WU TANG CLAN TO TOUR IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM

Wu-Tang Clan moving forward with album and tour plans despite internal strife.

The Wu-Tang Clan will release their new album, 8 Diagrams, on December 11th despite a lot of internal strife between group members and RZA. Group member Raekwon told New York’s WQHT-FM that he felt he was being taken advantage of and that he’d like to do a Wu-Tang Clan album without RZA in the future.

RZA shared that he was pleased with how the rappers stepped up in the new film. He said,
