Raekwon – Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang set for release…

“Shaolin Vs Wu-Tang is done”, according to the Chef himself. He went on explain, “It’s coming out in March. It’s fire!”. The project is set to be released on Rae’s Ice H20 imprint, so expect to see cameos and production from the official chef weed carriers. “Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang” will see a CD release worldwide via a distribution deal with EMI, who helped the Wu-Tang swordsman climb back to the top of the hip hop world in 2010.

RZA – Brothers Keeper ft. Rev. William Burke

Rza’s weekly Wu Wednesday release.
According to Rza:
“We strive to be light for our family.” RZA”
“You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. And sometimes to help them we have got to help ourselves.” – Stevie Ray Vaughan

Outlines – Visions f. RZA

The song is about world peace thru us taking individual responsibility for our actions and us helping save to others once we have saved ourselves. Being out here in China and seeing the growth of our culture in their world and seeing how their culture influenced my world led me to choose this song. We all so much on the same path as individuals only separated by language and custom and location. And the negative forces that strive to keep us apart by fabricating false images of each other. Well the RZA and Outlines have a vision for a better world.
