FrankRadio and iHipHop Distribution are proud to announce the highly
anticipated follow-up to 2005's "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 1"
On November 10th, the newest and freshest sounds in underground electronic
music encounter the grimiest and most hardcore hip-hop click in this one-of-a-
kind album: "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep."
As Vol. 1 sought to introduce hip-hop fans in general, and specifically, the
famously large, loyal and diverse fan-base of the Wu-Tang to the burgeoning
world of underground hip-hop, so Vol. 2 seeks to expose another untapped
resource of underground talent, skill and artistry to this very same avid and
intrepid fan-base.
The project serves a double purpose as well: many of the pioneers and
practitioners (DJ's and producers) in the Dubstep world came up in a time when
Wu-Tang ruled the international airwaves. Unlike much commercial hip-hop, the
immediacy of Wu-Tang's sound spoke to many outside of the scope of the typical
hip-hop fan, across oceans and at home. Their music and style helped to shape
an emerging artform that hadn't yet defined itself. Now, in 2009, as dubstep
continues to grow, expand and encompass more styles and subgenres, the Wu-
Tang sound is reintroduced into the mix, to spawn a new and unique musical
crossbreeding, that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.
This groundbreaking album is trail-blazing the collaboration between Dubstep
and Hip-Hop, with stomach-pounding, bass-thumping guttural beats, and gully,
gritty and grimy lyrics that break into the next decade in the chapters of each
respective genre's history. With Scuba, Parson, Trillbass, Dakimh, DZ, Rogue
Star, Stenchman, Datsik & many more producing not remixes, but complex re-
interpollations that include a veritable goldmine of Wu-Tang verses from the
vaults that feature Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, RZA, GZA, Method Man, U-God &
Masta Killa, Wu affiliates Killah Priest, Bronze Nazareth, Prodigal Sunn,
Solomon Childs, Son One & more, and guest spots from Busta Rhymes, MF
Doom, Pimp C, Three 6 Mafia, Ras Kass, Vast Aire, Canibus, Lord Jamar &
many more, this one of a kind compilation is at the forefront of an emerging
cultural and musical blend that is taking place on the margins of the mainstream,
but will be talked about for years to come....
