'Wu-Tang Clan'

Almost 20 years since their inauguration into the hip hop scene with their debut album 'Enter the wu-tang: 36 Chambers,' all 8 living members of the legendary 'Wu-Tang Clan' have reunited on the group's first collective studio album in nearly six years: 'A Better Tomorrow.'

It has recently been announced in a UK press release that the latest album from the east coast rappers, RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa, will drop in July of 2013. The press release also revealed a few July tour dates when the "greatest hip hop group of all time" will perform in the UK, reports Pitchfork.

The Clan's performance at Coachella 2013 this Sunday night (4/14) marks the group's first stop on their "short tour" that will hit the road this summer (see all announced TOUR DATES below). The tour will feature "all living members from the influential group performing on stage together," states the release, as 'Wu Tang Clan' celebrates their 20th anniversary this year.

Last fall, wu-tang Clan's "de facto leader" RZA (Robert Diggs) hinted at the possibility of a reunion when he told New York Times last fall that the group "could give the world one more record, maybe."

"There's one last job wu-tang clan must do," RZA said. "The 20th anniversary [of Enter the wu-tang (36 Chambers)] is next year. And we need to, one time, completely, efficiently, properly represent our brand." In order for that to happen, he said he needed permission to fully take the reins and stressed that this time around, the group needs to be "on time for press and for concerts and studio."

"I already got some heat put together for the boys," he continued. "This is our 20th anniversary, so it's not only for us, I think it's especially for the hip-hop fans out there and for the people that supported the culture and what we do. It's not a lot of us that can say '20 years.'"

The last album that wu-tang put out was 8 Diagrams in 2007, reports Spin, which was supposed to be their final album.

According to Hiphop-N-More, their forthcoming album, "A Better Tomorrow" title is named after the song of the same name on the "Wu-Tang Forever" LP that was released in 1997.

The late "Ol' Dirty Bastard," aka Russell Jones, was the ninth member of 'Wu-Tang Clan' and an original founder, but the rapper reportedly died of a heart attack back in November 2004.

Ghostface Killah Is a New York Times Crossword Puzzle Answer

New York Times crossword puzzle devotees got hit in the head with Ghostface Killah this morning as the wu-tang Clan member's name was used in the New York Times crossword puzzle!

New York Times crossword puzzle devotees got hit in the head with Ghostface Killah this morning as the Wu-Tang Clan member's name was used in the New York Times crossword puzzle! The clue was "Rapper who came to prominence as a member of the wu-tang Clan," and there were so many boxes that you could fit most of the rest of the Clan in there (RZA, GZA, U-God, ODB).

The puzzle, written by Brown University junior Guy Tabachnick, was scrutinzed by Rex Parker, a popular crossword puzzle blogger, who thinks that older people won't understand the clue: "I do, however, feel for the tens of thousands of regular crossword solvers who will never have heard of Ghostface Killah. That's a lot of grid territory to concede to someone who is gonna be virtually unknown to (I'm just guessing here) *most* crossword solvers over 50. Just a guess. I'll be thrilled to be wrong. I've been on the other side of this musical / pop cultural equation, and it's not always pleasant. I hope that at least the sheer wackiness of the guy's name brings you at least some measure of happiness."

Old people aren't the only ones caught on the other side of a "musical / pop cultural equation." This kid, who appeared on Teen Jeopardy on May 3, just became a footnote in the musical ignorance history books.
