The highly anticipated album, produced by Mathematics, features all nine Wu-Tang Clan members and is limited to 5,000 copies globally
36 Chambers has announced the upcoming release of the highly anticipated album, Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman from the “Wu-Tang the Saga Continues…” collection. Produced by the multi-talented Mathematics, and with performances from all nine Wu-Tang Clan members and other top artists including Kool G. Rap, Nicole Bus, Benny the Butcher, and many more, the album offers fans a journey through bold, cinematic soundscapes paired with the unmistakably gritty vibe and expert lyricism for which Wu-Tang is known. This release marks the group’s first LP since the original album in the “Wu-Tang The Saga Continues” collection in 2017 and the first to feature all nine members since 2014.
To commemorate the new album, 36 Chambers and Ruffnation Entertainment have teamed up with Macroverse for a limited edition Record Store Day release of Black Samson, the Bastard Swordsman as an exclusive, audiophile-grade 2 LP vinyl album. This limited edition is the first album to feature Macroverse’s innovative Mixprint technology, resulting in 5,000 unique, “1-of-1” album jackets that merge artistry, storytelling, and collectability.
Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman will be available exclusively at participating Record Store Day retailers on April 12th, with only 5,000 copies produced. This rare first-of-its-kind collectible piece of art is expected to be a must-have for Wu-Tang fans, lovers of hip-hop, vinyl enthusiasts, and art collectors alike. The full LP will also be available for digital purchase in April.
“Wu-Tang has always been about pushing boundaries—musically, artistically, and culturally. With Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman, I’m giving fans not just an album, but a piece of history—something truly one of a kind,” states Mathematics. “This is more than music; it’s innovation, storytelling, and legacy all in one. I am excited for everyone to hear the music and see the artwork around this album.”
“Mathematics adds another chamber to the saga collection, following his last solid outing….proud of him, ” adds Method Man “This one looks to be another banger for the history books!!”
