In an interview with Playboy, Puff speaks on his short-lived career as a drug dealer. B.I.G. was right, them streets are a short stop. “Some of my friends were selling drugs in the Maryland and (Washington) D.C. area. I remember them having all this jewelery and new BMWs.

TIME magazine named Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 the #7 album of the year. In fact, it’s also the only rap album listed. Congrats! Here’s what they had to say: The sequel to Raekwon’s much loved 1995 solo debut picks up as if no time has passed.
