Fans who have been waiting for the past two years can finally rejoice:
Adrian Younge's and Ghostface Killah's Twelve Reasons To Die II is coming soon.

To up the ante this time around, Ghostface has added a very
important lyrical companion to the mix: Raekwon. The chemistry that was
cemented two decades ago on Rae's classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is
as strong as ever, clearly heard on five out of the album's 13 songs. And
on the topic of chemistry, executive producer and Wu-Tang patriarch
The RZA returns to Part II as the story's narrator.

Where the first installment of Twelve Reasons To Die was based in
1960s Italy - detailing the machinations of the feared DeLuca crime family -
Part II inhabits the grimy streets of mid-1970s New York City. Descendants
of the DeLucas are running the city, but a powerful, younger crime syndicate
is percolating, commanded by black gangster Lester Kane
(personified by Raekwon).

As Kane's power grows, he takes on the DeLucas and a bloodbath ensues.
Kane has always known the legend of Tony Starks, who was killed by the
DeLucas in Italy and whose remains were partially used to create twelve vinyl
records. When played back in the "old world," the Ghostface Killer rose and
destroyed the Italian faction. This plays into the story's conclusion
at the end of Part II.

The storyline for Part II is vividly brought to life with the help of Younge's
never-endingly evocative and unique brand of cinematic, psychedelic soul.
The music - on which Younge himself plays upwards of 10 instruments on
certain songs - was recorded strictly on analog tape, to bring out the true
grit of the '70s era that provides the Twelve Reasons backdrop.

Twelve Reasons To Die II is another heavy feather in the caps of all
involved, especially Younge and Ghost, who again poured their skills and
intellect into this dramatic and engaging tale. It all fits perfectly into the
Wu-Tang family tree as well as Younge's always-expanding musical universe,
which now proudly relies on Linear Labs to house it.
