RZA Announces New Wu-Tang Album [PEEP]

wu-tang

It’s been about three years since the Wu-Tang Clan released their last collaborative album, ‘A Better Tomorrow’. The legendary supergroup is ready to give fans another album apparently, with RZA announcing the forthcoming, ‘Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues.’

A few days ago the Wu dropped the first single off the album, “People Say” featuring Redman. If the single is any indication of what to expect from the album, you won’t be disappointed. RZA will executive produce the album, while DJ Mathematics will produce from front to back.

Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Bobby Digital, Raekwon, Inspektah Deck, Masta Killa, ODB, Redman, and Sean Price, and others will all be featured on the album.

“For years, Math has had the idea of putting together a body of music using modern and legendary equipment such as ASR10 with vocal performances by Wu-Tang Clan members and other prominent MCs,” said RZA. “With The Saga Continues, he’s created a masterpiece. We at 36 Chambers ALC are honored to work with Mathematics to put out a great piece of art.”

‘Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues‘ will be released as part of a new partnership between 36 Chambers ALC and eOne Music. As of now the album is slated to be released October 13th.
