The group has announced their long-awaited reunion album, Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman: From the Wu-Tang, the Saga Continues Collection, set to drop on Record Store Day (April 12). Produced entirely by Mathematics, the 12-track LP continues the Wu\u2019s signature sound but notably lacks RZA\u2019s production. Mathematics, who also helmed 2017\u2019s The Saga Continues, describes the album as a tribute to Blaxploitation films and classic kung-fu flicks. The album features all living Wu-Tang members, along with guest appearances from Kurupt, Kool G Rap, Benny The Butcher, 38 Spesh, and KXNG Crooked. Method Man praised Mathematics&#8217; work, calling it \u201canother banger for the history books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the tracklist below.<\/p>\n<p>Wu-Tang Clan \u2014 Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman (Tracklist):<\/p>\n<p>1.
