Ghostface Killah recruited an all-star lineup for his upcoming album.
On Tuesday, May 7, the Wu-Tang Clan member debuted the tracklist for his 12th studio LP Set The Tone. It will feature contributions from the likes of Nas, Ye, Remy Ma, Raekwon, AZ, Jim Jones, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Sheek Louch, Ja Rule, Serani and plenty more to come. The follow-up to his Ghostface Killahs album is scheduled to arrive this Friday, May 9 via Mass Appeal Records.
"Thank you to everyone who helped put this project together and every talented artist that jump in the fire with me !!" he wrote in his announcement post on Instagram.
The album appears to be set up like a movie or play with the first act "Guns" and the second act "Roses." In total, it holds 19 tracks including four skits. Ghostface announced the album last week and dropped his new collaboration with Nas, "Scar Tissue."
In addition to the album, the seasoned MC will also release his first memoir "Rise of a Killah" via St. Martin's Press/Macmillan. The book is set to examine "his childhood in Staten Island, his commitment to his family (including a brother with muscular dystrophy) and lifelong sidekicks."
"Rich with both story and imagery, 'Rise Of A Killah' is both visual record and a real-feel narrative of a performer’s life," the publisher's website says.
Look out for his new album dropping this week, and his memoir dropping May 14.
