Ghostface Killah - The Lost Tapes Limited Edition '2018

Tracks list

As one of the original members of the seminal 90s rap crew the Wu-Tang Clan,
Ghostface Killah (aka Tony Starks) made an impact before he released his debut
album, Ironman, late in 1996. Like all members of the Wu-Tang Clan, the rapper
used the group as a launching pad for a solo career, which was assisted greatly
by other members of the Clan, particularly producer RZA. Ghostface Killah had
rapped on Wu-Tangs 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang, but he didnt distinguish
himself until 1995, when he was showcased on fellow Wu member Raekwons Only
Built 4 Cuban Linx. Ghostface received good reviews for his appearance on the
record, and his contribution to the soundtracks for Sunset Park and Dont Be a
Menace to South Central While Youre Drinking Your Juice in the Hood were also
well-received. All of these guest appearances and soundtrack contributions set
the stage for Ghostface Killahs solo debut, Ironman, in late 1996. Like all
Wu-Tang projects, it was produced by RZA and was quite successful in the large
hip-hop/rap underground, debuting at number two on the pop charts upon its
release. Ironman was also the first album to be released on Razor Sharp Records,
RZAs record label on Epic Records.

Work with the Wu-Tang and their various members kept Ghostface Killah busy until
solo singles started appearing at the end of 1999, followed by his sophomore
full-length, Supreme Clientele, in early 2000. Supreme Clientele was a success,
but it was followed a year later by Bulletproof Wallets, an album that didnt
sell well and had fans declaring the Ironman had gone soft. Once again it was
back to the Wu for a couple years before the rapper would be appearing solo
again. Epic issued the compilation Shaolins Finest in April of 2003, and by the
end of the year two new Ghostface tracks had appeared on mixtapes: the chaotic
Run with Jadakiss and the more commercial Tush with Missy Elliott raised the
anticipation for the rappers first album for Def Jam and his first under the
simpler moniker Ghostface. The Pretty Toney Album hit the streets in April of
2004. The Top Ten hit Fishscale, along with More Fish, followed in 2006, but not
before 718 -- an album from his Theodore Unit.

Always prolific, the rapper put out The Big Doe Rehab -- whose release date had
originally coincided with Wu-Tangs long-awaited fifth full-length, 8 Diagrams,
which RZA agreed to push back a week so as to not coincide with Ghosts effort --
in early December 2007. Ghostface returned in 2008 with a pair of compilations:
The Wallabee Champ (rarities and B-sides) and GhostDeini the Great (including
remixes, alternate versions, and career highlights). Influenced by R&B and
focused on the ladies, his 2009 album, Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry, was a
significant departure. The more traditional effort, Apollo Kids, landed in 2010
with special guests Redman, Busta Rhymes, and the Game. Another significant
departure arrived in early 2013 with the release of Twelve Reasons to Die, a
collaborative effort with film composer Adrian Younge. Inspired by the Italian
murder mystery/slasher film genre known as giallo, it was a concept album based
around Ghosts Tony Starks alter ego. Starks appeared once again on the following
years 36 Seasons, a return to a more straightforward gangsta rap sound. Largely
produced by the Revelations, it featured guest spots from the likes of AZ, Kool
G Rap, and Pharoahe Monch. Sour Soul followed in 2015 and featured music from
BadBadNotGood, the Toronto-based jazz trio. That same year, composer Younge
returned for Twelve Reasons to Die II, a sequel featuring guest appearances from
Vince Staples, RZA, and Raekwon. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
