The news comes after Nas and Mass Appeal announced in April that they'd be dropping off seven different albums from seven different legendary artists before the end of 2025. Raekwon was on that list, which also included Nas and DJ Premier, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L, De La Soul and what the brand calls an 'epic return by a surprise guest of honor,' according to a press release. Among those projects will likely be Ghostface Killah's long-rumored Supreme Clientele 2. As for the De La Soul and Mobb Deep records, they'll be the first release since the deaths of Trugoy The Dove and Prodigy.
No more details were made available, but the new Nas record will be the rapper's first since his 2023 run, during which he dropped off King's Disease III, Magic 2 and Magic 3.
Raekwon is currently on tour as part of the Wu-Tang Clan and Run the Jewels' The Final Chamber tour. The trej will head to Denver's Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre on July 4.

Will Target Be Open on Fourth of July?

Will Target Be Open on Fourth of July? originally appeared on Parade Pets. When it comes to shopping for our furry friends, there are few places more stylish than Target. Sure, you might have to visit a specialty store to find a t-shirt for your cockatoo, but at least Tar-zhay has our cutesy four-legged friends covered. They've got clothing, chew toys, and even a few specialty treats that Milo is sure to love, and with the Fourth of July coming up this Friday, we might need to add an extra stop to our weekly grocery route. 🐾 SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends along with expert advice from veterinarians and pet trainers🐾 Fido deserves to look their red, white, and blue very best too, after all, and if you find yourself wondering if Target is open on the Fourth of July, then sit tight for the answer. As much as Independence Day is all about the fireworks and barbecue, our furbabies deserve to show up to the party in style—even if they are a little bit afraid of all the ruckus. Depending on your pup's temperament, you might be in the market for treats to keep them occupied, a new bed to make sure they have a comfortable place to relax after running through the yard all day, or even an anxiety vest to help calm their nerves once the firework finale really gets if you need to make a last-minute treat run before the big day, Target will be open and waiting for you and your furry companion to go on a doggone shopping spree. That's right, pet parents. You and Rex can grab all the barbecue-themed chew toys and hot dog-shaped goodies money can buy because Target stores will be open during regular business hours on the Fourth of July. Even if you're looking for a cat tree to update Salem's new digs in honor of the big day, the cheap-chic retailer has you covered there, too. As a general rule of thumb, you'll want to check with your local store to verify its actual operating hours; however, for the most part, if your store is usually open until 10 PM, it should close at 10 PM on the fourth. That means there's no stressing if you run out of Fancy Feast or Gambit's favorite treats. You can grab all that and then some, and even any lingering party supplies to make your Independence Day bash go off without a hitch.
