Masta Killa Website Launch and New Album On Sale Today

CD shipping December 4th. Vinyl shipping January 2013. Limited-edition clear vinyl available for first 500 orders. Masta Killa may not be the most high-profile member of the Wu-Tang Clan, but he’s undoubtedly among the most consistent. The last original member to go solo, Killa has released two critically acclaimed albums in No Said Date and Made In Brooklyn, and has repeatedly stolen the show on recent Wu classics like Ghostface’s Fishscale, Raekwon‘s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. 2 and RZA’s Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack. Now, more than six years after the release of his last studio album, Masta Killa is back with Selling My Soul, a brand new collection. The title Selling My Soul may imply something sinister, but it has a deeper meaning for Masta Killa. “The music for this project was more in a soulful chamber,” he explains. “Anything from the inner self is a part of the soul. I put my soul into my music, and I’m in the business of selling it.” Featuring production from 9th Wonder, Mathematics, PF Cuttin, and more, Selling My Soul is a cohesive collection from an artist who doesn’t feel pressured to change his sound. “I would describe it as soul and substance,” says MK. “Soulful music and lyrics of substance.”

To celebrate the release, Masta Killa has announced a special limited-edition run of 200 autographed, hand-numbered deluxe edition box sets. Included in the box set will be: the album on CD, a full lyric book, a Selling My Soul poster, a Masta Killa wool cap, and a download card containing all three Masta Killa studio albums plus his live album. MK has also teamed up with RAW Rolling Papers to include a handful of RAW papers and an exclusive “Ooh Baby I Like It RAW” T-shirt in each deluxe box as well, paying tribute to the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard (a featured guest on Selling My Soul).

The Man with the Iron Fists -The Encounter - Exclusive Animated Short [HD]

If you can’t wait the two weeks to see writer/director/star RZA’s The Man with the Iron Fists, perhaps this animated prequel will suffice for now.  Narrated by RZA, the short follows the Blacksmith (RZA) traveling on his path to China and shows that not all of the fighting is confined to Jungle Village.  While it’s more of a compilation of concept art than actual animated film, it’s got a great feel to it (similar to Afro Samurai) and even establishes a history between the Blacksmith and one of the other characters from the feature film.

Also starring Lucy Liu, Russell Crowe, Jamie Chung, Cung Le and David Bautista, The Man with the Iron Fists opens November 2nd.  Hit the jump to check out the prequel. 

Here’s the new animated prequel for RZA’s The Man with the Iron Fists:

This prequel side story to 'The Man with the Iron Fists' finds the Blacksmith (RZA) on his way to China via a Dutch trading vessel. At a typical port stop, the Blacksmith and the crew have an unfortunate encounter..

Director: RZA
Release: 11/2/2012

Kanye West And Raekwon Collaborating On Cuban Linx III?

Raekwon and Kanye West sure make a good combo. Whether the pair are collaborating on Justin Beiber’s “Runaway Love” remix or on “Gorgeous” off of Yeezy’s 2010 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the results can’t be denied.
Most recently, Yeezy included Rae on "The Morning," the reggae-tinged album cut off G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer LP and now that the Wu-Tang Swordsman is beginning to work on a pair of solo projects, including Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. III, one can't help but wonder if his boy 'Ye will lend a hand.
"It'll only be right," Raekwon told MTV News while he hung out on the set of N.O.R.E.'s new video "Tadow" in Union City, New Jersey, last Wednesday. "One thing about me with that III, if I do that III the way I want to do it, I wanna break bread with everybody. There might be a young n---a out there that I feel got it."
While landing tracks from Kanye would be major, don't expect Rae to compromise his vision for the third installment of his iconic album series. In fact, the "Criminology" MC is in no rush. While he doesn't have a date for the next Cuban Linx, he says fans can expect it sometime before 2014, which gives him and Yeezy plenty of time to get the right collaboration going, if they actually decide to work together.
"The main thing is just the vibe, when we come together if we don't got a vibe, we don't got nothin'," Rae explained. "So we're really just taking our time, but we know we gonna do something."
Still, even with all of his big-name homeys, Raekwon definitely has his ear to the underground for upcoming talent as well. His 2009 album Cuban Linx... Pt. II featured production from veterans like RZA, Dr. Dre and Pete Rock, as well as newcomers like BT and Icewater Productions. "I would love to have an assorted selection and I believe that real talent comes from the street," he said. "I'm always gonna be that guy."

RZA Talks Failed Movies & Convincing The Wu-Tang Clan To Trust Him "One More Time"

'Trust Me One More Time''


RZA has been all over the press promoting the kung-fu feature film he directed, The Man With The Iron Fists, starring Lucy Lie and Russell Crowe. A topic that inevitable comes up is the state of the Wu-Tang Clan. In an interview with the New York Times, along with discussing some of his failed film attempts, Bobby Digital revealed that he is totally down for a Wu reunion, just under a certain condition.
Before The Man With With Iron Fists came to fruition, RZA had a couple of movies (Wu-Tang vs. the Golden Phoenix and film tied to his Bobby Digital In Stereo album) that have never been released due to his past arrogance.

“I thought I was the greatest thing on earth,” RZA said. “And you couldn't say that I wasn't. I wouldn't take no for an answer.”
Among the projects from that period that he says he couldn't resist was a film that he directed, starred in and paid for ($400,000) based on his superhero alter ego, Bobby Digital.
RZA said that one studio offered him about $250,000 to distribute the movie, and another $500,000, but he had his heart set on $1 million.
“At this time, I think I was more conceited,” he said as he sampled from plates of red velvet waffles, onion rings and a vegetarian Reuben sandwich. “I'm not going to take no 250, 500 grand from nobody, during this bloom of my life. I played hardball and the deal walked away.”
A second feature he directed and financed, a martial-arts movie called “Wu-Tang vs. the Golden Phoenix,” similarly languished, and both films remain unreleased.

As for a new Wu-Tang Clan album, RZA is trying to convince the other members to let him exercise total creative control over the project one more time. "I've been talking to some of the guys, like, ‘Yo, look, I would suggest that you put down everything you know, and trust me one more time'," RZA told the New York Times.

That will be tough considering members like Ghostface and Raekwon have relatively busy solo careers of their own. Keeping in mind that the last time RZA ruled like a dictator when it came to Wu-Tang music, the world was blessed with albums like WTC's Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., GZA's Liquid Swords, and more classic albums, it's at least worth considering.
The Man With The Iron Fists is in theaters November 2nd.

GZA Makes Method Man & Redman Become Vegetarians

Not all teasing is bad. At least, not for Redman and Method Man. After years of being made fun of by Wu-Tang Clan founder GZA, the two have gone vegetarian.


According to ABC Kero-Bakersfield, the hip hop stars gave up their steaks in exchange for veggies just like GZA, a longtime vegetarian. GZA told RedBullUSA.com about the change, “I used to tease Meth all the time about him eating steaks, use to tell him he was ‘Eatin’ a pig p**sy T-bone’. He hated that s**t, but he just recently came up to me and said both he and Redman are vegetarians now.”

That’s one way to get your friends to go veg. Tease the heck out of them until they give up. Maybe just take Def Leppard’s Phil Collen’s advice and say, “Look, kids at school are going to give you shit at some point so just tell them that they’re eating assholes and eyeballs.”

Remember the days when vegetarians were the only ones being made fun of? What a difference a few decades makes.
