UNRELEASED

"THIS ALBUM IS A DIEHARD WU-FAN COLLECTOR. IT HAS THE WUTANGS OLD SOUND AND STYLE AFTER THE 36 CHAMBERS AND BEFORE THE WUTANG FOREVER SOUND. IN THOSE TIMES EVERYTHING SOUNDED DARK AND HEAVY ON THE MENTAL. IT IS BY ALLAH MATHEMATICS. THE WU-SOUND TODAY METAMORPHED TO A NEW TYPE OF FEEL INCLUDING MATH. HENCE, THIS ALBUM IS NOT FOR A SOFT EARED PERSON.
DIE HARD FANS, REMENISCE ON THIS BACK IN THE DAY JOINT AND HOLD TIGHT ON THE GOD'S JEWEL."
A throwback to the Wu era

"Contrary to the Amazon description, this album does not feature Method Man on any of the outstanding material compiled here (thanks to the the peerless DJ Mathematics). Some outstanding tracks here. At it's best, this album showcases some of the pioneering touches that contributed to the Wu pantheon. Very reminiscent of '36 Chambers'."

"Is it good? It's excellent--true grimy liquid swords, like you'd expect from Enter the 36 Chambers. Get unreleased Wu, it's worth every penny"
Still Wu

"This album was pretty good in my opinion. You still hear the Wu sound on the entire LP. With a few guest stars, this album holds on its own. Though most of this stuff isnt on any LP it could have been. That just tells us, that Wu-tang had a lot of goodies to grab from!!If you like Wu you should definitely buy this unreleased Wu s***."
