Raekwon Signs Publishing Admin Deal with Memory Lane Music Group

Long-Awaited Sixth Solo Album “F.I.L.A.- Fly International Luxurious Art” Coming This Fall

Grammy nominated, platinum recording artist Raekwon has entered into a worldwide publishing administration agreement with Scion Three Music, a division of Memory Lane Music Group. The announcement of the deal, brokered by Anel Pla and Mike Connis of S.W.A.P. Management, comes in anticipation of Raekwon The Chef’s long awaited sixth solo album, F.I.L.A. – Fly International Luxurious Art, which is set to be released this fall through Ice H20/Caroline and will feature several guest artist appearances.

“Raekwon is a rap legend,” says MLMG President Mark Spier, “He’s been a driving force in the genre since the Hip Hop explosion of the 90s, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with him.”

First recognized for his work on Wu-Tang Clan’s groundbreaking debut, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, it’s the hip-hop legend’s solo career that has made him one of the most influential and prolific rappers of our time. Over the years the Staten Island bred rapper has shared the microphone with some of the industry’s most notorious players including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nas, Andre 3000, Drake, Swizz Beatz and even Justin Bieber. Raekwon’s classic debut album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx introduced his lyrical genius, with the sequel album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II firmly cementing him into rap history. Now, as The Chef continues to work on his latest lyrical creation, he is also rumored to be rejoining Wu-Tang Clan on their highly anticipated 21st Anniversary album, A Better Tomorrow, which is slated to drop later this summer.

Raekwon will be headlining the 10th Anniversary Brooklyn Hip Hop festival alongside Jay Electronica on July 12th and kicking off a European tour at the Dour Festival in Dour, Belgium July 17-July 20th and the Rockefeller in Oslo, Norway on August 1st.
