![Verzuz Cheat Sheet: Raekwon x Ghostface Killah](/https/music.apple.com/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
As legend has it, one of the most beloved unofficial duos in hip-hop history, Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, weren’t always so fond of each other. The two hailed from warring hoods in their native Staten Island, and were only able to put petty differences aside when they believed they had a shot at making it as a part of Wu-Tang. Thank god for the RZA, because without his pipe dream of uniting nine disparate personalties under the dogma he adapted from one of his favourite kung fu film franchises, we would have never gotten Rae-Ghost collaborations like “Ice Cream”, “Verbal Intercourse”, “Apollo Kids”, “Ice Water”, “Criminology”, “Glacierz of Ice”, “Knuckleheadz” or even “C.R.E.A.M.” Of course, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah aren’t a proper duo, they’re two MCs with unbelievable chemistry who were not only part of one of the best groups of all time, but also integral to the creation of each other’s now-classic debut albums. On Saturday, 20 March, the world will have a chance to celebrate their work and their relationship when they face off in another historic Verzuz event. Get reacquainted with the verbal darts of these pillars of the Wu-Tang empire with the official Raekwon x Ghostface Killah Cheat Sheet playlist, as curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
