The good news for Wu Tang Clan fans is that the group will release 2 albums in 2014. The first is their 20th anniversary disc entitled A Better Tomorrow. The second project is a special double disc called The Wu - Once Upon A Time In Shaolin.
The bad news is that only one lucky, and very rich Wu Tang Clan fan will own a copy of Once Upon A Time. The album was recorded in secret and will come in an engraved silver-and-nickel box.
Like a fine piece of art, the album will tour the world in exhibits, galleries and possibly music festivals. The cost to attend a listening session at one of the stops will cost between $30-$50. Those in attendance will have to go through a screening process to ensure no recording devices are smuggled in. They will also be required to listen to the entire project on headphones provided by the venue.
“One leak of this thing nullifies the entire concept," the album’s main producer, Tarik “Cilvaringz” Azzougarh, told Forbes.
Once the tour is finished the album will be sold. The cost will be "in the millions," according to Forbes.
“We’re about to sell an album like nobody else sold it before,” RZA told Forbes. “We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of [modern] music. We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king.”
Talk about bad timing. Chief Keef posted several photos of guns and cash on his Instagram account several days ago. On Wednesday morning, March 26, the rapper was present when a man was shot at the Northfield, Illinois home of his manager.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is listed in critical condition
Chicago TV station WGN is reporting that a man called them to say Keef shot him, but the rapper is not believed to be involved.
Keef's lawyer told TMZ that his client, real name Keith Cozart, was present when the victim was shot, but wasn't the shooter.
This story is still developing. We'll it as more information becomes available. Meanwhile take a look at the photos Keef posted on his IG account.

Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

As a raging 5-alarm fire engulfed a Houston apartment complex on Tuesday, March 25, one construction worker was stuck on the top floor of the 5-story building. As the unidentified man stood on a balcony, flames were getting closer. He made the decision to drop down to the balcony below him.
A ladder truck moved quickly to get in position to save him. HFD Senior Captain Hawthorne was at the top of the ladder and was able to make a dramatic rescue. What happened next showed just how close this was to becoming a disaster as the roof collapsed just seconds after the ladder truck pulled away from the building.
"You just try and get to him," said Hawthorne. "And then, you don't want him to jump too soon. He waited until we got the ladder truck close enough. He just said, 'Thank you Jesus.' He was ecstatic."
The rescue was filmed from a neighboring building by Karen Jones.
"When we saw his foot slip, it was just like uhhh, oh God he's going to fall. We thought he was going to be gone," Jones said. "I hope that wherever he is, he's thanking God that he made it off there, and he's home with his family now."
Firefighters are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
