The Wu-Tang Clan has always used its
martial arts motif as a metaphor for survival, whether it be in the rap game,
the drug game, or life in general. Their
approach will likely never change, even when their music is being used in
service of an actual martial arts film. Though
the milieu of The Man with the Iron Fists
is ancient China instead of crack era Staten Island, the modus operandi remains
the same. The clan will never deviate
from course. Neither will Pusha T, who
happens to be the main feature of the latest offering from the Iron Fists soundtrack “Tick, Tock.”

Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge To Come Up With ‘12 Reasons To Die’ In Time For Thanksgiving
The RZA has been a very busy man over the last few years. Most recently, he’s been preparing his directorial
debut, The Man with the Iron Fists,
for release. The film now seems poised
to be the focal point of a full on Wu-Tang revival. Its soundtrack will certainly provide ample
opportunity for both core members and longtime affiliates to shine. However, the most irrepressible clansman will
have his very own showcase aside from appearing on that compilation. This fall, the incomparable Tony Starks will
be teaming up with producer/musician Adrian Younge for a collaborative effort
titled 12 Reasons To Die. As with the
soundtrack for The Man with the Iron
Fists, it will be released on The RZA’s new Soul Temple Records imprint. RZA
will be serving as executive producer.
There will also be a coinciding comic book from Black Mask.
