The Wu-Tang Clan is reported to be on the verge of a big comeback, including the release of Raekwon's Cuban Linx Part II album on deck.
Rae's highly anticipated Cuban Linx sequel, which has no release date as of yet, will reunite many of the Clan. It is reported that The Rza will handle 90% of the LP's production with the additional beats coming from none other than Dre Dre and Nottz. Many of the Wu-Gambino aliases who first appeared on the first Cuban Linx joint will also resurface, including Maximillion (aka The Gza), who has been in the studio with Rae recently. Busta Rhymes is also reportedly signed on to executive produce the project.

The new Wu-Tang project also brings surprising contributions from the rock world. John Frusciante, the eccentric guitarist of rock group the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, is slated to help with the project. The Rza, has also been recording tracks with Daron Malakian, the guitarist from political metal group System of a Down.

The Rza has also been working with Wu-Tang members Method Man on his upcoming project, as well as Inspectah Deck, who he hasn't worked with in over 3 years. Masta Killa is also in the studio, currently working on his follow up to last years No Said Date.

Meanwhile, The Rza has been busy with endeavors outside of the music scene. The eclectic Wu-Tang producer recently celebrated the birth of his new son and will also start filming his movie The Man With The Iron Fist next month. The film will be a tribute to the Kung Fu movies that helped inspire him and The Wu growing up.
