Seam splits on record jackets are a common occurrence with vinyl: we cannot issue refunds or replacements for seam splits. We use sturdy mailers and stiffeners to minimise risk but to 100% avoid seam splits, we have added a notes section at checkout where you can request jacket-less shipping, or you can email us after placing your order — we’ll gladly accommodate this free of charge.
DESCRIPTION
A founding member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon has built one of hip-hop’s most enduring solo catalogs, led by the landmark Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… series. Following the return of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II to physical formats and the release of his acclaimed 2025 album The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Chef revisits another essential chapter of his catalog with the 15th Anniversary Edition of Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang. Originally released in 2011, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang pairs Raekwon’s vivid storytelling and unmistakable lyrical style with an all-star cast including Nas, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Busta Rhymes and Black Thought. This expanded anniversary edition adds two bonus tracks and arrives during a landmark year for Raekwon and the Wu-Tang Clan, with the group on tour and being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2026.
