Masta Killa Wu-Tang: The Next Chamber

Rather than present listeners with a free, last-minute mixtape before his forthcoming proper album, Wu-Tang affiliate Masta Killa has instead put together a collection of exclusive and rare cuts as a precursor to Loyalty Is Royalty. Wu-Tang: The Next Chamber, which is a digital-only release, features “a lot of hidden gems” that Killa said he didn't know the world was ready for. The 14 tracks on here feature appearances from a slew of his Wu brethren, from RZA to Killah Priest to Ol' Dirty Bastard, along with outsiders such as Pete Rock and R.A. The Rugged Man. The iTunes purchase of the album comes with five videos featuring live performances and interviews by Shaolin crew.
