The Pj’s... From Afar

Raekwon

A gritty, unpolished EP of Staten Island street noir. Dusty soul loops and sharp-tongued narratives captured on a rare promo pressing.

Find on Amazon

It's a short, sharp hit of that classic Wu-Tang street noir you've been missing.

A tense, cinematic walk through the urban shadows of Staten Island.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the soul sample on track 1 hangs in the air before the snare snaps in
The abrupt, unpolished transition into the bonus beat on track 2
The stripped-back clarity of the instrumental version revealing the loop's hypnotic grit
