attends Joe 3H's 26th Birthday Party March 6, 2008 New York, NY

No, not the shoes. ‘F.I.L.A.’ according to Raekwon The Chef stands for ‘Fly International Luxurious Art.’ In a very recent online interview with Cypress Hill’s B Real, Shallah spoke on his upcoming release, stating “I wanted to show people that I’m still at my best, but I’m into making now more stadium style music and catering to every audience.” Hit the jump for more.

The well rounded album is set to be another notch on the Cuban link chain. And, as always, Raekwon doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the description. He mentions that:

“I wanted to show people that I’m still at my best, but I’m into making now more stadium style music and catering to every audience. I want to give him a slice, him a slice, you eatin’. You over there in the corner that really don’t like me, I made something for you. Really just to give everybody that…stew pot that is me at my perfected level. You know, ‘cause I feel like I’m perfected…because of the fans, the way they salute me, the way they speak of some of my classic albums and shit. They make me feel like the hero. So this album is Fly International Luxurious Art. It’s nothing but me just really just showing niggas like, ‘Yo, his pen game is right. He’s being smart about the records he’s making. He’s catering to every audience of music.’ I have nothing to prove. I’m already in the books, so all I can do is keep giving people quality music. I went out and merged with some killer producers.”

Be on the lookout for F.I.L.A. early May.
