RZA avslöjade på sensommaren att Wu-Tang Clan släpper nytt album i oktober, där producenten och DJ:n Mathematics står för produktionerna. Alla klanmedlemmar medverkar på skivan förutom GZA/Genius. Första singeln från skivan var “People Say” med gästande Redman och vi hör även verser av Chris Rivers, Killah Priest, Sean Price (RIP) med flera på skivan. I ett uttalande sade RZA:

“For years, Math has had the idea of putting together a body of music using modern and legendary equipment such as ASR10 with vocal performances by Wu-Tang Clan members and other prominent MCs. With The Saga Continues he’s created a masterpiece. We at 36 Chambers ALC are honored to work with Mathematics and Wu-Tang Clan to put out a great piece of art.”

I en intervju på Hot 97 bekräftar RZA nu att även Ol Dirty Bastard (som avled 2004) kommer kunna höras på det kommande albumet och citeras i en intervju:

“The cool thing on the new record Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues…Allah Math was able to dig into some of our files and pull out some Ol’ Dirty speaking, verses, energy. This is a spoiler alert for those who are going to get the album, but ODB said something on this record that’s really important for today. He says ‘I want y’all to listen to me. Everybody listen. Listen to me. And, when I say this, you’re going to know that you heard it here. What they’re going to try to do. They’re going to try to pit Blacks against Whites, but it ain’t gonna work because we all having a good time in this.’”

Masta Killa förklarade även att ODB:s närvaro saknas i klanen:

“He will always be greatly missed. His element is just irreplaceable. It can never be replaced–music and his stage presence…”

Albumet “Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues” produceras av Mathematics och släpps idag 13:e oktober, via etiketten 36 Chambers ALC. Lyssna nedan och se musikvideon till “People Say”.
