Episode notes

Welcome to From the Streets to the Charts, the podcast that dives deep into the albums and artists that have shaped music history. I’m Conway, and today, we’re heading back to 1995 to explore Raekwon’s Only Built for Cuban Linx. This masterpiece revolutionized storytelling in hip-hop and laid the foundation for an entire subgenre. Let’s get into it.

Only Built for Cuban Linx didn’t just redefine hip-hop; it became the blueprint for mafioso rap, solidifying Raekwon and the Wu-Tang Clan as legends.
