Wu-Tang Clan unleash 'Ruckus In B Minor' from new album A Better Tomorrow
After a troubled genesis, the Wu-Tang Clan have released the soul-inflected single 'Ruckus in B Minor' from A Better Tomorrow, their first new studio LP in seven years.
The legendary New York hip-hop collective have also unveiled the full list of tracks, and the surprisingly upbeat artwork, from the new record, which features contributions from all of the surviving members of the group. Raekwon most notably would not commit to the project at its inception, engaging in public disputes with defacto leader RZA over its direction and the 'business' side of appearing on the release, before finally making a commitment and recording his parts earlier this summer. Addresssing the issue on the track, RZA spits: "Rae, all those bad times is behind us."
'Ruckus In B Minor' heads up the fifteen-strong list, which also features previously-shared tracks 'Ron O’Neal' and 'Keep Watch'.
A Better Tomorrow is the group's much delayed anniversary album, celebrating two decades since the release of their debut Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers). It's due for release on on 2 Dec via Warner Music.
