Great news! Wu-Tang Clan is releasing a new album called ‘Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman’ on Record Store Day 2025!
You haven’t heard a new full-length from Wu-Tang Clan since ’17s The Saga Continues. That changes on April 12 – but good luck getting ahold of the Clan’s new album – only 5000 copies will be printed.
Wu-Tang reunites with producer Mathematics for the record, he’s been associated with the band since their earliest days. The album itself has contributions from all nine surviving Wu-Tang members, as well as Kool G Rap, Kurupt and Benny The Butcher.
The album is credited to ‘Wu-Tang and Mathematics’, and the producer has said, “Wu-Tang has always been about pushing boundaries – musically, artistically, and culturally. With ‘Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman’, I’m giving fans not just an album, but a piece of history – something truly one of a kind.”
“This is more than music; it’s innovation, storytelling, and legacy all in one. I am excited for everyone to hear the music and see the artwork around this album.”
