First released in 2009, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II stands as Raekwon's celebrated sequel to the Purple Tape, expanding his cinematic mafioso rap universe. This newly designed instrumental edition removes the vocals to place full focus on the album's production, featuring beats by J Dilla, Dr. Dre, RZA, Pete Rock, The Alchemist, and more. For the first time ever on vinyl, the instrumentals are presented as a standalone listening experience, revealing the album's grit, mood, and layered sound design. Pressed on classic black vinyl and housed in a heavy matte-finish jacket with spot gloss text, the Shaolin Noir Edition keeps the spotlight on the music itself, serving as a clean, essential companion to one of Raekwon's most acclaimed releases.

Steven is the sound of me holding a mirror up to and critically reflecting on who I am the good, the bad, the ugly. It's about trying to understand the multitudes within me. -S. RaekwonSteven Raekwon Reynolds performs as S. Raekwon, but his second LP is simply calledSteven. Across ten tracks of furious and subtly strumming guitars, plodding bass riffs,and whispering revelations, S. Raekwon's newest album strips back sonic and personallayers to present his most vulnerable, yet authentic self.Born in Buffalo and now based in the East Village of New York City, Steven wrote,produced, engineered, and mixed everything on the record, in addition to playing everyinstrument except the drums. He packed up a rental car with all his gear and returned tohis fiancée's parents' home in Southern Illinois, where they rode out the pandemic andwhere he recorded half of Where I'm at Now. The house proved to be a nontraditionalrecording space, but one that provided plenty of physical space as well as spiritual roomfor experimentation.Steven and drummer Mario Malachi, longtime friends since their days at college inCleveland, Ohio, spent a week in July 2023 transforming the living room into amakeshift studio, rearranging furniture, sitting face-to-face in front of a mic, and tapingsongs in single takes. It was a new way of working together, with no demoing or pre-production; Mario hadn't even heard the songs before getting there, which created a senseof spontaneity and improvisation.Where his debut explored his past - longing for a connection to his father and the Blackside of his family and wrestling with his identity while being raised in a household by asingle, white mother - Steven looks inward.
