Wu-Tang Clan member Masta Killa will on Aug. 8 issue his sophomore album, “Made in Brooklyn,” via Nature Sounds. The set features appearances from the entire Wu-Tang Clan, including RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and Method Man. MF Doom, Pete Rock and PF Cuttin are among the album’s producers.
“It’s basically the same formula as [my first album] ‘No Said Date’ but with more of a Brooklyn swagger,” says Masta Killa. “It’s a piece of me, where I come from and a dedication to the MCs, producers and the people from the neighborhood.”
Masta Killa first appeared on Wu-Tang’s 1993 debut “Enter The 36 Chambers.” He has been featured on each of the group’s albums, as well solo efforts by Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and GZA.
Wu-Tang will regroup for a host of live dates later this summer as part of the Tribute to ODB tour, beginning Aug. 3 in Phoenix. An Aug. 17-18 stand at New York’s Webster Hall is also on tap.
