In 2013, Ghostface Killah recorded Twelve Reasons To Die with producer Adrian Younge. The result: a distillation of groove, an unprecedented orgy of sharp rap and vintage soul. But the Wu-Tang Clan rapper also asked producer Apollo Brown to concoct an alternative version of this album. Dubbed The Brown Tape, it only came out on cassette tape… Five years later, this rarity has officially surfaced - and so much the better! Not least because Ghostface has brought together several Wu-Tang colleagues like Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, Cappadonna and RZA are also the narrators here. Behind this concept album that's packed with gangsters, treachery and crime in general, the Detroit producer has thought up a framework that's even dirtier and more punchy than the original. A soundtrack that fits perfectly to Ghostface's prose and his unique flow, which owes more to Wu-Tang than to Twelve Reasons To Die! And what if RZA had produced this Brown Tape all on his own? © MZ/Qobuz
