HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tommaso Boddi / Getty We may not see another Wu-Tang Clan album for a hot minute but at least some members continue to churn out work for the culture and today The Abbot of the iconic group returns with his alter ego in tow.

O.N.E. The Duo Carve Their Own Path From Wu-Tang Roots to Country Music
O.N.E. The Duo could’ve taken the easy way into the music biz. The mother-daughter duo of Tekitha Washington and Prana Supreme Diggs was already hip-hop royalty — as in Prana’s father is RZA, while Washington (known professionally by only her first name) can be heard on a number of Wu-Tang Clan group and solo tracks across her 25-year career — and likely would’ve coasted into a secure space within the rap or R&B worlds pretty easily. Instead, O.N.E. (which stands for “Observant, Noetic, and Effervescent”) decided to delve into arguably the most difficult corner of the music realm they could enter: country. As the only Black mother-daughter combination in country — a genre which has often been challenging for women and minorities alike — the Nashville-based duo is carving their own way ...

RZA Regrets Selling Once Upon a Time in Shaolin to Martin Shkreli
RZA admitted his regret about selling Wu-Tang Clan‘s controversial, one-and-only compact disc copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin to Martin Shkreli in a Hot 97 radio interview on Wednesday. “It was in the wrong hands in reality,” RZA said. “He made the deal before it was revealed of his character, his personality, and all of the insidious things he would go on to do. That wasn’t the guy I met, but he definitely unfolded into that guy.” Last week, crypto collective PleasrDAO purchased the CD at a government auction, which had previously been seized from “pharma bro” Shkreli who had purchased it directly from RZA for $2 million in 2015. The pharmaceutical executive, Shkreli, was sentenced to prison on securities fraud and charges three years later. “Now that PleasrDAO has it, there...
