Liquid Swords: The Second Edition in Autumn?

29/04/2010 by admin.

Wu-Tang veteran and teacher GZA in accordance to wuforever.com is release a sequel to his groundbreaking classic album this Autumn. More substantial details are yet to be posted, but the brief post mentions that the leader/abbott of the Wu - RZA is to produce the sequel.

Of recent times, GZA has gained notoriety for his collaboration with artists outside the realms of what many generally call hip-hop. Effortlessly, and funnily enough, he has received positive feedback for his work with guitar lo-fi bands and artists such as the notorious Black Lips, the otherworldy King Khan, and Santana’s son Salvador, compared to his latest release in 2008 ‘Pro Tools’.

If this album sequel will occur, it will be impossible for Wu fans to ignore and not compare it to a not so dissimilar sequel concept by Wu Gambino - Raekwon, who released the critically acclaimed ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II’ a decade-plus album’s worth of work.

Recently, an apparent  and more consistent resurgence in the Wu is happening since the tragic death of ODB in 2004, noticeably their sound has grown but there’s a maintenance of that Wu-Tang hard-edged sound.

In retrospect, maybe we should have seen GZA’s sequel coming.
