Wu-Tang Clan Shares New Single "Necklace" From 'A Better Tomorrow' [LISTEN]

Wu-Tang Clan’s new album A Better Tomorrow will be out in less than two weeks, but today the legendary hip-hop crew have shared yet another track from the album, titled “Necklace,” which you can check out below.

In true Wu-Tang fashion, the track opens up with a grainy audio sample of a kung fu movie (it’s not yet clear what movie it is), though in an unusual production choice, the sample returns several times throughout the song, providing a sort of page break for each verse. The track features verses by Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, GZA, and Raekwon, all of which are about jewelry, if the song's title is any indication.

“Necklace” is the fourth single to be shared from A Better Tomorrow, following “Ruckus in B Minor,” “Ron O’Neal,” and “Keep Watch.” A Better Tomorrow is set for release on Dec. 2 and will be Wu-Tang Clan’s sixth studio album overall, their first since 2007’s 8 Diagrams. It will also be the group's first release through Warner Bros. Records.

“A Better Tomorrow isn’t only for us,” Wu-Tang mastermind RZA told Hitfix, “it’s for the people, for the world…that’s what the concept is.”
