"Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." is a seminal hip-hop album by American rapper Raekwon, released on August 1, 1995, by Loud Records and RCA Records. Often referred to as "The Purple Tape," this solo debut from the Wu-Tang Clan member features a range of tracks that have since become iconic in the hip-hop genre. The album boasts production from fellow Wu-Tang member RZA, who provides a cinematic and gritty soundscape that complements Raekwon's storytelling and lyrical prowess. Notable tracks include "Can It Be All So Simple," which reflects on the struggles of street life; "Ice Cream," a catchy anthem featuring Ghostface Killah; "Criminology," and "Incarcerated Scarfaces," which showcase Raekwon's vivid narratives and complex rhymes. Other tracks such as "Heaven & Hell" and "Verbal Intercourse," which features an early appearance by Nas, further cement the album's status as a classic in the rap genre. "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." is often credited with pioneering the mafioso rap subgenre and has had a lasting influence on hip-hop music and culture.
