We all know you love food, if you were an entree what would you be?

Raekwon: I would be a mean salmon – big piece of fish, sautéed right, asparagus, big branches with butter on it, nice baked potato. A good meal, something you would want to appreciate.

What is your go-to on the road meal?

Raekwon: I like a lot of turkey and cheese sandwiches. I never was the type to like a big sandwich – two slices of turkey, two slices of cheese, make it nice and lean. We try to eat a lot of fruit, put some greens in your body, which is important. Every now and then we knocking down salads and eat healthy but still – if pizza walk through the door, let me get two of them shits! I like Jamaican food, I like spicy food, love fish, try to get a lot of things grilled, shit like that. We gotta still try and make sure we doing the right things with our body, you don’t want to feel crazy. We getting older. Drinking a lot of water, we love drinking that shit.

What type of plate is Fly International Luxurious Art?

Raekwon: For me the plate is $1,500, quality and taste. The album is well rounded and I’m just excited for everyone to get it and base their opinions. As an artist, we tend to listen to our heart first. It’s so important we do that. Sometimes you want to please the fans, but you can’t. One minute they want this, then they want you to do that. Then when you do that, they don’t want that no more. People want to see you grow, then go “nah we want that vintage,” so it’s like got damn, I can’t get to y’all but I’m hearing y’all. So I’m going with my heart, doing what people expect me to do, take every verse and every song like it’s my last song in the game.
