A synopsis for the show reads: \u201cOnly Built 4 Cuban Linx\u2026<\/em> is a landmark hip-hop album released by rapper Raekwon who rose to prominence as a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan.<\/p>\n

\u201cProduced by fellow Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA, this record is a cornerstone of East Coast hip-hop and a quintessential piece of the genre\u2019s golden era, thanks in part to RZA\u2019s extraordinary beats and the introduction of Raekwon and Ghostface Killah as a legendary rap duo.\u201d<\/p>\n

The description continues: \u201cWith its gritty storytelling, intricate lyricism, and cinematic production, Cuban Linx<\/em> offers listeners a vivid glimpse into the street life of 1990s New York City. Together with the Colorado Symphony, this legendary duo will reimagine their timeless album that continues to inspire and shape the sound of contemporary hip-hop today.\u201d<\/p>\n

RZA previously put together a trio of shows to commemorate the 30th anniversay of Wu-Tang Clan\u2019s debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).<\/em><\/p>\n

He also brought 36 Chambers of Shaolin and a Ballet Through Mud <\/em>to the same venue in Denver.<\/p>\n

The Abbot narrated and live-scored a condensed version of the 1978 kung fu film\u00a0The 36th Chamber of Shaolin<\/em>\u00a0that inspired the name of Wu-Tang Clan\u2019s first album, before premiering\u00a0A Ballet Through Mud<\/em>\u00a0that combined spoken word, ballet and live orchestration.<\/p>\n

Recent years have seen a number of rap performances with an orchestra including Jeezy who performed his debut album Thug Motivation 101<\/em> with a symphony last year.<\/p>\n

Nas also performed the entirety of his seminal album Illmatic<\/em> at the Walt Disney Concert Hall backed by a full orchestra to honor his debut\u2019s 24th birthday in 2018.<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the first time Nas performed with an orchestra. The rap legend previously ran through his 1994 debut with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center back in 2014 to commemorate the album\u2019s 20th anniversary.\u00a0\u00a0The performance was later aired on PBS in its entirety as part of their\u00a0Great Performance\u00a0<\/em>series<\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
