"Raekwon makes appearance in Book 1"

9th illy is a comic series in which every book (separated by chapters) features a guest cameo in the form of a hip hop legend. The first icon to appear in the series is Raekwon, who is best known for his Wu Tang affiliations and countless solo gems like "Incarcerated Scarfaces", "Ice Cream", and "Heaven and Hell".

Even though the Chef doesn't show up until the last chapter in the book it's well worth the wait to see what role he plays in the story.

"I felt that including Raekwon in the story was important because his music was and still is such a big part of the inspiration for the first book ".
