Never listened to Dilated Peoples before, been bumping this track multiple times a day the last few days, so good! Also, in the last verse, the emcee references the Sam Greenlee novel, The Spook Who Sat by the Door, one of my fav novels which also was adapted into a 70s film with Herbie Hancock doing the soundtrack.

The Empire State Building is about to bring da ruckus. New York City mayor Eric Adams has officially declared Thursday, November 9 ‘Wu-Tang Day,’ in honor of the 30th anniversary of their legendary debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and the Empire State Building will light up in black and yellow for the occasion.
