We're back with more! As if the prior update wasn't enough, we got another one for ya! One of Hip Hop's elite Producers DJ Muggs and one of the most well respected emcees in the game, GZA come together and create Grandmasters. This heavily anticipated collaboration was released Today on Angeles Records. On paper alone, it created an astonishing buzz among those in the Hip-Hop world. 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: “All In Together Now.” Other stand out tracks include “General Principles,” “Advance Pawns,” and “Those That's Bout It.”

A little over a week ago, the RapTalk.net staff hit Live At The Op, which saw performances from Sick Symphonies to Twista in San Bernardino. They conducted a string of Interviews, including the Self Scientific interview that was posted earlier. They conduct this Muggs interview for DubCNN, as well. They talk about how he got started in the rap game, how Angeles Records got started, how the Grandmasters album came about and more.
