The Wu is back but in a different form.

Following Wu-Tang’s disastrous 2007 reunion-album, 8 Diagrams, Ghostface, Raekwon, and Methodman, arguably the three most commercially successful and well known members of the Wu, have decided to form their own super group.

After promotional videos, rumors, and album push backs, the project entitled Wu Massacre is scheduled to be released on March 30th. The project is a return to the basic foundations of what Wu Tang is. “Our Dreams,” the lead single with a distinct Wu Tang sound that fans have been clamoring for. It samples Michael Jackson’s 1975 track “We’re Almost There,” and shouts out to the world that the bread and butter of Wu Tang is back.

Although he had his creative differences with the group on 8 Diagrams, and is not exclusively producing the project, the RZA has contributed, and is a staunch supporter.

“I think it’s a great idea…I was pushing that idea to them years ago…They are three of the most prolific voices in Wu-Tang…We’re at a period of life, if anybody from Wu-Tang needs me, I’m there for them. Everybody has grown and matured to where we don’t need each other.”

Other features on the album include beats by RZA protégé Mathematics, Wu member Inspectah Deck, and comedian Tracey Morgan.

Additionally, Meth, Ghostface, and Raekwon have set up a contest for fans to choose the name of the new group, with the winner getting credits in the album.  The album is a great thing for the return of real hip hop to the mainstream, as well as a return to the old Wu Tang sound.
