Wu-Tang and De La Soul: One Of These Groups Is Releasing An Album You Can’t Own

Today in breaking news from classic hip-hop groups: the Wu-Tang Clan has a new album coming out in July called A Better Tomorrow and you’ll all be able to buy it! But that’s not the news. What about a brand new Wu-Tang album that you won’t be able to get your hands on?

That one’s called Once Upon A Time in Shaolin and, according to Forbes, only a single hard copy will be manufactured,

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.”

After a museum tour, where interested parties can pay to enter and listen to the two-hour-plus album, it will be available for sell to a single buyer in an “engraved silver-and-nickel box,” designed by British-Moroccan artist Yahya. The group expects the sale of this album to be in the millions.

Looking for something you can actually hear now? Generous trio De La Soul has released a new mixtape and it’s available to download for free at this very minute over at HotNewHipHop.com. The mixtape has twelve tracks and is titled Smell The D.A.I.S.Y.
