While on tour for his current album Apollo Kids (available now), Pretty Toney states that he’s already at work on the sequel to his 2000 album (and one of the best Wu-Tang albums in my opinion). GHostface for president.
I decided to re-purpose the images for my favorite track off Ghostface Killah’s latest album called ‘Apollo Kids’ (which tragically, the fans are sleepin’ on). This joint is tighter than the previous time and the track is banana bread pudding. – Dallas Penn
Apparently, this cut – originally called “Chunky” – was released on an on J-Love mixtape. Now it will return as an iTunes bonus track off Apollo Kids, featuring a Fabolous verse. Props to Alex.
The other day Sheek took to Twitter to announce a Wu-Block album. Many folks assumed it was a full Wu-Tang vs D-Block type project, but that’s not exactly the case. Expect Sheek and Ghost to handle the majority of the rhyming with some help from the likes of Raewon, Styles P, Jadakiss, Cappadonna, Trife and others.
Me and Ghost were just on tour together for about two months,” says Sheek, who is getting ready to release his first Def Jam solo album, Donnie G: Don Gorilla, on Dec. 14. “So every night, we were writing and eventually the idea to do a project together came about organically. The plan is for me and Ghost to front it and to include certain cats from Wu-Tang and D-Block on some songs so that’s it’s a true Wu-Tang/D-Block album. I already told Raekwon, Styles P and Jadakiss that I’m going to need them on some joints. Cappadonna and Trife [Da God] are down. And we’re going to get some RZA tracks, too. It’s gonna be dope.”
Apparently the version found on Ghost’s The Pretty Toney Album was the second version, as this is the original that was left on the cutting room floor. Masta Killa’s The Next Chamber is now on iTunes.
