Ghostface Killah Announces New Album, Tour Dates

Reader, were you disappointed with Ghostface Killah’s last proper solo album, 2009’s R&B-focused and ridiculously titled Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City? You weren’t alone. Luckily, we live in a world of possibilities, where an artist always has a second chance as long as he’s willing to give it another shot. A world where, amidst this infinite potential, there is… All right, perhaps we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves....  read more

Wu-Tang Clan Roundup: Where are the Killa Bees Landing These Days?

image not available

Wu-Tang is so scattered that they don't really qualify as a clan; at this point they're probably closer to a loose network of anarcho-syndicalist collectives. So no, we'll probably never see another record approaching the unmitigated brilliance of their 1993 debut Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). The upshot to that is the individual members of the Clan are left to their own devices, which has produced some pretty great stuff, and they're set to continue that trend for the near-future....  read more

Raposauria, He: First-Listen Thoughts on DOOM's <em>Born Like This</em>

A couple weeks back, word came down that that tricky masked villain would be dropping a new album. MF Doom, now unfortunately rechristened DOOM ("All big letters, but it isn't no acronym," as he says on "Ballskin."), will release Born Like This on March 23 via Lex Records. For a guy with so much allegedly on his plate (a new Madvillain record? a collaboration album with Ghostface? other various stuff?), it's nice to see him get around to releasing something.We'll have a proper review of the full album, but in the meantime, take a stroll with me through the Born...  read more
