RZA reveals that Wu-Tang Clan’s anniversary album, A Better Tomorrow, is set to be released with an additional surprise for fans.
RZA tells Billboard that the anticipated anniversary album will be released on Black Friday, November 28. Fans can either buy the hard copy or wait for the boombox edition. In addition to the traditional releases, the group will also drop a limited Wu-edition Boombot Rex speaker.
The limited speakers will only be sold at Zumiez, and will come loaded with eight songs from the album, in addition to the exclusive track “Big Horn B” and two instrumentals, which won’t be available on the actual album. Fans should act fast if they want the speaker because only 3,000 of them will be made.
“The full-length album should be available by Black Friday. It’s a record to me that merges the way music was made in the classic essence, in an analog way,” RZA explained. “As well as merging what’s going down the digital way. All the entire 10 Clan members are on it.”
“All the [living] members, which is a beautiful thing,” he added. “And the album has a small concept in a sense, musically it travels from a guy who is going through difficulties, tries to find himself, gets involved with some violence, some troubles, but then realizes that it’s best sometimes to walk away from the past and all the bad times and maybe work on making his life better, and making a better tomorrow.”
