Kanye Recruiting Pt.2: Raekwon, Another Justin

Aug, 19 2010

After the news that Kanye West had recorded about ten songs with folk singer Justin Vernon, Kanye has been matchmaking another unlikely rapper-and-Justin combo: the Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon is apparently heading into the studio with Kanye and teen-pop sensation Justin Bieber. "It's definitely gonna happen," Raekwon told XXL. "I'm big fans of both these guys." The collab was organized after a mutually appreciative exchange between Kanye and Bieber on Twitter last Sunday. “Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon," Kanye suggested after both had admitted being fans of each other. “Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = epic" Bieber replied. But it wasn't just small-talk: Kanye made a call, and Rae was keen. "When you got these kinda talents merging together to do something exciting, I think it's something that's gonna make the fans check it out," he said. "At the end of the day we're all doing our thing in the game and for them to even just have a conversation and just put my name in it it feels good. And we're gonna make a hit."
