The 12 Days of Wu-Mas #3: Sunz of Man Presents 60 Second Assassin - Remarkable Timing (June 22, 2010)

Way, way back in the early 1990’s, the rap crew Sunz of Man, the most popular iteration of which included the artists Killah Priest, Hell Razah, Prodigal Sunn, and the late-game addition 60 Second Assassin, became the first Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated crew to sign a deal with a record label. At the time, their rankings also included Shabazz the Disciple (who left the group but then returned), 7th Ambassador (who has since vanished from the rap game as far as I can tell), and producer Su-Preme, but when the time came for the Sunz to finally release their 1998 debut, The Last Shall Be First (after an aborted first attempt entitled Nothing New Under the Sun), the collective were trimmed down to the above-named quartet.

As is what tends to happen in the rap world, especially with groups affiliated with the Wu-Tang Clan, the various Sunz of Man members eventually longed for solo careers. The singer-slash-rapper 60 Second Assassin was the last of the four to manage this feat, releasing what is to date his lone solo effort, Remarkable Timing, under the Sunz of Man banner in 2010.

Which is weird, because I don’t remember clamoring for this to happen. Did you?
