Ice Water Clique, a four-man crew from Staten Island, Ny, has been under the tutelage of The Chef for quite some time now, opening up for him on his 30+ state tour and making numerous appearances on Raekwon’s last album 2002’s “The Lex Diamond Story”. Polite, Stomach, P.C. (Paulie Caskets) and D.C. (Donnie Cash) will attempt to make a name for themselves as well as mark Staten Island’s return to prominence as a hotbed for fresh, credible talent.
“We knew these cats had potential way back, but the timing wasn’t right. I always kept a radar on dudes, and when I felt they was ready mentally and lyrically, I helped ‘em get on.” Said Raekwon.
According to the press release, the veteran multi-platinum selling MC speaks earnestly, justifying the time he’s taken to refine the quartets innate skills:
“I can’t put my name on anything that I feel is not on my level. These dudes are on my level, that’s why I pushed for the project; I believe in them.”
A-listers such as Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Remy Ma, Three Six Mafia and Jagged Edge believed too, appearing on a number of the album’s tracks, which also features appearances from Rae himself and Method Man, along with production by such renowned producers as Scram Jones, Jagged Edge and EZ-Elpee.
Ice Water: Polluted Water will hit shelves on August 28th, 2007.

I dont think the album would be that good. Ain't he signed 2 aftermath?
^^^i think he still is, unless Dre dropped him too. This could be juss his group he's pushin.
I'm a raekwon fan, I don't know about his group but if he says there on his level it should be good. I dont necassarily believe him tho since he had to bring in wack popular "A-listers" like rick ross 3-6 and remy ma.
Im waiting for him to drop only built for cuban linx 2
I agree with that one,If there that good why do they need all these features.And on top of that the A list people at that...Sounds like them nigga might be(GAR-BITCH).
Anything to do with Raekwon will mean hard lyrics and no bullshit about cars and bitches.
Can't wait for cuban linx 2,the day that drops Nas will be saying hallelujah,Cos Raekwon will of resurected hip hop.
