$tay Puft "$tay-Wu: Voltron" (Mixtape)

Los Angeles' $tay Puft put this mix together earlier this year, one of many in this similiar vein of paying homage to one of the greatest hip-hop collectives of all-time, Wu-Tang Clan. This particular chamber features joints "stitched together" from the first wave of Wu-Tang Clan solo albums. Roughly around the time between Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and Wu-Tang Forever. We're talking Liquid Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, Tical, Iron Man, etc. The early years were clearly something so special, specifically how RZA curated the sound so meticulously for each MC. There will never be anything like it again. Anyhow, the music speaks for itself, which is great, because this is just some shit you stumble upon late at night diggin' through Bandcamp. Follow the breadcrumbs...

Back once again, $tay Puft releases Volume 3 of his $tay-Wu mix-series. As with previous installments, the tape is stitched together from solo joints, soundtrack work, and compilation albums mostly from the post 8 diagrams era. He picked his favorite tracks and cut them into one mixtape that he hopes pays proper homage and respect to the almighty WU-TANG CLAN. $tay Puft is the DJ alter-ego of TJ Firestone, a designer, writer and voice over artist based in Los Angeles. You can see the tracklist above, listen to the mix and peep the archives for additional $tay-Wu mixes below. Also, if you're interested, download all of his mixes using the name your option at Bandcamp...
