Alex Ludovico, My Man Shafe & Zilla Rocca - New Wu Freestyle (right-click to d/l)
Way back in 2010, Alex Ludovico posted an incredible webcam performance of himself freestyling over the New Wu beat while politely answering the phone and chatting up a girl on AIM. It was right around the time of the old Clean Guns vs Wu Tang project, so I asked Ludo for an official recording of his freestyle with the idea that we would somehow work it into the promos. For various reasons the project never saw the light of day, with the end result being that I had this great verse from Ludovico but no opportunity to use it. So it sat neglected on my hard drive, until the upcoming release date of Zilla Rocca's reimagined Wu Tang Pulp project offered up the potential for a nice tie-in.
As we've seen with their previous Liquid Swords collaboration, the pairing of Zilla and Ludovico over a Wu-Tang beat brings out the best in both of them. Add in a verse from My Man Shafe, who's been on fire since he first showed up on our radar with his single Look at Her, and that's "one in the chamber, Wu-Tang Banger."
If you like hearing Zilla rap over jacked Wu beats, be sure to check out his collaboration with fellow Wrecking Crew members Has-Lo and Curly Castro for their Wu-Tang Pulp remake of Scallops:

The official release date for Wu-Tang Pulp isn't yet set, but keep checking his site Clap Cowards for further updates. Zilla assures me that he's in the process of putting the final touches on the project, and from everything I've heard off of it, it will be well worth the wait.
To hear more from Alex Ludovico, check out our recent review of his album Fame Kills.
My Man Shafe is hard at work on the release of the next single from his upcoming album, Who's That?! My Man Shafe! We'll be posting that up on the site soon enough, but in the meantime go download his most recent track Red Knight Going Down.
