No Said Date

Includes a bonus DVD.
While Masta Killa may be the last of the Wu-Tang Clan's nine original members to come out with a solo record, he does so in style. On the critically acclaimed PRETTY TONEY ALBUM, Ghostface opened by assuring the public that the Wu-Tang family was still intact and working on new material, but not one of the Staten Island crew made an appearance on that disc. Masta Killa's defiantly titled, long-awaited debut, NO SAID DATE, features a reunion of sorts, boasting every single Wu member, and even bringing estranged cousins RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard together on the funky "Old Man."
However, before the Wu-Tang gang starts making cameos en masse, Masta Killa reminds listeners that he didn't wait this long because he lacks talent of his own, and he opens the album with four strictly solo tracks. From the hazy funk of "Grab the Microphone," Killa launches into the brash, RZA-produced title track, which deftly turns the long-time-coming nature of the release on its ear ("'When ya droppin'? No said date?premeditated, calculated"). A welcome first outing by an often-overlooked Wu-Tang member, NO SAID DATE is a notable release for both Masta Killa and the entire Wu-Tang unit.
