The Twelve Days of Wu-Mas 2025 - Day #4

In 2021, rapper Killah Priest and mostly producer, sometime rapper True Master joined forces for Divine Intervention, a full-length collaborative project that you'd think they would have done at least twenty years prior, given how long both artists have been a part of the Wu-Tang Clan's story. Priest has obviously been around since the very beginning, helping form what would become Sunz of Man, one of the first spinoffs from the main narrative, before going solo and continuing an off-again, on-again relationship with both the Wu and its various members, all while slowly becoming one of the most prolific affiliates in the group's shared history, while True Master has hung around the same length of time, kicking off his career as a part of the late Guru's Gang Starr Foundation before finding a path with the Clan.

Divine Intervention is comprised of ten guest-free tracks fully produced by, and occasionally featuring, True Master. With that Powerpoint looking-ass album cover setting up proper expectations, Killah Priest spends the duration of the project doing things as he's always done, audience be damned, his quasi-religious hyperbabble sharing equal time with his pointed observations of street life and his gift of storytelling, usually to the detriment of "conventional songwriting practices" and "general rules of what makes a song work". In short, you're either exactly the type of Wu stan who would seek this out, or you'd avoid it at all costs, there is no middle ground, and Priest couldn't give a shit either way, which is at least sort of commendable.
