"Get On Down presents the debut solo album from Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah. Released in 1996 on Epic Records, Ironman earned immediate success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Produced by RZA, Ironman found inspiration in sources ranging from blaxploitation films to classic soul and charted a whole new direction for hip-hop in the process. The album features classic bangers like 'Daytona 500' featuring Raekwon and Cappadonna to soulful emotionally moving cuts like 'All That I Got Is You' with Mary J Blige. The album earned gold status a year after its release and platinum by 2004, a true testament to the staying power or this classic piece of Wu-Tang artistry."

"Ghostface Killah reunites with his partner in rhyme Raekwon to bring fans Bulletproof Wallets, which continues Ghost's winning streak of delivering front to back classic material. Filled with the usual Ghost slang, bass heavy production, Bulletproof Wallets dropped not long after Supreme Clientele without skipping a beat. The fun Ghost and Rae are having on this record is beyond apparent. Bulletproof Wallets is almost like a party album, hit singles and street bangers. 'Never Be the Same Again' (with Carl Thomas and Raekwon) and 'Ghost Showers' play alongside 'Maxine' and 'The Forrest' all working off each other's energy. Other stand outs like 'Walking through the Darkness,' 'The Hilton' all bang through the speakers and continues to add to Ghost's undeniable catalog. On some groundbreaking production from The RZA, Alchemist, Carlos 6 July Broady and Mathmatics, Ghostface shines and the chemistry between Rae and Ghost is incredible!"

Repressed; Originally released in 2001. "How could an artist follow up a record as solid as Supreme Clientele - Ghostface Killah answers that question - in sound - on Bulletproof Wallets. The release reunites GFK with his partner in rhyme Raekwon and continues Ghost's winning streak of delivering front to back classic material. Filled with the usual Ghost slang and bass heavy production, Bulletproof Wallets is the follow up Supreme Clientele deserved, delivered without skipping a beat.

Backed up by groundbreaking production from The RZA, Alchemist, Carlos '6 July' Broady and Mathematics, Ghostface shines and the chemistry between Rae and GFK is incredible!"

"In 2014 Adrian Younge provided Ghostface Killah with a sonic backdrop equal parts hip hop and Italian horror, as much Ennio Morricone as sweet boom bap. Select singles from the project will now be available, presented here Return of The Savage b/w King Of New York in a full color jacket. 12 Reasons To Die II is vividly brought to life with the help of Younge's never-endingly evocative and unique brand of cinematic, psychedelic soul. The music -- on which Younge himself plays upwards of 10 instruments -- was recorded strictly on analog tape, to bring out the true grit of the '70s era that provides the Twelve Reasons backdrop. Younge's work of course sounds great -- as presented here, it looks as good as it sounds with the Italian horror inspired graphics splattered all over the full color jacket."

"While 'Camay' is the A Side, and a banging A Side at that, it was 'Daytona 500' that would be become Wu fans favorite. The combination of Ghost, Rae and Cappadonna with the Force MD's on the hook is just pure fire. The beat, the park jam turntable rubs, the chorus, it's an unorthodox formula that works perfectly (don't forget to add an equally amazing video). Now available for the first time on 7' Get On Down is proud to present 'Camay' b/w 'Daytona 500'."

Instrumental versions, originally released in 2013, now reissued on the Linear Labs label. "The sounds of classic 36 Chambers-era RZA meld with Portishead and the Italian film music of Ennio Morricone on 12 Reasons To Die, the first ever collaboration between Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge. A daring, full-length Crime/Horror concept album, 12 Reasons' executive producer and Ghostface's longtime Wu-Tang Clan collaborator The RZA, referred to the album as 'groundbreaking' in the hip-hop genre. Ghostface Killah's prominence in hip hop has grown steadily over his 20-plus year career -- including high-profile appearances on Kanye West's Cruel Summer, RZA's The Man With the Iron Fists soundtrack and 36 Seasons, his recent collaboration with The Revelations -- 12 Reasons catches the gifted MC at the height of his lyrical prowess. Composer/producer/instrumentalist Adrian Younge represents the next generation of black music producers. His aim is an organic re-appropriation of hip-hop circa the mid-90s. His previous releases, the Black Dynamite soundtrack album (2009) Something About April (2011), and There Is Only Now, his collaboration with Souls Of Mischief (2012), touched on psychedelia, blaxploitation, and the cinematic soul of the 1970s. 12 Reasons was Adrian's first project in which he's immersed himself in the world of hip-hop."

