Just one or two tidbits to report. Regarding the Wu tour of Australia next month, the webpage at http://www.agentmad.com.au/news.php has listed Masta Killa as one of the performing artists now.

Out of pure boredom I was searching Amazon's Japan site and stumbled upon this album (supposedly an "import"):

Seems to be official but there's nothing new on it. The tracklisting goes:

1. Hip Hop Drunkies - Tha Alkaholiks feat. Ol' Dirty Bastard
2. Black Trump - Cocoa Brovaz feat. Raekwon
3. Wu-Tang Clan Live Freestyle - GZA and Masta Killa
4. In Trouble - Shyheim
5. Rumble - U-God feat. Leatha Face, Inspectah Deck & Method
6. Only 4 My Niggass - Black Knights
7. Concrete Jungle - Sunz of Man
8. Re-up - Two On Da Road feat. Shyheim
9. Furious Anger - Shyheim feat. Big L
10. Pointin' Fingers - Myalansky & Joe Mafia
11. Never Again - Remedy
12. '97 Mentality - Cappadonna feat. Ghostface Killah
13. And Justice For All - Bobby Digital feat. Killarmy & Method Man
14. Execute Them - Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, Streetlife, Masta Killa
15. On The Strength - The Beggaz

Finally, here's a submitted review for Master Fool's album "Brownsville Kid". I took the "necessary" liberty of correcting only "some" of the grammer...

Albums: The World According To RZA (front + back covers) - If anyone has other "non-UK" or "non-German" releases of this LP, please email me the tracklisting.

Albums: Shaolin's Finest (front + back covers, ammended tracklisting) - this album has only 12 tracks instead of the 15 previously announced. Only reason for buying: the video remix of "All That I Got Is You" featuring Tekitha.

3 May, 2003
Albums: The World According To RZA (addition)

After an eternity of waiting, the Wu will finally tour Australia. The current line-up will see RZA, Cilvaringz, Beretta 9 and ShoGun Assason hit the southern shores. Alongside them will be Moongod Allah, DJ Sueside and "possibly" Origin. All interested Australians should keep this page bookmarked http://www.agentmad.com.au/news.php.

The tour will commence late June.
