The New York born, South Gate, California raised, DJ Muggs laid down his distinct dark-gloomy sound as the back drop for the GZA’s lyrical tirades.

GZA and Muggs bring together a few of their Wu-Tang and Cypress Hill brethen, respectively, for guest spots on the album. Features include the Abbot himself, RZA, The Chef Raekwon, the underrated Masta Killa, the Mad Dog Sen Dog and Prodigal Sunn.

The first time these two collabed was back in 1997, on the first installment of the Soul Assassins albums. 8 years later, they’ve finally completed an album together. GZA and RZA team up for a tribute to Ol Dirty Bastard using they namesake of their old group, as a trio, as the name of the song: ﾓAll In Together Now.ﾔ Other stand out tracks include ﾓGeneral Principles,ﾔ ﾓAdvance Pawns,ﾔ and ﾓThose That’s Bout It.ﾔ
