Masta Killah - Made in Brooklyn (Nature Sounds)

Fans clamoring for a Wu-Tang Clan reunion shouldn't expect an album from the multifarious collective any time soon. But, Masta Killah's sophomore set--Made in Brooklyn--boasts enough "W" to effectively quench the thirst for new Wu material. The production department is held down by Pete Rock, MF Doom, Bronze Nazareth, and others.
