Ghostface Killah & Sheek Louch Announce 'Wu-Block' Release Date

Ghostface Killah and Sheek Louch have been slow cooking this Wu-Block album for quite sometime. The wait for it, is almost over. The project is set to be released October 9th through eOne Music.
"This is a unique street album combination like carnation milk with oatmeal. And a dash of cinnamon," explains Ghostface in a press release. He adds, "We got killing on lock. It’s like assisination day – nothing but darts being thrown. It’s like Batman and Robin shit. It’s real street sh*t for the fans. They’ve been thirstin’ for this.”
Sheek also added his thoughts, “Other people trying to sell albums together. Those are radio albums. This shit is for the street. Wu-Block mixes the rap style, lyrics, beats, imagery and ideology of the 9 member Wu-Tang clan with the flow, underground star power, hard hitting bars, street story telling and bass rattling sounds of D-Block."
So with this announcement and album on the horizon, it's only right I quote the movie Gladiator. "Are you not entertained?" Wu-Block October 9th....

Ghostface Killah Discusses Delivering Music With A Message

Ghostface Killah recently sat down to discuss his legendary career and explained that he’s always been interesting in delivering music with a message. The Wu-Tang Clan rapper took a look at how he’s influenced the world, and expressed his view of new hip hop which he says is predominantly filled with lyrics about living the high life.
Ghostface explained that Islam allowed him and the Wu-Tang Clan to deliver music with a message. “We all studied Islam. It just helped us more to get the awareness to the people; the message that we’re trying to drive. We came up with a message and also thugged out at the same time. We were just regular brothers that were on the block that were fly. We were building. Building is talking, trying to teach somebody. Give somebody some knowledge. And we’d do that all day while we were on the block smoking and drinking,” Ghostface told Bad-Perm.com.
Ghostface also took a look at his own influence on the world at large and cited a number of trends that were started as a result of his music. “At the end of the day, people know who it is and stuff like that. I got so many people that follow me — I did ‘Might Healthy,’ they came out with a store called Mighty Healthy. I did ‘Supreme,’ they came up with a store called Supreme. ‘Fishscales,’ they had a clothing line called Fishscales. People tend to just follow a lot of things. I set a lot of trends. My robes to the Wallabees. I don’t think people do it out of disrespect. They’re just fans,” said Ghostface.

According to Ghostface, the substance in hip hop has changed over the years and he says the focus has shifted from content to glamor. “A lot of ones [rappers] today just really talk about the club and their jeweler and cars. I really don’t know, because I don’t hear Slick Rick no more. Nas has slowed down for a minute, because he was one of my best. Even The Genius was one of my best. I don’t really, really hear too much like that,” said Ghostface.
