36 Chambers ALC releases the soundtrack for Blumhouse Productions (Get Out, Insidious) new slasher, “Thriller“, directed by Dallas Jackson, and co-starring RZA. Taking a page out from Shaolin Land, the 14 track body of work gives spooky wordplay and classic production thrills comprised of Wu-Tang brothers RZA, Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna, as well as rising artists Earth, Hue Hef, Ol Dirty Bastard’s son YDB, the Hoodies and more. RZA executive produced the jam-packed soundtrack and also includes his latest original score which sets the mood for the film.
Thriller follows the story of an introverted young man named Chauncey Page (Jason Woods) who is sent to juvenile hall after he accidentally kills a member of a group of bullies that play a cruel prank on him. Years later he is released and back for revenge — and blood — to serve some murderous karma to the group, now in high school. Dressed in a hoodie and a menacing glare, he terrorizes them and picks them off one by one. It stars Mykelti Williamson (Forrest Gump), rapper-actor RZA, as well as a roster of up-and-comers including Jessica Allain (Mission Impossible 5), Luke Tennie (Shock and Awe), Tequan Richmond (Ray), Paige Hurd (A Girl Like Grace), Chelsea Rendon (Bright), Mitchell Edwards (The First Purge), Pepi Sonuga (Famous in Love), Jason Woods (Proven Innocent), Maestro Harrell (The Wire), and Michael Ocampo (Shooter). | Source: 18Thirty2

Yesterday (Dec. 5), in commemoration of their conquering 1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the Wu-Tang Clan got together to perform a native influenced long-winded session of Wu hits on NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series. Together, Raekwon, RZA, GZA, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, U-God, Cappadonna, alongside the son of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Young Dirty Bastard, fed onlookers with a wealth of musical wisdom than obtains 25 years of brilliance.
Starting off with a top-notch classic, “Triumph” which arguably accommodates one of the greatest verses in hip-hop history, Inspectah Deck spewed the famed moment, preceding into their early mantraesque hits from “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta Fuck Wit” to “Method Man.” Touching base on their iconic solo still-Wu gems, the concert flew into tracks in the likes of Raekwon’s “Glaciers of Ice”, Method Man’s “Bring the Pain,” Ghostface Killah’s “Run” and ultimately sealed the show with the affectionately received “C.R.E.A.M.”
While both Method Man and Ghostface Killah were not present, the group successfully managed to set forth a nostalgic performance which was reminiscent to the traditional rap cypher their gritty craft tends to reflect. Young Dirty Bastard appears to be on a role with the undertaking of his late father’s eccentric vigor, as he is seen portraying Ol’ Dirty Bastard segments in modern-day performances.
With the help of strings of The Green Project, RZA dropped a “dart” where he accumulates his Wu experience in live time.
“I used to be a metaphor whore/I would search through the core of my brain to find a metaphor better than yours/But now I’m a spiritual lyricist mystic/And I realize Hip-Hop has a sickness/So I’m going to cure the sickness without a pill/That’s better than me saying dollar dollar bill…”
Last month the super group’s debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) reached a new milestone of 25 years since its iconic release. In extended honor of the 25th anniversary of 36 Chambers, the clan will hold two respective east coast celebrations in Philly and New York. Watch the clan swarm through their “Wu Classics” playlist with Tiny Desk, here.
