-
Wu-Tang
Clan’s
own
Cappadonna
connects
with
acclaimed
producer
Stu
Bangas
for
a
lyrically
potent,
sonically
raw
new
album,
3rd
Chamber
Grail
Bars.
The
album
follows
strong
2021
releases
from
both
artists,
Donna’s
Black
Tarrzann
and
Stu’s
Deathwish,
and
it
represents
the
emcee’s
first
full-length
collaboration
with
a
single
producer.
The
result
is
a
tight,
cohesive
listen
full
of
sharp
verses,
neck-snapping
instrumentals,
and
some
stellar
guest
features.
The
two
first
worked
together
on
the
Wu
rapper’s
2013
album,
Eyrth,
Wynd
&
Fyre,
when
Stu
produced
a
pair
of
notable
cuts
(“We
Hood
Rich
Now”
and
“Chains”).
“I
knew
that
he
was
feeling
the
beats,”
Stu
said.
“And
I
saw
an
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
him
and
took
it.”
They
reconnected
via
industry
A&R,
M-Eighty,
who
provided
Donna
with
a
folder
of
instrumentals
from
the
producer.
And
for
the
emcee,
the
timing
was
perfect
because
of
how
the
beats
“fit
my
mood
and
energy
in
the
moment.”
The
energy
is
one
of
a
time-tested
lyricist
with
a
lot
on
his
mind—and
plenty
of
clever
ways
to
get
his
point
across.
You
can
hear
that
on
the
piano-laced,
eerie
“Continuous
Threat”
with
Planet
Asia,
as
well
as
the
straight-up
dope
“Tryna
Survive”
featuring
ILL
BILL.
Both
tracks
showcase
Donna’s
gifts
with
the
pen
as
well
as
his
talents
as
a
collaborator.
Other
standouts
include
the
raucous
“Bring
It
Out,”
which
also
happens
to
be
Stu’s
favorite
cut
on
the
LP.
“I
love
everything
about
it—the
beat,
the
intro,
the
subject
matter
of
the
verses,
the
raw
hook,
all
of
it,”
he
explained.
As
you’ll
hear
on
the
album,
it’s
clear
that
it
was
created
not
only
for
the
love
of
the
culture,
but
also
out
of
mutual
respect
for
the
other
artist.
Stu
referred
to
3rd
Chamber
Grail
Bars
as
“a
life
goal
of
mine
that
I
have
checked
off,”
while
Donna
had
glowing
praise
for
his
collaborator.
“Stu’s
catalog
may
be
as
great,
iIf
not
greater,
than
any
producer
I
can
name,”
he
said.
