Taking a break from his OB4CL2 tour, Raekwon the Chef stopped to view the scenery and record an exclusive video clip for XXLMag.com.

In the vlog, Rae drops word of an official date for the highly-anticipated collaboration disc with Wu-Tang partners-in-rhyme Ghostface Killah and Method Man, as well as the name of the LP. “Yo, March 9th, Three, the Hard Way album coming,” he said. “Me, Ghost, Meth, get ready. We gonna be shooting a video next month or something… Everybody get ready.”

While the trio have yet to announce their group name, in a recent interview, the Chef told XXL that if it was up to him, he’d name the crew “Bastard Swordsmen.”

Stay tuned to XXLMag.com for more tour reports from Rae.
