It features guest appearances from other Wu-Tang Clan members such as Method Man, Inspectah Deck, GZA, and Cappadonna. Standout tracks include “Criminology,” “Ice Cream,” and the lead single “Heaven & Hell.”
**Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…** peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
