From our good friends at Audible Treats:
El Michels Affair’s collection of instrumental covers of fifteen Clan classics, Enter The 37th Chamber, has been helping Wu-Tang fans realize their dreams. The soulful instrumentals providefans with the chance to spit their own verses to their favorite beats, in the privacy of our own homes of course. The latest candidate for a vocal makeover, “Duel Of The Iron Mics,” is from GZA’s 1995 solo release Liquid Swords and features fellow Wu-Tang members Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Masta Killa, and Inspectah Deck. El Michels captures this RZA beat to a “T,” complete with the droning bass line, menacing piano melody and string arrangements, and even quotations from the cult samurai film Shogun Assassin.
Download “Duel of The Iron Mics” below, and you can and should pick up the full project right here.
