Following the release of the critically-acclaimed Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II, Raekwon announced he was back in the studio. Originally, Raekwon intended to release the follow-up to this album in 2010. But, for creative reasons, Raekwon chose to push the album back.

Late in 2010, Raekwon announced he was recording his follow-up album, Shaolin vs. Wu Tang. The album was scheduled for an early 2011 release. When the New Year arrived, Raekwon announced 2011 was going to be a major year. The New York rapper announced he was to release two albums this year.

The first release from Raekwon in 2011 is Shaolin vs. Wu Tang and it was released today. Currently, Raekwon is promoting the latest single, "Rich & Black." The song was released last week and a video is coming in the upcoming weeks. Raekwon is working hard on the promotion for the new music and will be releasing the video when it is shot.

Today was the first of two album releases from Raekwon. Shaolin vs. Wu Tang is currently available in stores nationwide.
