SUUUUUUU! Welcome to another dip into the Wu-Tang Clan chamber. We jump into our Slept-On Wu Bangers Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0iESHJ2ZPR33rhl9mHEmRx) and pick out a song to break down on the show.   Back in 2001, Ghostface  Killah was hitting his apex, and one of the best songs to encapsulate this is ‘The Sun’. A deep cut that never got the chance to open his album ‘Bulletproof Wallets’, thanks to RZA being too high to remember the sample for clearance, this song may well be the best example of Wu-Tang being for the children. Featuring Raekwon, Slick Rick and RZA, we bring your our takes on this incredible track.   Show Notes Best Alarm Clock Hip Hop Songs (6:37)   🚨 Join Our Patreon: patreon.com/crate808 🚨   Help support the show and unlock a whole dungeon of rap goodness:   Wu-Tang Chronicles Series 🐝 Our Wu series travels through the entire Clan dynasty, giving you reviews of every solo album from members, including some MARATHON sessions.
