The acclaimed Wu-Tang Clan member is laying tracks for Cuban Linx 2: Bulletproof Wallets-his third album as a solo artist and the successor to the gold-certified disc Supreme Clientele (2000); and his 1996 platinum debut, Iron Man, which entered at No. 2 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. Cuban Linx 2: Bulletproof Wallets is scheduled for summer release on Starks Enterprises/Epic Records.

Fellow Clan member Raekwon is expected to appear on roughly half of Cuban Linx 2 in a historic reunion of the two from The Wu. In 1995, his solo debut ...Only Built 4 Cuban Linx was billed as "Raekwon guest-starring Tony Starks a/k/a Ghostface Killer" (an early spelling).

Cuban Linx 2 will also feature exclusive guest shots by other Wu-Tang members to be announced, along with production by The RZA, the Wu's presiding studio wizard. Ghostface, Raekwon, and RZA recently convened at an undisclosed Miami location to audition an estimated 1,000 beats for possible deployment on Cuban Linx 2.

As a solo artist, Ghostface Killah has sold over two million albums worldwide and played an integral part in the Wu-Tang Clan's best-selling trilogy: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993), Wu-Tang Forever (1997), and 2000’s The W (he served as co-executive producer on all 3 albums). Ghost's Iron Man (featuring Raekwon and Cappadonna) was the first album to be released on Razor Sharp Records, The RZA's custom imprint on Epic Records. The Ghostface rap sheet also includes notable appearances on recent tracks by DJ Clue, Mary J. Blige, and Ruff Endz; and a captivating appearance on Cappadonna's latest effort, The Yin And The Yang.

"Ghost's references-the streets, food, soul music-are the stuff of everyday life," wrote Anthony DeCurtis in Rolling Stone. "But his urgent, overpowering flow is designed to maintain the unrehearsed immediacy of freestyle rapping, in which cadence, sound and unconscious association triumph over logic."
