Hey yo, the Wu is back
The Wu (or as close as you can hope) is back! Ghostface Killah sounds just as sick as he ever did on the new album, 'Apollo Kids', which features old Wu head Method Man, as well as his frequent collaborator Redman, both bringing clever rhymes and easy flows to the track 'Troublemakers', Busta Rhymes with his well-known jerking, powerful delivery on 'Superstar', and other Wu related heads and frequent Ghost collaborators including Raekwon (also on 'Troublemakers', and 'Ghetto'; well known for 'Incarcerated Scarfaces' during Wu Tang Clan's reign), Cappadonna (on 'Black Tequila' and 'Ghetto' here, and famously 'Iron Maiden' with Raekwon and Ghost), and GZA (of 'Liquid Swords' fame, featuring on 'Purified Thoughts' on 'Apollo Kids'). Overall, this is classic Ghostface Killah, with a real old-school feel and a return to the old Wu Tang Clan sound, which is hard to find in 2010, and will be even harder in 2011! Get listening!
