The Twelve Days of Wu-Mas 2022 - Day #11

After a nineteen-year absence, not counting a mixtape released in 2010 that promised an altogether different third album that never came to be, Ross "Remedy" Fuller finally released a new project in 2021. Titled Remedy Meets Wu-Tang, it was the culmination of everything the man had been working toward his entire career, as it finally offers the man the one thing he had been demanding since his debut in the music industry: for the Wu-Tang Clan to treat him as a peer. You may not have gotten that message from the provocative album artwork, which could be read a number of different ways, each more problematic than the last, but rest assured Remedy was just as much about his Wu-Tang affiliation in 2021 as he was when he popped up on that Killa Bees compilation The Swarm way back in the day.

One thing Remedy Meets Wu-Tang has over all of the man's other work is, in fact, the actual Wu-Tang Clan, as the majority of the group makes at least one cameo appearance on here, and the folks that don't appear are mostly members who aren't very active these days to begin with (the exception being Raekwon, whose absence is noticeable considering just how often Ghostface Killah pops in). Other Wu-affiliates appear as well, along with, of all the rappers in the world, Conway the Machine, who continues to build his ties with the Clan by destroying any beat he appears on with them. The exciting guest list paired with the solid production throughout is why Remedy Meets Wu-Tang is, as I wrote last year, "the best Wu-affiliated project in recent memory".
