its existence – as well as the status of his solo project, among other topics. Details of the group’s much-anticipated collective return are still scarce, including whether or not it will contain any unreleased verses from Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Even The Chef himself is quick to disclose that he had to find out the album’s current title at the same time as the fans did – “That’s RZA, that’s the Abbott. He do what he do.” Other highlights include Rae commenting on the experience of performing on a platform such as Coachella, where he graced the stage last weekend. For more information, it seems we will have to take Rae’s advice and follow the Twitters and the Facebooks to stay tuned. Peep the full interview below.

“C.R.E.A.M.” is really just one of those songs. Whether it’s Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and Method Man together or just any member of the Wu covering it, no matter how many times I see it live, I still get hype like I’m hearing it for the first time. Rae brings that feeling back, on his own, with this recent performance at The Shrine in Chicago. Afterwards, Rae shares his feelings on underground rap and the rise of Kendrick Lamar.

If you thought that look with Premier was a big look for Joey Bada$$ (it was), look who they’ve got young boy rhymin side by side with now. Statik Selektah assembles a lyricists dream team with Joey, Raekwon and Black Thought for his Extended Play single, “Bird’s Eye View.” All three emcees go off, as you’d expect, but umm no bias, that last verse is somethin’ serious. From any view (bird or otherwise) this is a win for hip-hop. Extended Play will be out June 18th via Duck Down/Showoff!

As promised, Raekwon and Scram Jones released their new collabo mixtape, The Chef vs The Beast, moments ago. The 26 track tape is a best of project highlighting some of their collabs over the years and also features some previously unreleased gems. I already knew these two have made plenty of bangers together, but glancing over the tracklist, I’m seeing they’ve got much more heat than I remembered. Sample the sounds for yourself, below and look for Rae’s LP, F.I.L.A., to drop later this year.

Scram Jones and Raekwon have cooked up some marvelous joints over the last few years. Tomorrow, we’ll get them in full compilation form via their collabo mixtape, The Chef vs The Beast, a best of tape from the NY veterans which will also feature some previously unreleased joints. From the previously unreleased category, here we have “Restaurant,” to hold you over ’til the full tape comes tomorrow.
