Wu-Tang Clan stream new LP A Better Tomorrow ahead of release

Feature by Dave Kerr | 28 Nov 2014

Ahead of its full release next Monday (1 Dec), Warner Music Germany are currently streaming A Better Tomorrow, Wu-Tang Clan's first studio LP in seven years. The introspective new record features contributions from all surviving members of the legendary New York hip-hop collective, following the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004.

Outspoken member 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 lead track, RZA spits: "Rae, all those bad times is behind us."

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). You can listen below.
