His lyrical style has influenced countless emcees including the late Big Pun. With "Hood Hopera" Bazz has created a masterpiece from various recordings he has made in recent years. The album is conceived as a ghetto opera, with various scenes and characters, as their story is revealed. All of this album is either very rare or previously unreleased, so get ready for what is virtually a brand new Shabazz album, as compiled by Bazz himself especially for Chambermusik. Guests include Yay-Yay, Murdoc, Zodiak, Kaot'F, Freestyle (Arsonists) Jabril, & Meglinda. Producers include Godzwrath, Snowgoons, Hear no Evil, DJ Mo-B, Shawneci, Focus, A Skillz, and others.
As both a young veteran of many Wu-Tang Projects, including most notably those by Ghostface Killah & Cappadonna, Solomon Childs (formerly Killa Bamz) has certainly come into his own. His gravelly voice and streetwise lyrics are Usually heard in a solo setting on Chambermusik, however with "Wu-Tang 4 Life", he shows an even wider array of skills when placed alongside several notable guests. Featured on this album are Sha Stimuli, Buddha Monk, Fes Taylor, Meyhem Lauren, Rassul Allah (L.C.O.B.), G-Clef da Mad Komposa, Darkskinned Assassin, and several other artists. 6 of the tracks are handled by G-Clef da Mad Komposa of Soul Kid Klik fame.
Tommy Whispers of T.M.F. and producer Unspoken joined forces to become the Loudmoufs. Together they created an album the old fashioned way: one emcee and one producer. Their chemistry can definitely be felt throughout the 17-track LP as Spoke crafted soulful beats that fit Tomahawk’s style and voice perfectly. While Tommy is perfectly able to hold the album on his own his T.M.F. brothers Trife Diesel and Kryme Life came in for a reunion cut. Kryme assists Hawk on another joint to remind us that the HK album is coming.
