MASTA KILLA of the WU-TANG
CLAN awaits the release of his solo-debut
NEW
YORK, NY - July 12, 2003 -After spending the better part of
5 years in the studio, Masta Killa's meticulously crafted solo-debut,
"NO SAID DATE", promises to bring the Wu movement
forward into 2003 and beyond.
After
making appearances on other Wu-Tang Clan members' albums as
well as Afu-Ra, Bounty Killer and Public Enemy, Masta Killa
was ready for a solo effort. Not only is "NO SAID DATE"
Masta Killa's 'first' ever-solo debut, it is also the first
Wu solo release by a Clan member to stay entirely in-house for
production in quite sometime. Having been handled exclusively
by RZA, TRUE MASTER & ALLAH MATHAMATICS, "NO SAID DATE"
is being independently unveiled on Masta Killa's newly formed
LITTLE SHOES MUSIC/NATURE SOUNDS imprint in thefall of 2003.
The
most quiet and mysterious Wu-Tang member, Masta Killa rarely
speaks during public appearances and interviews and very little
is known about him. "I know I seem serious and quiet to
a lot of the fans, that's because I take my work seriously,
it's not a game. The Clan and I work hard to give you the best",
says Masta Killa.
While
"NO SAID DATE" will finally shed light on the Wu's
most-slept on chamber, it will also feature appearances from
fellow Clansmen - METHOD MAN, GZA, GHOSTFACE, INSPECTAH DECK,
O.D.B. and RAEKWON, as well as a contribution from reggae legend
JUNIOR REID. In addition, "NO SAID DATE" will include
a limited addition LIVE CD featuring Masta Killa performing
songs from the album as well as past Wu classics.
Having
been released less than 3 weeks ago, the first single, "DIGI
WARFARE", which also includes the B-Side RZA produced title-track,"NO
SAID DATE" has already received tremendous national media
acclaim.
With
November 2003 marking the 10 year anniversary of the birth of
the Wu-Tang Dynasty, Wu fans can expect the release of a special
collector's edition double disc CD box set. In addition to the
CD, an enclosed DVD will include Wu-Tang's all time classics,
new and unreleased exclusive material, as well as rare remixes.
Masta
Killa's contributing efforts will be clearly visible in the
specialanniversary cd set, which shall immediately follow the
fall release of his solo project,"NO SAID DATE", Keeping
Wu fans happy well into next year.

Good
news for Australian Wu fans. The previously postponed concert
has now been rescheduled for August (the 15th seems to be the
likely starting date). I guess this also means that concerts
in Asia will also go ahead as planned. However the line-up looks
to have been cut down a bit, with only RZA, Beretta 9, Cilvaringz,
Moongod Allah and Origin touring. Earlier concerts also listed
ShoGun Assason and Masta Killa.
Wigs from Othorized
F.A.M. has made a short documentary featuring Ghostface Killah.
It's called "Big Wigs" and is about white rappers
who are trying to make a living in a predominantly black genre.
The film runs for 27 minutes and you can download from this
link. There's a section on the right of the screen called
"Short Film". Make sure you click on the right image

Hop Channel.
"The Book
of Shabazz": Hidden Scrolls" Does the name sound familiar?
It does to me because I send cash for the thing years ago. Well
it looks like the CD is finally going to see the light of day.
