Yea, Math has been VERY hit or miss over the past decade. I'd prefer True Master or 4th Disciple but I'll take whatever right now. This new joint is dope so I'm hoping Math brought out his best beats for this project.

Speaking of True Master, i wonder if he's even been working with the Clan, or any of the solo members, since he's been out. He's been out for a lil while now, you'd think we'd of heard something.

yea true master is a talented guy with a unique sound... it would be a sin if he didnt get back in the studio soon.. hes been MIA since he got back out !!

heres my theory: Meth and Math had been working on a secret duo album for a minute, track here and there on some Red & Meth shows over the years. i think this turned into that, which is great

love the lineup, great energy to start then you bring in Mariano aka Masta to close it out

Just seen this rza spoke on it

@IronFist @SoulController @Billy Ocean


After Thursday’s (August 24) surprisingly left-field world premiere of the brand new Wu-Tang Clan single “People Say” featuring Redman, the collective has officially announced a forthcoming LP, Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues.

The project is the eighth studio offering from the iconic Statin Island group — or seventh minus Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, the Wu album “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli bought for $2 million.

Although Ghostface Killah told HipHopDX last year, “RZA put the ball in my hand,” when asked about a Wu reunion, whether he was instrumental in getting the latest project underway is unclear.

According to the official announcement, RZA serves as executive producer, while production is being handled by Mathematics, the group’s longtime DJ and producer.

“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,” RZA said in the press release. “With The Saga Continues he’s created a masterpiece.”
The group was thought to be in disarray leading up to the release of A Better Tomorrow, the follow-up to 8-Diagrams (the first album released post-Ol’ Dirty b*stard). Most notably, Raekwon and RZA had public creative disagreements, and there was also some friction around the controversial sale of the Once Upon A Time In Shaolin album to Shkreli.

Wu-Tang is a brotherhood, though. The members might move in different directions at times, they’re all still connected to the hive.

“It’s never an issue with my brothers,” Raekwon told Exclaim magazine earlier this year. “They’re doing their thing; we already in discussions talking about moving forward together,” hinting something was already in the works.
The album, which is the inaugural (musical) release under RZA’s 36 Chambers LLC lifestyle brand, is set to drop on October 17. It features RZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Redman, the late ODB and Sean Price.

36 Chambers ALC fashion arm, 36 Chambers menswear, is also set to launch a new vegan accessories line called The Pineapple Collection, which is expected to arrive in the near future.
