Clean Guns vs. Wu-Tang: One in the 36th Chamber
As we get closer to its official release I'll have more details on the project, but for now all you need to know is this: Zilla and Nico have been in the studio for the past five months cooking up a new mixtape that will feature the Clean Guns duo rapping over a bunch of classic Wu-Tang beats that have been reinterpreted by some of the best underground producers in the business. The current plan is to put it out within a month over on thirtythreejones.com - date subject to change, as always - and the early returns thus far have been amazing (no joke, I've played Small Pro's remake of Criminology to four different people, and it elicited the exact same response each time: Oh Shit!). To whet your appetite, here's a freestyle of Nico rapping over the original Triumph beat:

And for those of you who prefer your freestyles acapella, a film crew was able to capture The Beast in his native habitat, the streets of Philly, performing the song:
