Cappadonna released a new double album last month titled Eyrth, Wynd and Fyre, which focused on more message-orientated tracks.

Ghostface Killah & Raekwon The Chef – The Lost Unkut Interview
Around the time of Stark’s R&B album and Chef’s Cuban sequel, I interviewed the two of them for Hip-Hop Connection Digital. Here are some of the parts that I didn’t feature in the original piece that mainly cover some of the old days of Staten Island rap. Robbie: What were the early days like on…
