Ghostface Killah - Ghostface Killahs (2019)

In the 21th contury Ghostface Killah has probably been the most reliable and consistent member of the Wu-Tang, and Ghostface Killahs, if it's for sure not the best thing he did, even solo (the collaboration with Badbadnotgood for exemple was better), is still an enjoyable old school hip-hop album, with a few really good tracks, the best being the opening one with a Method Man and Cappadonna featuring (also from the Wu-Tang galaxy Inspectah Deck and Masta Killa are featured in the album).
Some tracks are average but overall the album is still easily better than most of today's rap production.

Badbadnotgood & Ghostface Killah - Sour Soul (2015)


Some hip-hop for a change. But of the classiest kind. Ghostface Killah holding the mic. with GZA he's probably the only one from The Wu Tang Clan to deliver everytime, without wrong moves. As usual he shows here, but without vulgar showing-off, how good he is as a MC. Badbadnotgood, an instrumental trio (drums, stand-up bass and guitar, a bit of strings here and there) of young guys is writing / playing the music, in a jazzy/ soul vein with a hip-hop beat. Mostly slow and smooth with enough groove and leaving all the space needed for Ghostface to do his thing. The music's faithfull to the Ghostface Killah universe, focused on his most classy and soulfull side. One of the few hip-hop album I enjoyed these last years (last Ghostface solo album, 36 seasons is good as well, but I think I prefer this one, with a more constant quality).
