Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge – ‘Twelve Reasons To Die II’

The Wu-Tang Clan veteran teams up with RZA and Raekwon for another sparkling concept album

This sequel to the Wu-Tanger’s 2013 concept album reunites him with producer-composer Adrian Younge. As well as continuing the labyrinthine plot from the first record – the backstory, in which the supernatural intersects with 1960s Italian mobsters, is voiced here by RZA – Ghost and Younge revisit the first instalment’s sparkling soundbed. Arguably Wu-Tang’s most talented MC: his third album in as many years shows he’s on a streak that’s both prolific and high quality. Two decades on from ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…’, five cuts here reunite Ghost with his perfect foil, Raekwon, who’s “decapitatin’ heads like a journalist snatched by Isis” (‘Return Of The Savage’). Protect ya neck, indeed.
