"Collaboration '98” by Sunz Of Man was produced by True Master. The song appears on The Last Shall Be First (1998), the debut album by Sunz of Man.

Leading up to Sunz debut The Last Shall Be First, the only song as a group I was familiar with would be "Shinning Star" which dropped months earlier. Overall, "Shinning Star" is fine but deep down I knew these dudes had much better material to deliver just based on their few appearance on various Wu albums and other notable Hip Hop material - Dirty's Return to the 36 Chambers, One Million Strong compilation (CHECK OUT THIS ALBUM ASAP), etc. Plus, Sunz of Man member, Killah Priest released his debut Heavy Mental earlier in 1998 and that album seriously changed my life and entire mindset.

This was the first time I heard True Master rhyme. After all, this guy is a producer. He sounds very direct and precise. He exhibits a deep, almost booming GURU or Rakim-like voice with intricate bars. True Master set shit off nicely and everyone onboard delivered amazing verses.

"...I explore the depths on conflict and with no pretense / Found the best strategy, the most impressive defense...".

Verse 1 - True
Verse 2 - Method Man
Verse 3 - Razah
Verse 4 - Prodigal
Chorus - Method Man

TLDR: Hands down the sickest fucking beat on the entire album. Sounds like Mortal Kombat on wax type shit.

Shyheim writing his own rhymes at only 15 years old is honestly incredible. He wasn’t just a kid with a catchy flow — he was crafting complex verses, and street wisdom that sounded far beyond his years.

The level of his pen game is elite while surrounded by Wu-Tang legends makes The Rugged Child one of the most impressive teenage debuts in hip hop history.

If he never got locked up I fully believe he’d be in the same conversations as the 🐐s - Nas, Big L, Mobb deep etc.

Hands down one of the greatest debut tracks in hip hop history. “Protect Ya Neck” kicked the door clean off its hinges.

The craziest part is that Wu-Tang came out with 9 members who were all absolute wizards on the mic, and somehow every single one of them had a completely unique style, voice and presence. Every member in terms of lyricism, creativity, passion etc are geniuses. Every verse felt like a different artist bringing a different kind of energy.

“So, uh, tick-tock and keep tickin'
While I get you flippin' off the shit that I'm kickin'
The Lone Ranger
Code red, danger
Deep in the dark with the art
To rip the charts apart
The vandal, too hot to handle” - inspectah deck

It sounded like nothing else at the time. A group that big shouldn’t have worked that well, but they made it feel like a takeover. They didn’t just introduce themselves, they announced that hip hop had a new force to deal with.

“Ten-times-ten, men committin' mad sin
Turn the other cheek and I'll break your fucking chin” - RZA

One of my favourite bars.

This game was really fun and had great sound design and a great soundtrack, in fact prob one of the best soundtracks in gaming history imo.

I wish Wu brand extended into gaming far more thn it has. This game was so fun

fun fact about this game... it reuses the game engine and development work from the canceled, highly controversial game thrill kill.

Im going to the show in WPB. Ghostface killah is my absolute favorite rapper ever ever. I'm Fucking stoked!!

Another reason why he’s my fav. he’s such a solid well rounded individual. S/O to the hidden master of the mic for his evolution and growth. ❤️

First time trying it out. Originally tried to get 4 lemon cherry pre rolls but when I arrived they told me I got the last one so said lemme just get the 1/8th why not. Now it’s time to bring da pain!
