Episode forty-two of this limited Wu-Wednesdays series shifts the focus, once again, to the Wu-Tang Clan’s B-team. However, this time around I don’t simply mean “every affiliate that isn’t in the proper group.” No, this time we’re dealing with a tiered system, folks, which begs the question: what qualifies someone to be on the team that is thisclose to joining the big league? Considering this is still my blog, I chose to go with my own personal definition, which includes acts who were either spun off from the crew early enough that they shared space with the Clan while the latter was at their peak, or individual artists who have worked alongside various Clan members in a similar way. For those of you who hate math, this means I consider Killarmy, Sunz of Man, Black Knights, and North Star, and every member wherein (lucky day for the Dom Pachinos of the world, I guess) to be B-tier, along with solo artists Streetlife and Trife Diesel, both of whom have done stellar work alongside actual real-life group members. This means that everyone else is, well, not on the B-team.
Yeah, I thought you two would be happy with that outcome.
There are forty-one previous episodes of the Wu-Wednesdays side project, but only the most recent are available on the Mixcloud site. The rest, or at least the songs featured wherein, live on at the RandoMax Radio Spotify channel, with tracks (whatever’s available, anyway – some are easier to find than others) being added to the playlist as they get taken down elsewhere. Give it a look when you get a chance and tell anybody you know who may enjoy something like this – I appreciate every little bit of support you can offer.
Enjoy!
