Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… [30th Anniversary] (Limited Edition Double Purple Cassette) 2nd Pressing

Second Pressing with Black OBI & 30 Years of OB4CL Symbol

30th Anniversary Double Purple Cassette (Exclusive)

For the first time ever, the legendary "Purple Tape" is available as a double cassette, celebrating 30 years since its groundbreaking release on August 1, 1995.

This 30th anniversary edition of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... includes:

Tape 1: The full original album
Tape 2: Instrumental versions of the album, never before released on cassette

Created in collaboration with Mass Appeal, Sony Music, and Raekwon, this limited edition was built from scratch using Danny Hastings' original photography from the iconic 1995 cover shoot. The packaging also revives the original hype sticker and features a new OBI strip printed with Rae’s signature, “Shallah Raekwon” (IYKYK), just like it appeared on the rare first pressings of the OG purple tape.

This is the definitive collector’s edition: the first-ever double cassette version of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and the first time the instrumentals have been released on tape. Available exclusively through Raekwon’s official store and Mass Appeal.
