Sunday, March 25: Raekwon

The Royal Lounge

By Nic Leonard on March 22, 2012

Olympia will be blessed with an East Coast legend Sunday when Wu Tang Clan member Raekwon hits the state capitol for the first time.  Since officially joining Wu Tang in 1992, over the years Raekwon has become one of the more recognized names in the group and continues to consistently release his Mafioso style of hip-hop.  After releasing a very successful album in 1995, Only Built For Cuban Linx, "The Chef" maintained his composure and stayed busy by collaborating on many other Wu projects, releasing more solo efforts and working with many other top hip-hop artists.  Come see Raekwon this Sunday at The Royal in Olympia just for the fact he's rumored to have punched Master P in the face.
