The Wu-Tang Clan icon continues to win as of late. Raekwon is building upon a top-notch rap legacy, that is now including opening his very own cannabis franchise. The dispensary is expected to open its doors with the plan to build it in New Jersey's capital, Newark. The company is called Hashtoria and you can find it on Instagram by simply searching "Hashstoria." However, there is still just one more obstacle to clear before Hashstoria can provide its services to the public.

They are still requiring the final approval from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission for things to get moving. Additionally, the approval was given by the board during the meeting last month on July 24 after the first denial to open a Class 5 cannabis retail facility. Furthermore, Raekwon is not tackling this on his own, though. Charlamagne Tha God is joining forces with the Wu-Tang artist as one of the main supporters of this exciting project. He was elated as well to be a part of this opportunity commenting under Raekwon's Instagram post saying, "I Love The Brick City and I love that we get to create jobs for our people We Thank GOD for it ALL!"
