Raekwon Feat. G-Eazy – Purple Brick Road
Produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and taken from The Chef’s upcoming album The Wild, out March 24th. Rae also explained the collaboration (via Pitchfork):
As I shift gears with my diversity, I want fans to see another side of a champion; my triumphs remain inimitable when making music for yesterday and today’s culture. G-Eazy is a master writer and he helped me create the greatest vision any artist could ask for; another great recipe from my skillful cookbook. This album is a circus of emotions. I hope you get a great seat to what I will display on The Wild. Get ready…
