Up from the 36 Chambers, perhaps literally, oft-forgotten member Masta Killa picks up on the recent Wu renaissance & prepares to release Live, his first album in five years. Carrying on the Clan’s tradition of amplified live performances (See: their work with El Michels Affair), Live features tracks from No Said Date as well as Masta Killa’s appearances on essential tracks throughout Wu’s catalog, including “Duel of the Iron Mic,” “Guillotine” and “Mystery of Chessboxin’.” Listening to “Duel…,” the only thing missing from this recording is a stage of a full of Shaolin soldiers/weed carriers, a crowd full of white people and everyone throwing up their W’s in mass.

Since we had decent fun and success with Volume 1, we figured we would ahead present The Pack Volume 2 to share tracks that crossed our radar over the past week. No real method to the madness as there’s tracks from Wafeek, Alley Boy, Buff, a Santigold remix of Norah Jones, young old Juvie, Luda, Philadelphia Freeway…you get the picture.

For those of you who enjoyed our recent Smoking Session with Girl Talk, take a look at his live performance from the 2008 Roskilde Festival. Sadly, fans were not allowed on stage at this show. If you’ve ever been to a Girl Talk show, you know that the stage is usually more packed with people than the rest of the venue. Although it lacks the complete insanity that normally takes place at the majority of his shows, it still gives you and idea of what it’s like to see him live.
