It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite Wu member but Raekwon definitely made a claim for that title with the release of his debut solo album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx back in ‘95. One of hip-hop’s most celebrated releases OB4CL remains one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time and immortalized The Chef in rap’s history books. Get to know him (and The Wu) this week inside The Unauthorized Biography of Raekwon!

Here’s the audio from our special edition of OTA Talk with Maestro Fresh-Wes. His book Stick To Your Vision is out now!!! Here’s the breakdown…video coming soon as well!
Clip 01: http://usershare.net/b8olptx1kmyb
In segment one we welcome Maestro Fresh-Wes to the FLOW studios. We start the convo by getting to know where Maestro is from and touch on what Toronto’s hip-hop scene was like in the ’80’s. We also talk about Maestro’s start as an MC, how he met Farley Flex and where he’s always gotten his inspiration from.
Clip 02: http://usershare.net/rfneuph6mthq
In this clip we talk about Maestro’s defining single “Let Your Backbone Slide”. We talk about how the song came to be, its video and its unforgettable impact on the Canadian music scene. We also talk about his follow up album The Black Tie Affair and the classic single “Conductin’ Thangs”.
Clip 03: http://usershare.net/8f9m4ckbj2q6
Find out what Maestro’s process is for making records. In this clip we also talk about his Naaah, This Kid Can’t Be From Canada album title and the whole idea about whether or not artists from Toronto need to leave the city to find success. We end the clip with Maestro talking about his inspirational song “Nothing At All”.
Clip 04: http://usershare.net/udxd4l66yslb
In this clip Maestro talks about how his new book Stick To Your Vision came to be and shares a story from the book about the creation of his hit song of the same name. We also get into the book in more detail and Wes breaks down how to differentiate between constructive criticism and hate.
Clip 05: http://usershare.net/dj7f7q3wk4sw
Was writing a book a lot different for Maestro than writing rhymes? We also talk about Maestro’s new endeavor as a father and he talks about how he transferred his skills in hip-hop to other avenues in his life.
Clip 06: http://usershare.net/8ku8esthzlmp
21 years after the release of Symphony In Effect, how come no other Canadian rapper has been able to pass the album’s near double-platinum sales figures? We also find out what Maestro’s favorite era in Canadian hip-hop is and he tackles Ty’s challenging mixtape question.
