Biography
Raekwon (born Corey Woods, January 12, 1970) is an American rapper who defined 1990s hip-hop through Wu-Tang Clan's collective vision. He co-founded the group, which achieved mainstream success after releasing *Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)* in 1993—a landmark debut that shifted rap's sonic landscape. His solo career launched with *Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...* (1995), an album widely regarded by critics as one of the greatest hip-hop records ever made and a defining moment of 1990s rap. Though his middle releases—*Immobilarity* (1999) and *The Lex Diamond Story* (2003)—drew mixed responses, he returned with *Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II* in 2009, which critics likened to *The Godfather 2*. Raekwon is recognized for his "street epics" that balance straightforward narrative with linguistic sophistication, placing him among hip-hop's leading voices. Beyond recording, he founded ICE H20 Records, expanding his influence as a label executive. As a Capricorn born in the US, Raekwon embodies discipline and structural mastery in both his lyricism and career trajectory.
