referencing Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, 2xLP, Album, 61659-1

This is my favourite of all the Wu solo releases. RZA's beats are immense. His production lends a gritty, raw feeling to the record that gets better with repeated listening. Dirty's vocal delivery is also incredibly creative not to mention unique. His sing-rap style and bizarre lyrical content are so original and catchy it's hard not to love this record. Rawhide, Shimmy Shimmy Ya and Brooklyn Zoo are highlights but the standout tack is Snakes. Dirty has a short verse at the end of the track but it is absolutely superb.
This is an awesome record all round and for anyone curious about the Wu solo releases or any fan of hiphop, is an essential purchase.
The best release from a lost talent.
