Following a successful year in 2009, Raekwon planned for an even bigger year in 2010. He decided to wait until later in the year to release his next album. But, the recording process would take longer than he expected. Because of this, Raekwon announced he would release Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang in 2011.

Raekwon recently announced his album would be released on March 8 of this year. Following the release of the Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang album, Rae plans to release another album. The rapper has proclaimed this next album will be DJ-oriented. Production for the next album will come from Just Blaze and Kanye West.

The planned release date for the next album is in October. His new releases will feature collaborations from Method Man, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, and GZA. Raheen DeVaughn will appear on the upcoming Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang album, along with a song featuring Rick Ross and Jim Jones. Most of the members of the Wu-Tang clan plan to release albums in 2011.
