Album Notes & Community Reviews

The lead single from 'The W', 'Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)' reworks the group's 1993 debut single as a posse cut, RZA's sparse production passing the microphone between the Clan's members. Its self-referential structure frames the album as a return to the collective's original formation.
