Last night on Jimmy Fallon, GZA and Tom Morello were in the building performing their one-off collaboration of “The Mexican,” the Wu Tang Clan’s rapper’s cover version . “The Mexican” was originally from British rock band Babe Ruth and released in 1979. The Tonight Show‘s house band filled in for Unknown Mortal Orchestra who appeared in the studio version of the song last year.
After reuniting last year for their farewell album A Better Tomorrow, it’s been a busy few days for the members of the Wu as Ghostface Killah released his collaborative LP Sour Soup, Raekwon appeared and preformed “C.R.E.A.M” with Kanye West at his London show and RZA released a 13-minute snippet of the group’s exclusive album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. Currently, GZA is working on their next space-themed album entitled Dark Matter. He’s been working on this album for the past three years along side a scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well as guest lecturing at Harvard University.
