It has been who knows how long since Raekwon performed in the city of London, Ontario. Friday January 20th was an evening to remember as the Unexpected Tour made its first stop at the Music Hall. Raekwon (A.K.A. “The Chef”) demonstrated that he still has the passion and strong emcee skills that he displayed on his debut album Only Built for Cuban Linx back in 1995. And even though the Raekwon and JD Era concert at the London Music Hall was not sold out on Friday night, there was a good sized crowd of Raekwon and Wu-Tang Clan supporters who had nothing but love and respect for one of rap’s finest storytellers.

Less than a month ago our photography Drew aka #ShotbyDrew got to cover the Rick Ross concert in Toronto. Rozay looks like he definitely rocked the Sound Academy!! Drew as usual got some amazing photos, you can see the set list, the crowd, Rozay titties and much more LOL, just KIDDING!
After looking at these photos I was thinking Rick Ross wouldn’t be as popular if he was skinny….random thought I know but you think we would love him as much if he weighed 150 pounds? Could he say “I’m the biggest BOSS” with the same demeanour? HA okay just enjoy these photos and as always check out the photo gallery for more amazing photography.
