Earlier this month, VladTV revealed that Loud Records would be celebrating the 25th-anniversary release of the classic debut album by the Wu-Tang Clan, Enter The Wu-Tang [36 Chambers] with nine rappers from today's era. The idea spearheaded by Steve Rifkind was met with a lot of backlash by hip-hop purists but, it looks like the culture will have something to look forward to from the almighty Wu-Tang Clan in the form of a new album.
During an interview with Billboard, it was revealed that the legendary hip-hop group would hopefully be dropping their sixth studio album in conjunction with the 25th-anniversary of their debut offering. It was also revealed that Ghostface Killah AKA Tony Starks would be overseeing the recording process and beat selection portion of the entire project.
Masta Killa had this to say about the upcoming album, "He's putting that together as we speak. There will be another Wu-Tang Clan album. We're working on that right now, and hopefully, it's ready right for the 25th anniversary."
Inspectah Deck added, "Ghost has taken it upon himself to say, 'I want to get the beats, I want to hear some things that's happening here,' so we're trusting him the same we trusted RZA in the beginning... Why not, man? Ghost has been successful in his solo endeavors. It's a change of pace. Hopefully, we get another banger, another Wu classic out of this project as well, in the 25th anniversary."
The sometimes slept on lyricist also stated, "It's been awhile since we've done [the whole album], since the early 2000s, maybe... It's 25 years, man, and we stood the test of time, and we're still proving ourselves -- and people still appreciate you like that, which is dope. So it's gonna be fun."
An album title and release date have yet to be revealed but, it's gonna be dope to see what Ghostface Killah puts together leading the charge for this upcoming Wu-Tang LP.
