New Music: Raekwon (featuring Ghostface Killah)

I've been a little light on the posting as of late, but of course I had to return for...Rae and Ghost! Yeah, this new joint, entitled "Jihad," is apparently off of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, and while the beat is nothing to write home about, Raekwon certainly continues his hot streak. Ya know, the one that includes guest appearances on Ghost's last two records, his verses on 8 Diagrams, and his work on the fantastic lead single from Big Boi's upcoming solo record. Ghostface's rhymes are hardly his best, but he still spits some decent ones here in describing, uh, getting a blowjob, which somehow causes a rift between him and one of his boys or something. Anyway, and most importantly, "Jihad" provides some real and much needed evidence that OB4CL II may actually exist. But honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if it, along with Chinese Democracy and Tha Carter III, never sees the light of day.
