Hell Razah & Shabazz The Disciple Team For New Album



By: Trees
Veteran New York-based and Wu-Tang Clan affiliated emcees Hell Razah and Shabazz the Disciple have teamed up under the "T.H.U.G. Angelz" moniker to unveil their July 8th debut release Welcome To Red Hook Houses on renowned indie Babygrande Records.

Best known for their deeply rooted history with The Wu-Tang Clan, including their membership in the seminal Wu-affiliated Sunz of Man, Razah and Shabazz have since appeared on RZA's classic Gravediggaz LP while 2007 saw Razah's solo debut with the critically acclaimed "Renaissance Child."

Now, assuming the roles of tour guides, Razah and Shabazz commit to shining a light on the Red Hook housing projects that served as a creative breeding ground for them and many other independent emcees, and in so doing, the duo illuminate the significance of Brooklyn's famed Red Hook Houses in the development of early/mid nineties' "golden age" hip-hop.
