The Wu-Tang Clan To Record Tribute For Ol' Dirty Bastard

The Wu-Tang Clan have decided to regroup to record a tribute to the recently deceased Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

ODB died in November after collapsing in a Manhattan recording studio, autopsy reports showed that he had accidentally overdosed on cocaine and prescription pain killers. He had a history of drug addiction.

The tribute track will be titled ‘I Go Through Life’, reports Billboard, and will feature on ODB’s album which he had been recording material for before he died, the album will be a joint venture between RZA's Wu-Tang Records imprint and the new Damon Dash Music Group.

"Every member is on it so far, besides Ghostface Killah," RZA said.

"Method Man was the first guy to do his verse. Raekwon and GZA did their verses pronto. I had to take some time with U-God. Cappadonna is on it also. All I need is my Ghostface verse and it will be one of the first recordings in three or four years with every member again."

"This is a gift to ODB and the fans, so the fans can feel our love. Everybody's got something to say about it. Raekwon had one line like, 'One day I'll put a statue in my house to resemble you / so my son can resemble you.' I haven't played it for too many people, me and Quentin (Tarantino) were hanging out a couple weeks ago. He came by my studio and I played it for him, and he said he caught a chill."

The night ODB died RZA spoke to him; they were talking about "getting things back on track and clearing away all the things on the table. We wanted to focus on the Wu legacy plan we had. He was getting things together, but there were still some crinkles he needed to iron out. It was really one of the first times he saw it. He agreed with almost everything I was saying. I was glad. I was happy."
