WU-TANG CLAN CONFIRM NEW ALBUM

Hip-hop collective WU-TANG CLAN are working on their first album since the death of founder member OL' DIRTY BASTARD in 2004.

RZA of theWu-Tang Clan

The GRAVEL PIT group - featuring RZA, GZA, METHOD MAN, RAEKWON THE CHEF, GHOSTFACE KILLA, INSPEKTAH DECK, MASTA KILLA and U-GOD - have reteamed with former Loud Records owner STEVE RIFKIND for 8 DIAGRAMS.

RZA tells AllHipHop.com, "It's like when we first started with Steve. We put out real hip-hop at a time when it was turning into pop or R+B. We brought the focus back to the music in its rawest form, without studio polish or radio hooks.

"People want something that gives them an adrenaline rush. We're here to supply that fix. How could hip-hop be dead if Wu-Tang is forever? We're here to revive the spirit and the economics and bring in a wave of energy that has lately dissipated."

8 DIAGRAMS is set to be released this summer (07) and will feature a previously unreleased performance by Ol' Dirty Bastard and a tribute to the rapper from his former bandmates.
