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.

No GZA...

 

[criminology]

No GZA...

But also no U-God

 

[Cheech&Chong]

this is the best wu song since the iron flag days and redman has been killing everything for the past year

 

[bigillwill06]

But also no U-God

u god may be the worst member but he has done great on posse cuts before.. Gza seems content living off of liquid swords tours and college visits

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

But also no U-God

Loool you ain't right breh.

I hope it's dope, but I just can't look at it as an official Wu album without all the members on it or any RZA beats... It just seems like a compilation like Chamber Music & such.

Yea, I feel you. Still nice that it has Mathematics producing the whole project though so hopefully it doesn't sound all over the place and thrown together. Def sucks that GZA isn't involved. He's still putting together his next album that will never drop ​

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

It features RZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Redman, the late ODB and Sean Price.

Everybody who knows me knows I'm a huge Rza/Wu stan, like forreals I still wear Wu-Wear.

It's not a true Wu-Tang album without Gza and U-God

I'll cop and it could be dope as fukk, but Voltron ain't Voltron if it's incomplete.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is going to be trash. Don't have faith Math can hold down a whole album in 2017.

I like the single too. But Math full albums have been sub-par.

He hasn't had full albums with Meth, Rae, Deck, Masta Killa & Redman on a single either though lol
