Album Notes & Community Reviews

A cinematic collaboration between Wu-Tang legend Ghostface Killah and producer Adrian Younge, 'Twelve Reasons to Die' is a gritty concept album inspired by Italian horror films. Younge's live instrumentation provides a vintage, soulful backdrop for Ghostface's vivid storytelling about a murdered mob enforcer resurrected on vinyl. It is a stylish and bloody revenge tale that ranks among the best solo Wu-Tang projects.
