Stream Wu-Tang Clan's New Album 'A Better Tomorrow,' '8 Diagrams' Follow-up is Out December 2 [LISTEN]

Wu-Tang Clan: Ruckus in B Minor

RZA spoke to Billboard in September about the 20th anniversary album.

"It's a record to me that merges the way music was made in the classic essence, in an analog way," he said. "As well as merging what's going down the digital way. All the entire 10 Clan members are on it. All the [living] members, which is a beautiful thing." (Founding member Ol' Dirty Bastard died in 2004 from a drug overdose).

Raekwon was given a 30-day deadline to appear on the album in April. Luckily, he made it to the studio. Had he not patched things up with RZA, A Better Tomorrow may have never been released.

"I would never want to put out a Wu-Tang album without every member available," RZA told Rolling Stone at the time. "At the same time, I don't want the fans to not have this incredible music we've been working on for the last year. So that's going to be a tough decision, but we have about 30 days to make that decision and come to that conclusion."

The Clan also has a long-running project titled The Wu - Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. RZA said there will only be one copy released, which has caused fans to offer between $2 and $5 million for it.
