Shaolin's finest are back together again on the upcoming compilation Return of the Wu & Friends, which features remixes, exclusives, and old favorites from the nine-member collective. That means every MC in the Wu-Tang Clan makes an appearance across this record's 15 tracks. Wu-Tang producer/DJ Mathematics compiled tracks for Return of the Wu that were recorded between 2000's The W through 2008, when some of these MCs were recording some flimsy solo records.

Included in the mix are new takes on tracks such as "Respect Mine" and "Clap," which are now named "Respect 2010" and "Clap 2010," respectively. Not the most creative names but at least Mathematics flipped them well. You can also find solo cuts like Method Man's "John 3:16" and Raekwon's "Treez." While I'm personally not a huge fan of compilations like this one, at least this isn't merely a money-grabbing "best of" disc.

You can stream "Clap 2010" at 2DopeBoyz.
