Required listening from the week in music.

At long last, "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Part II," the follow-up to Wu-Tang Clan member Chef Raekwon's 1995 debut solo album, is here. Wu-Tang fans will appreciate the '70s kung-fu movie vibe, and the Ol' Dirty Bastard tribute track "Ason Jones." Hip-hop just isn't the same without ODB.

Also in stores this week:
-- "The Resistance" is more epic rock from Muse, the band that deserves the "next Radiohead" label way more than Coldplay.
-- Fans of Kanye West's music -- not his recent antics -- will enjoy the electro-rap of Kid Cudi's "Man on the Moon: The End of the Day."
-- "Break Up" is the oddball musical pairing of mopey singer/songwriter Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson.
