The piece stated the following: āGZA, the head to Wu-Tangās Voltron has officially signed a release from his contract with Wu-Tang Productions. This leaves the status of his current album uncertain. Will it be Wu-Tang related? If so, why was the release necessary? GZA is still a part of the Wu-Tang Clan, but by ending his relationship with Wu-Tang productions, Wu collaborations may be a problem.ā
One such general of the Wu-Tang, RZA emphatically says, Not True!! In his words, āFirst and foremost the clan has not broken up. In regards to the āgroupā Wu-Tang Clanā¦thatās a life long commitment that we are branded with. The truth of the matter is certain members requested control over their solo careers.ā The article further indicated that a major shake-up was occurring, whereby Wu Officials were working to avert. Again, this was also incorrect. RZA clarifies the issue by stating that; āThe 7 year term with Wu-Tang production came to a close in 2000, some members felt that they should govern their own careers, especially after learning the āINāsā and OUTāsā of the game from myself and other Wu executives. I myself (Rza) personally gave my blessing to anyone who wanted to tackle this game their own way.ā
We at hiphopdx.com were also informed that Raekwon will also be getting a release from Wuās production. The Wu-Tang entity entered the game with only a few having knowledge of what it takes to succeed. RZA concludes by stating, āNow 10 years later we all have a strong understanding. I foresee WU being involved with running various labels managing new artist making films etcā¦The releases given to certain artist will only expand us. Nonetheless Raekwon said it best, ā9 generalsā¦with their own soldiers, working for one cause.ā Any further media information can be attained by Dreddy at Digital Recordings via email, krugerdigital@nyc.rr.com.
