RandoMax Radio Presents: Wu-Mas 2020 Mix

 

Some of you may remember a series of posts from the last holiday season which celebrated the Wu-Tang Clan in their various forms, by way of eleven special episodes of the Max-Approved Mixtape that focused exclusively on the group and their sprawling membership. Today's post is partly me taking a breather, but mostly my attempt at rekindling that spark, since longtime readers know how important the Wu is to both the site and myself, and the worst-kept secret on the blog is that this upcoming holiday season is going to feature more Wu-related product, so I figured today's a good day to start that promotional run-up.

This very special episode of the Max-Approved Mixtape is comprised of twenty fine tracks lifted from those eleven chapters, presented within a new context but still banging through and through. There are some classic fucking tracks, some lesser-known but still fantastic offerings, a couple of outside guest artists, and at least one song I've put on too many mixes already but I don't give a shit.Wu stans will likely know every one of these tracks (some much more than others), but I urge everybody that stumbles upon this mix to both give it a listen and to share it with as many people you know that would appreciate such stellar examples of our chosen genre at its best.
