Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan Tells His Life Story (Full Interview)

Raekwon came through for his first VladTV interview in some years, and he started out by speaking about his new book, “From Staircase to Stage: The Story of Raekwon and the Wu-Tang Clan,” which he pointed out is from the Wu-Tang song, “Incarcerated Surfaces.” From there, Raekwon began telling his life story, including growing up in Brownsville in the 1980s, his dad being in the streets, and witnessing violence at a young age. Raekwon then detailed how Wu-Tang was formed and how they later signed a deal with Loud Records, which also included solo deals for the members. He also spoke about how the family dynamic of the group began to change when Wu-Tang began working on their second album, which Raekwon says he opens up more about in his book. To hear more, including Raekwon speaking about the Wu-Tang series on Hulu and possible movie projects in the future, hit the full interview above.