"Fans who have been waiting for the past two years can finally rejoice: Adrian Younge's and Ghostface Killah's Twelve Reasons To Die II is coming soon. To up the ante this time around, Ghostface has added a very important lyrical companion to the mix: Raekwon. The chemistry that was cemented two decades ago on Rae's classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is as strong as ever, clearly heard on five out of the album's 13 songs. And on the topic of chemistry, executive producer and Wu-Tang patriarch The RZA returns to Part II as the story's narrator. Where the first installment of Twelve Reasons To Die was based in 1960s Italy -- detailing the machinations of the feared DeLuca crime family -- Part II inhabits the grimy streets of mid-1970s New York City. Descendants of the DeLucas are running the city, but a powerful, younger crime syndicate is percolating, commanded by black gangster Lester Kane (personified by Raekwon). As Kane's power grows, he takes on the DeLucas and a bloodbath ensues. Kane has always known the legend of Tony Starks, who was killed by the DeLucas in Italy and whose remains were partially used to create twelve vinyl records. When played back in the 'old world,' the Ghostface Killer rose and destroyed the Italian faction. This plays into the story's conclusion at the end of Part II. The storyline for Part II is vividly brought to life with the help of Younge's never-endingly evocative and unique brand of cinematic, psychedelic soul. The music -- on which Younge himself plays upwards of 10 instruments on certain songs -- was recorded strictly on analog tape, to bring out the true grit of the '70s era that provides the Twelve Reasons backdrop. Twelve Reasons To Die II is another heavy feather in the caps of all involved, especially Younge and Ghost, who again poured their skills and intellect into this dramatic and engaging tale. It all fits perfectly into the Wu-Tang family tree as well as Younge's always-expanding musical universe, which now proudly relies on Linear Labs to house it."

2018 repress. "On 36 Seasons Ghostface once again delivers exactly what the hardcore Wu-fans crave: desperate tales from the dark side over soulful boom-bap tracks. The soundscape is provided The Revelations [Brooklyn's acclaimed soul band/production team]. Their hard-hitting tracks match the intensity of Ghost's violent narrative. His co-stars on 36 Seasons are legendary lyricists and storytellers in their own right, 3 of the greatest of all-time: AZ, Kool G Rap and Pharoahe Monch. The album also features vocal contributions from Blue Note Records' rising star Kandace Springs and gritty soul singers Rell and Tre Williams."

Deluxe 24k audiophile gold disc CD version (the disc itself is embedded 24-karat gold) with re-mastered audio, housed in a cherrywood trophy box with gold Ironman plaque. Forty-eight page full-color, hard-cover book including liner notes, extended artwork, album lyrics, and text from noted journalist Chris Faraone. "By the time hip-hop had ambled its way to 1996, one fact was undeniable: the Wu-Tang Clan was not only here to stay, but amazingly also gaining steam with each new solo release. Rap scribe Chris Faraone sets the stage quite nicely for the landing of Ironman in the set's liner notes: 'With such vigorous [Wu-Tang solo release] precedents before him, Ghostface set an even higher standard for himself, venturing deep through sound and space continuums that his comrades had already trampled, but also finding new frontiers to pillage. With not just Raekwon but also Park Hill vet and sleeper ace Cappadonna along for the ride, the MC known as Tony Starks barreled through love songs, posse cuts, verbal battlegrounds, and even soft ballads that show a softer side of the previously guarded Wu. As a result, Ghost earned a well-deserved rep as the group's most versatile stylist, and as a rare rap artist who's not afraid to appear vulnerable or pull heartstrings."
