Wu-Block Members Ghostface & Sheek Louch Hitting The Road For 22-Date U.S. Tour

Following the announcement that Wu-Block, which consists of members of both Wu-Tang Clan and D-Block respectively, would be performing the album in its entirety at this year’s New Jersey stop of the “Rock the Bells” tour during Labor Day weekend, dates and cities have been announced for a full trek across the United States.

The 22-date tour will kick off on August 1 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, New York. The Wu-Block Tour will then hit cities like Philadelphia, New York, Atlanta, Austin and Las Vegas over the course of a month and a half, before coming to a close on September 14 at Upstate Concert Hall in Albany.

Although members of Wu-Block like Raekwon, Jadakiss, and Styles P. are expected to tour as well, only Ghostface and Sheek Louch have been announced as participating members, with more announcements expected in the near future.
The album, set to be released later this summer via eOne Music, is expected to feature a number of members from both camps, with primary contributions coming from Ghostface, Sheek Louch, Raekwon, and Styles P.

It’s extraordinary how a person can create – how that person’s mind, talent and ideas translate into melodies, lyrics, beats and soul that enable people to feel and experience life and life’s events differently.

A person, one person, whose ideas, heart and thoughts resonates to millions of individuals, independent of age, race, religion or background and in more forms than one – may it be music, film, the written word. It is extraordinary talent – and it makes what we call a legend.

Beginning in Fall 2011 WeSC proudly introduces a collaboration with a man that embodies all of this: RZA. RZA encompasses every single element of an icon. Creative. Intelligent. Dynamic. Talented. His impact and influence in music, culture, arts and film is immense and cannot be overstated. Even after crafting multiple masterpieces over two decades in various mediums, he doesn’t stop striving and creating.

Making ideas and creativity come to life. WeSC is incredibly proud to be working with a living legend like RZA and making great things happen. It’s a Superlative Conspiracy.

Rakim Says He Is A Fan Of Wu-Tang Clan & Jay-Z Movement

Rakim says that he is a fan of the "Jay-Z movement" as he appreciates the new direction that hip-hop is moving in.

The veteran MC has been working on the follow-up to 2009's The Seventh Seal but has also been keeping on eye on the ever-changing game. "I'm a big fan of Jay-Z'swhole movement," he told Complex.com.

"I'm a big fan of Eminem. I'm a big fan of people like The LOX, Wu-Tang Clan, and different rappers like that. Just watching from afar, knowing where it came from, to see where it's at now and see how rap impacts the world is unbelieveable."
"It's a good feeling to see that it's still a major genre in music."
Are you positive about the current state of hip-hop?
