“The Soulful Chamber” - El Michels Affair’s Enter The 37th Chamber

Words By Jesse H. And what a journey it was. While I may be in the minority in proclaiming that the RZA has a slight edge over Premo as the best producer of all time, the impact of the Wu debut is a monstrosity that we’re finally beginning to fully understand the magnitude of.

8 Diaphragms…

Ah yes. Take a good…long…hard…stare (gotcha pervert) at the album cover. Has it been awhile? Have you even seen it before? Gas was higher than a blimp this time last year. That $15 could’ve went to the tank, son. Feels like an eternity has passed since the Wu released their last...
