Wu-Tang Clan have a release date for their oft-delayed new album “A Better Tomorrow,” and they're sticking with it: mark Dec. 2 on your calendar.
Perhaps as a sign of good faith, the crew has dropped another actual new song, “Ruckus in B Minor,” from the set.
Pre-order has also gone up, and fans can get three tracks straightaway if they so choose to do so: “Ruckus” plus two other previously released tunes, “Keep Watch” and “Ron O'Neal.”
What may also surprise Wu-Tang supporters — aside from the shock that the group is releasing their first effort in seven years — is that the voice of the late Ol' Dirty Bastard (aka ODB) will be, in some manner, present on the set.
