Raekwon Brings H2O Label to Canada with New Toronto Office, Promises Cuban Linx III in 2012

Earlier this year, we reported that Wu-Tang legend Raekwon had signed Toronto rapper JD Era to his new Ice H2O label. The Canadian love doesn't end there, though, as Rae has expanded his label operations with a Toronto office.

As Raekwon's publicist has informed us, the rapper has set up an office at the Yonge/Bloor area of Toronto at 619 Yonge St., with plans to sign more Canadian artists and help bring them to a worldwide audience. To show he's serious about making Toronto his home base, Raekwon has even bought a condo in the city.

Aside from more material from JD Era, Raekwon is planning to release Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. III on the Ice H2O imprint. According to Rae's rep, the album will be available in 2012.

Stay tuned for more info on the label and the move in an upcoming Exclaim! interview with Raekwon.

Method Man & RedMan Working on Blackout 3

Method Man and Redman have been rap running buddies for over a decade, and the two MCs have no plans of slowing down. In a recent interview with Montreality, Redman says he and Meth are currently working on both movie and music collaborations.

“Red and Meth is opening their own video company, production company rather. We wanna call it Blunt Brothers Cinema," he said in a sit-down with Montreality. Though the name isn't final, Red said the company will produce a new Red and Meth vehicle in the same vein as the How High movies.

“Doing How High 2 the company Universal owns that name; they own the characters in the movie. So that means we can’t take How High to another company and use them characters…So what we gonna do is probably work on shooting our own movie. Call it something else. It will be marijuana related.”

In addition to the film project, Redman said he and his old partner in rhyme were working on a third entry to their fan-favorite Blackout! album series.

"Blackout! 3, Red and Meth, we coming. We coming with an album, Blackout! 3," he said. "We don’t know when it’s gonna drop, but we’re gonna try and put a single out next year."

The "Let's Get Dirty" rapper also said he was prepping a sequel to his 1997 album Muddy Waters.
