Ghostface Killah
Big Doe Rehab
(Universal)
Snoop Dogg’s recent single “Sensual Seduction” has nothing on—and perhaps everything to owe to—Ghostface Killah, whose ability to infuse hip-hop with a heavy dose of ’70s funk is unequalled in the industry. His ability to fuse genres is one of the primary reasons Ghostface Killah is one of the more critically acclaimed graduates of the much-lauded Wu-Tang Clan and why he’s quickly becoming a fan favourite. On Big Doe Rehab, Ghostface’s rhymes are as tight as they are sharp. With the recent release of the new Wu album you only need to press play on his solo disc to hear where Ghostface’s heart is.
