i know RZA is filming that show, but i hope he can return for a week in the lab soon. obviously alot of tweaks need to be straigtened out
this needs to be leaked with the new hook and mastered, i think they'll get it sorted. as long as Deck comes with a bit more energy, Ghost and Meth should be able to help with alot of the other hooks. next leak needs to be a RZA track with mad members like Windmill, that should give them enough steam to get the word out

i still got faith most of em can still spit well, just need the beats to help out the lesser verses. they need to master this track too, Math's drums are sharper than that. bad launch for this but it will b forgotten with a dope 4 mic album

If they leaked that track first, 8 Diagrams wouldn't have received so much backlash...except from Ghost & Rae of course.

Math confirms that this isn't the final version:

Last night, Wu-Tang Clan pulled a Beyonce and released their new track “Keep Watch.” The single, which follows last summer’s “Family Reunion,” officially introduces the Wu’s long-awaited album for diehard fans.

The ‘90s-esque “Keep Watch” is produced by frequent collaborator DJ Mathematics and its smooth backdrop is perfect for the lyrical darts of Method Man, Cappadonna, Inspectah Deck and GZA. According to DJ Mathematics, the version that was released last night wasn’t finalized. “It’s bittersweet,” he says. “It feels good, but at the same time the version that they put out, that’s actually the wrong version. That’s not the mixed and mastered version, so I just hit ‘em so I am trying to get that up right now so everybody can get the real feel of it. Other than that, it feels great. It was just good to work with brothers again.”


Allah Mathematics says “Keep Watch” was recorded after they completed their 20th Anniversary Tour. The track was done in the studio that brought back similar vibes of recording during their earlier albums. “We all grew up and matured but it is still a great vibe,” he says of the sessions.

Although the DJ/producer can’t speak on the involvement of Ghostface Killah and Raekwon, he does confirm that Ghost is on a few records. However, since RZA’s comments about Raekwon not fully participating in the reunion album, The Chef has kept his word and still hasn’t worked on it. “As far as Rae, he hasn’t been in the studio since he was overseas in Europe, which was last year,” he says. “Hopefully, things will work out.”

DJ Mathematics confirms that the Wu-Tang Clan album is slated for this June. He is expected to produce more records on the LP, as well as RZA who has “some heat.” “I heard some the other night, 4th Disciple had this crazy banger up there. We still working and we looking forward to releasing that in June,” he says. “Just trying to keep this hip-hop thing going, you know?”

I'm probably speaking to Rae's manager Anel later today, I'll see what I can get out of her, but ya it's sounding like it..

Rae seems like he's really gonna hold out unless he gets what he's looking for:

What’s necessary for you to invest 100% of your effort into a reunion project?

What it’s going to take? Doing things accordingly like a businessman would normally do. You know, everybody should be happy everybody should be in harmony. And nobody should have to look over their shoulder and feel like they smell a rat.You know what I mean, or whatever.

We’re at that age where we deal with each other accordingly. You tell me what it is. I’ll tell you what it is. But we sit here for the main course to make sure that we come together and make something great together. It’s bigger than the money. On top of the money it’s the hard-work and dedication that we all got to put in as a team. It can’t be no other way but that. You know, it got to be everybody moving as one. The chain gotta be moving like this—a broken chain leads to broken dreams.

Is the Wu broken right now?

Nah, it ain’t broken; everybody is just zoned out. Everybody is in they zone doing what we said we was going to do from the jump, when we came in. We eventually go our ways and do what we do and come back when it’s time, you know, and that’s what it is. Everybody is doing something in their career in a great way to try to keep it going. That’s what it’s all about. We came in as a team. And people respected that.

And people seen us—you know—you’re not going to get that kind of group ever again that’s nine members that can go Gold and Platinum. We’ve been there; we did it. We still got more things that we want to do. Of course for me, I still want to create more. I’m sure that they feel the same way. They want to do more sh*t, too. So, that’s what we’re doing right now. When we come together everything must be pure. It must be the right fertilizer on top to make sh*t grow the way it’s supposed to.

I respect that. Has the new Wu-Tang album been started?

To my knowledge, yeah. Some things was created, you know, but I’m still waiting to get more knowledge of what’s going on…Rza, he know where I’m at.

So, you’re waiting on him to reach out as opposed to reaching out to him?

We’re going to reach out to each other when we feel it’s that serious. But, you know, he’s controlling that ship right now. I’m just waiting for him to be like, ‘Yo, I’m ready to comply with what you want to do.’ You know, we got to make sh*t fair business.

Would you participate in any planned reunion shows?

All the time. I feel like when it comes to performing, you know, things of that nature it’s something that me and my brothers is always gonna do. When it comes to things pertaining to career decisions—and album-making music type sh*t and publishing and things of that nature—it’s like I have to prepare for my kids. So, that got to be straight. Everything else can be negotiated. When we’re looking at stuff that will last 30 years or 40 years ; I want to make sure that’s secured, you know. We’re doing grown-man stuff; so, at the end of the day it should be dealt with like that. It ain’t about us no more, it’s about making sure we’re putting away for them.
