Diamond District “PJ’s Remix” (Wu-Tang /El Michels Affair) (Video & MP3)

Last spring, El Michel’s Affair released Enter the 37th Chamber, a funky soul covers album of some of the Wu-Tang Clan’s fiercest cuts.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be debuting tracks featuring Del The Funky Homosapien, Mr. Lif and Akrobatik, but to start things off, here’s Diamond District (Oddisee, X.O. & YU) on a beat that EMA originally laced for Raekwon.

New Dirty Bastard! (MP3)

Next week, Message To The Other Side- Osirus Part 1, will mark the return of ODB via 21 tracks produced by Wu-stalwarts and affiliates.  The project (presumably the first of a few) also comes with a 20-minute DVD.

For now, here’s a somewhat ironic first track that just leaked:  “Say No”, where ODB is telling kids to stay away from drugs. Wu IS kid friendly!

Listen to “Say No” by ODB off Message To The Other Side- Osirus Part 1, in stores November 17th.
