[HIP HOP] On Thursday, September 7,  Wu Tang Clan member Raekwon will come to Buffalo for a show at the Town Ballroom. Originally scheduled for the Waiting Room, the show was moved this week after the Waiting Room suddenly closed. Raekwon has been an integral part of Wu Tang Clan since the rap group formed in Staten Island New York in 1992. In 1995 the now 47-year-old rapper released his seminal record, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, which dove deeply into the rapper’s “Mafioso Rap” style  and is considered one of the best Wu Tang Clan member solo records. In 2009, the rapper released Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II, which featured several members of Wu Tang as well as productions by Dr. Dre and J Dilla among others. His latest record, The Wild was released earlier this year. When asked by GQ magazine what it was like recording the record, he said “For me, it’s like yo, if I get the right production, it’s on. It’s like making a sandwich again.”
