The Wu-Tang Clan Get Rugged & Raw On Tuff New Single "Necklace"

 The Wu-Tang Clan comes through with another vintage showing on their latest release "Necklace" off the anxiously anticipated reunion piece A Better Tomorrow. Leaving no one out of the cypher, the whole crew goes in on a production that wreaks of the crackling Shaolin funk, chopping clips from old flicks and gun shots into one grimy specimen of true-school delight. It's the latest in a line of early peeks at the ever-coveted album, following "Ruckus In B Minor" (which was blessed with a beyond-the-grave cameo from the dearly departed ODB) and their tribute to the The Mack "Ron O'Neil."

But there's so much more Wu to go around. Even with the departure of Raekwon's Throwback Thursday series, there are two Ghostface albums on the way. The first will arrive just a week after A Better Tomorrow on December 9th in the form of his 36 Seasons concept piece and the the second will be an all-too-fitting collaboration between himself and BADBADNOTGOOD on the Sour Soul LP, which hits stores in early 2015. There's still no word on whether we'll ever get the 1-of-1 Once Upon A Time In Shaolin LP, but there's always A Better Tomorrow. Listen The Wu-Tang Clan's "Necklace" below and preorder their new record on iTunes today ahead of its December 2nd drop.
