The legendary Wu-Tang Clan released a new project through 36 Chambers/eOne last week entitled, The Saga Continues. Turns out that the project landed at number one on the independent charts on Monday, selling around 24,613 units including streams during its opening week. Entertainment One (eOne) global president Chris Taylor was excited about the news, stating,
Congratulations to Alan Grunblatt, the entire urban team, and Wu-Tang of course on this amazing achievement [...] Our U.S., and global teams have knocked this out of the park.
The Saga Continues features Wu-Tang members, Raekwon, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, and RZA. As well as longtime affiliate, now official Wu member Cappadonna and includes guest spots from Redman, Chris Rivers, and Sean Price to name a few. The project was produced entirely by DJ Mathematics who had this to say:
I put a lot of hard work into it. Definitely worked hard to make it a masterpiece. When I was putting this album together, I was basically trying to put together an album that when I listen to it … I’m real critical of myself. I’ve done other projects in the past and as I did those albums, I always listen back like, 'Aw, I wish I would have did this, I wish I would have did that.' Plus learning so much now and being able to put it into effect, I just try to put together a complete album, beginning to end. You have a lot of people who are all about singles. I’m not from that era even though I exist in it. When I get albums, I wanna hear albums I can rock to from beginning to end, all the way through. So, that’s what I was trying to do. And in order to do that, you have to create something that’s … it’s gotta be a masterpiece.
