After his much-heralded return on OB4CL 2, Shallah doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. In a conversation with VIBE, the Chef reveals some of the guest appearances on his September release, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang. “Method Man, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, and GZA all appear on the album. At the same time I got some other guys involved like [The Roots’] Black Thought—I love his talent. I think that when it comes to him delivering what level I wanted to go he was […]

Although Rick Ross’ Teflon Don hits stores tomorrow, we’ve had an advance copy for a couple of days now. After examining the album art, I noticed that the rapper MC Hammer (K. Burrell) was credited on the self titled track.
