Cappadonna - 3rd Chamber Grail Bars '2022

Tracks list

       Wu-Tang Clan's own Cappadonna connects with acclaimed producer Stu Bangas
for a lyrically potent, sonically raw new album, 3rd Chamber Grail Bars. The
album follows strong 2021 releases from both artists, Donna's Black Tarrzann and
Stu's Deathwish, and it represents the emcee's first full-length collaboration
with a single producer. The result is a tight, cohesive listen full of sharp
verses, neck-snapping instrumentals, and some stellar guest features. The two
first worked together on the Wu rapper's 2013 album, Eyrth, Wynd & Fyre, when
Stu produced a pair of notable cuts ("We Hood Rich Now" and "Chains"). "I knew
that he was feeling the beats," Stu said. "And I saw an opportunity to reach out
to him and took it." They reconnected via industry A&R, M-Eighty, who provided
Donna with a folder of instrumentals from the producer. And for the emcee, the
timing was perfect because of how the beats "fit my mood and energy in the
moment." The energy is one of a time-tested lyricist with a lot on his mind-and
plenty of clever ways to get his point across. You can hear that on the
piano-laced, eerie "Continuous Threat" with Planet Asia, as well as the
straight-up dope "Tryna Survive" featuring ILL BILL. Both tracks showcase
Donna's gifts with the pen as well as his talents as a collaborator. Other
standouts include the raucous "Bring It Out," which also happens to be Stu's
favorite cut on the LP. "I love everything about it-the beat, the intro, the
subject matter of the verses, the raw hook, all of it," he explained. As you'll
hear on the album, it's clear that it was created not only for the love of the
culture, but also out of mutual respect for the other artist. Stu referred to
3rd Chamber Grail Bars as "a life goal of mine that I have checked off," while
Donna had glowing praise for his collaborator. "Stu's catalog may be as great,
iIf not greater, than any producer I can name," he said.
