The Twelve Days of Wu-Mas 2023 - Day #3

 

 

Some of the better byproducts of The Twelve Days of Wu-Mas are the various mix show-slash-podcast episodes that have run as a part of the celebration, each one dedicated to the art of the Wu-Tang Clan and their extended family by showcasing songs that comprise their greatest hits and some unsung heroes. Even if the proper Clan members have slowed their output significantly (I'm still waiting for all nine hundred and three projects Ghostface Killah promised us during that one Verzuz), the mere existence of the myriad Wu b-teamers in the industry all but guarantees that the brand will never actually peter out. So as a way to share some of the many many parts of the Wu's legacy, I present to you the first of several supersized, twenty track episodes of the Wu-Mas mix series, all newly compiled for 2023. I truly believe that you two will dig a lot of this, even if you hadn't given the tracks or artists a second thought until now. It's okay, I won't judge.

The tracklist for the first overstuffed Max-Approved Wu Mixtape of the season appears below the embedded player, so get to pressing 'play' and bear witness to some damn fine Wu-Tang Clan tracks that you likely hadn't heard of before.
