Editorial Reviews

If you're expecting a series of previously unreleased studio tracks from the Enter the 36 Chambers or Only Built 4 Cuban Linx sessions, you won't find much of that lurking here. But what DJ Mathematics assembles should appeal to any fan of the Wu or even just their scowling street-tale aesthetic and dissonant production. A loose assemblage of different B-sides, remixes, and a few unreleased tracks, the album includes both Wu-Tang founders like Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and GZA as well as satellite artists Eyes Low, Buddha Bless, and a post-pubescent Shyhiem trying to come grimy. Fans of the RZA school of dirty, dusted soul and funk loops will find much to like, especially "Wu Banga (Remix)," "King Toast Queen," and "U Don't Care." A throwback to the classic Wu era, Unreleased is welcome relief for rugged rap fans thirsty for liquid swords. --Oliver Wang

Product Description

Wu-Tang and Friends: Unreleased brings to light previously unavailable music from within the Wu-Tang family. For over a decade, the Wu-Tang Clan has released countless classic hip-hop albums and sold over 40 million units. Whether together as a group or as individuals on solo albums, their mark upon the hip-hop landscape has been unforgettable. Inevitably, with a catalog this impressive there are always songs that get lost or remain unreleased, leaving a plethora of material behind and unavailable until now. "Wu-Tang and Friends: Unreleased," compiled and produced by the Wu-Tang Clan's DJ Mathematics, contains rare recordings, remixes and unreleased tracks, as well as outtakes from the cutting room floor that didn't make previous Wu-Tang albums. This album features Ghostface, Raekwon, GZA, Method Man, RZA, Masta Killa, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Killah Priest, Hell Razah, Shyhiem and many more! For fans of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop as a whole, this album is a must have.

Is it good? It's excellent--true grimy liquid swords, like you'd expect from Enter the 36 Chambers. Get unreleased Wu, it's worth every penny

This album was pretty good in my opinion. You still hear the Wu sound on the entire LP. With a few guest stars, this album holds on its own. Though most of this stuff isnt on any LP it could have been. That just tells us, that Wu-tang had a lot of goodies to grab from!!If you like Wu you should definitely buy this unreleased Wu s***.

Contrary to the Amazon description, this album does not feature Method Man on any of the outstanding material compiled here (thanks to the the peerless DJ Mathematics). Some outstanding tracks here. At it's best, this album showcases some of the pioneering touches that contributed to the Wu pantheon. Very reminiscent of '36 Chambers'.
