Watch Ghostface Killah & Raekwon Deliver Freestyle at Madison Square Garden for Kith

In collaboration with Kith and the New York Knicks, hip-hop legends Ghostface Killah and Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan deliver a 2-minute freestyle.

Ghostface Killah and Raekwon have reconnected with Kith. On Monday (November 7), the clothing line’s founder Ronnie Fieg dropped a surprise visual featuring the two Wu-Tang Clan veterans rapping accapella in Madison Square Garden for a new collaboration with the New York Knicks.

“Ayo Knick lovers, here’s a bonus/this largest rap group opened doors, cease the moment,” Ghostface Killah raps in the promo before he’s joined by Raekwon.

The rollout is also part of Kith’s new Asics EX89 Collection with three low-top color options, each inspired by the New York Knicks.

Ghostface Killah and Raekwon last partnered with Kith and Timberland in December 2018 for a collection that paid tribute to mid-90s hip-hop apparel. That same year, Raekwon shouted out Fieg in an interview with Complex, calling the designer “family.”

“Shout out my boy Ronnie Fieg. He’s a guru. He’s a fashion guru,” Raekwon said. “Coming from Queens, he knows how important fashion is. He called me and Ghost to come out and put in some work with him to promote that 40. I like the fact that he did 40s over, because we all like high-top boots. The high-top, you can’t go wrong.”

While on the NY State of Mind Tour with Wu-Tang Clan and Nas, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon last premiered an untitled track on Hot 97 in September.

A “Kith Night” will be held at Madison Square Garden on November 11 for the New York Knicks vs. Detroit Pistons game. Tickets for the match are on sale now.
