Ghostface Killah and RZA trade ferocious bars on a new song “On That Sht Again,” which will appear on a new EP to accompany the four-part Showtime docuseries about the Wu-Tang Clan, Of Mics and Men.
“On That Sht Again” boasts a classic Wu-Tang-style beat, with piano and string loops striking against the steady thump of a dusty drum groove. Both Ghostface and RZA are in fine form lyrically, with the former spitting bars about his Benetton pajamas and dropping characteristically ridiculous couplets like, “Should’ve been Italian how I’m getting that parmesan/Talking about the ones you keep putting those commas on.”
Meanwhile, RZA opens his verse with ruthless precision, spitting, “Telekinesis, simple instrumental thesis/I could hop on a track, relax, then remain speechless,” before cleverly cutting the beat out briefly.
“On That Sht Again” is one of seven tracks that will appear on the Of Mics and Men EP, out May 17th. Along with several new songs featuring Wu-Tang members Raekwon, Masta Killa and Cappadonna, the project includes skits featuring never-before-heard Wu-Tang stories from footage that didn’t make the final cut of the documentary.
Wu-Tang Clan are in the middle of a world tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). The group will launch their North American leg May 31st at Freedom Hill Amphitheater in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
