Wu-Tang have some “Legendary Weapons” up their sleeves.
The new collaborative project from the equally legendary rap troupe is scheduled to drop July 26, and has the promise of executive production from RZA, the band backing of Brooklyn’s The Revelations and a high number of contributions from Ghostface Killah.
A released describes the 14-track “throw-back sound” set as being “inspired by classic soul and kung fu imagery,” neither of whcih are surprises coming from these guys.
