Much like RZA in his prime DJ Muggs has a knack of masterfully taking soulful samples and meshing them over hip hop beats to create classics. The similarity in their styles is why DJ Muggs has such a great chemistry with the Wu-Tang members. It is good to see that this day in age they continue working together putting out high caliber material.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RC1cs5hzSE\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-wu-tang-clan-wu-tang-affiliate\/\">Nas and Wu-Tang Clan: Wu-Tang Affiliate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-wu-tang-clan-wu-tang-affiliate\/embed\/#?secret=RC1cs5hzSE\" data-secret=\"RC1cs5hzSE\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Nas and Wu-Tang Clan: Wu-Tang Affiliate&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"EQtxavTEYj\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/wu-tang-clan-clans-next-generation\/\">Wu-Tang Clan: Clan\u2019s Next Generation<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/wu-tang-clan-clans-next-generation\/embed\/#?secret=EQtxavTEYj\" data-secret=\"EQtxavTEYj\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Wu-Tang Clan: Clan\u2019s Next Generation&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This coming Friday DJ Muggs, hip hop producer extraordinaire and a founding member of Cypress Hill will be releasing the project Dia Del Asesinato.
