Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Hip Hop group The Wrecking Crew just released their first full-length project, Wu-Tang Pulp. The free effort by DXnext alum emcee/producer Has-Lo, emcee/producer Zilla Rocca and emcee Curly Castro is an homage to the Wu-Tang Clan, with the trio reconfiguring the production and verses to selected cuts from the ’90s icons’ catalog.
Zilla wrote of Wu-Tang Pulp, “What started as a simple idea in 2009 has formed into a completely flushed out re-imagining of the most iconic collective in Hip Hop history. Wu-Tang Pulp is an album shaped from the hearts and minds of three die-hard killa bee fanatics who spared no details in paying the ultimate homage to their heroes. Tackling records from RZA, Ghostface, Method Man, etc. is no easy task when you grew up with 36 Chambers in your Walkman, drawing the “W” on your high school composition books, and rocking Tommy Hilfiger tees in the summer because Raekwon said so.”
Last year, Doomtree member Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy gained some mainstream notoriety for his Wu-Tang Clan mash-up with band Fugazi,13 Chambers (as Wugazi).
You can stream the project below. It also available for download at the group’s Bandcamp.

it’s gta be dope… has-lo
“Homeless Swordsmen” sounds like it might be the funniest song in history, but only because of unintentional comedy. Before you get your panties in a bunch, I am in no way dissing these guys; in fact, I’m downloading the mixtape now. Now, if it’s wack, I will be back here to diss the shit out of them. I’m a certified Wu-Head, so unless they are rapping in Russian or just straight suck, it should be cool at worst.
Very good project!
This an incredibly fun project. Good work, gents.
Love Zilla’s alias Vic Sage aka The Question. It’s the attention to detail and craftsmanship in the writing and production that makes this such a great album.
Thought a few tracks could have been taken from the middle but this is a nice mixtape and a great tribute to the almighty Wu Tang Clan.
Difficult to touch on true classics but these guys did a nice job paying hommage, and is it just me or are they paying hommage to a another amazing group with their names Has-Lo and Zilla Rocca? Was thinking bout Binary Stars One be lo and Senim Silla. PZ.
This is dope. familiar with a couple cats on here. Has-lo, Castle, Gee Dubs, Al Mighty, Castro. Dudes are dope.
