Legendary rapper Raekwon the Chef opens up for the first time about his journey, from the stairwells of Park Hill in Staten Island to sold-out stadiums around the world with the Wu-Tang Clan, in an autobiography available in French for the first time. There are rappers everyone loves, and then there are rappers every rapper respects. Corey Woods, aka Raekwon the Chef, is one of the rare artists to command both. His natural gift for storytelling and the evocative power of his lyrics have left their mark on generations of fans and influenced an entire new school of rappers. A founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, his voice and flow have been inseparable from the sound that has elevated the group to iconic status since 1991. Today, Raekwon retraces his journey, from poverty to building a lasting legacy. He reveals the Wu-Tang Clan’s behind-the-scenes story, from its origins to classics such as C.R.E.A.M., looks back on his solo albums, including Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and explores the influence of spirituality and fatherhood on his creative work.
