Info on Wu-Block from Sheek Louch and Ghostface
Apparently, the Wu-Block album from sheek louch and ghostface collaborating with other rappers from each individual's rap group (wu tang and d-block) was meant to drop Feb, but this is April. The latest news from it is that it would drop this summer. The album concept came about in 2010 when Ghostface and Sheek Louch were touring together, promoting their albums. They started recording tracks on the tour bus, and decided to do a full length album with selected artist from each's camp. Check out what Sheek and Styles had to say about the album some months ago-
The two groups tell XXLMag.com they have locking in on the project for some time now.
“Me and Ghost doing this Wu-Block album,” Sheek told XXL. “It’s focused on me and Ghost but we got everybody on that muthafucka. Styles, Jada; we got everybody from RZA, to Rae to Meth, to my team.”
“Sheek and Ghost are spearheading that joint,” Styles added. “Everybody is playing their part. I’m having fun on this one. I’m just a soldier riding out on this one. We got a few joints [so far] and they knocking.
“It’s wonderful,” Styles continued. “As a MC, it’s like ‘I’m fucking working with this nigga? This nigga is somebody I listened to in my headphones while I was making my music, and recited his verses. This is a fellow MC. Even if you ain’t with somebody in your crew, as a MC, you share the love of words, the love of word play and the art of MCing. It’s always a pleasure to work with a Ghostface or Raekown. Those are two people I played. Those are people that I can say as a music head, those are two people I go to when I need to hear something.”
Sheek and Ghost got together in late 2010 while on the road promoting their respective LPs, Donnie G: Don Gorilla and Apollo Kids for Def Jam. “We did a tour together, me and Ghost,” Sheek explained. “After that, we decided to come back [and make an album]. Ghost tours a lot, so it was me saying ‘Come back, we’ll record.’ I would say we’ve been going strong for four months. We actually want it to come out in February. Its hip-hop for real. Me and him got the chicks too, but [the album is] real hip-hop. We trying to get 17 [tracks] done, but monsters. This shit is monstrous. It’s on and poppin’.” —Shaheem Reid
And below is what Ghostface had to say about it mid last year-
"Right now, I'm doing this Wu-Block project [featuring] me and D-Block," Ghost noted. "Me, Raekwon, Cappa[dona] with Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and Styles P. We going to put that together. February, [it] should be in the streets, we're going to start releasing some songs."
Sheek used twitter to drop Barry, the first track single off the album a couple of months back. And he dropped another 2 days ago titled Shrooms, featuring styles p...and of cos ghostface on it. From what i have heard so far, it is going to be some real hip hop on the album.
