Ghostface Killah’s Nearly Mythical Album “Supreme Clientele 2” Gets Release Date

It looks like Ghostface Killah will release Supreme Clientele 2 on June 19, his long overdue sequel to the 2000 original. It will arrive as part of the Legend Has It…album series presented by Mass Appeal.

Supreme Clientele 2 has been a topic of anticipation for nearly a decade, while Supreme Clientele remains a Hip-Hop classic, applauded for its artistic innovation and revitalizing impact on the Wu-Tang Clan’s solo legacy. Ghostface’s up-tempo, stream-of-consciousness lyricism, paired with RZA’s cohesive and soulful production, created a sound that was at once nostalgic and forward-thinking. The album debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and quickly achieved gold status, although its influence extended far beyond commercial success.

Widely regarded as Ghostface’s best work and one of the greatest solo projects from any Wu-Tang member, its dense, abstract wordplay and vivid imagery set a new standard for lyrical creativity. The album’s use of soul samples and cinematic storytelling inspired a generation of producers and rappers, with figures like Kanye West and Just Blaze citing it as a direct influence on their own work, particularly in shaping the sound of early 2000s Hip-Hop. Critics lauded the album for its authenticity and emotional depth, with many noting how it helped shift the genre away from commercial trends toward a more raw, expressive approach.

Wu-Tang Clan is embarking on their highly anticipated final tour, Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber, with Run the Jewels as special guests. The tour kicks off on June 6 in Baltimore, Maryland, and will span 27 dates across North America, including major stops in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Toronto and more, before concluding in Philadelphia on July 18.

All surviving original members—RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God and Masta Killa—will be joined by Cappadonna and Young Dirty Bastard, ensuring a full-force Wu-Tang experience for fans.

RZA has described the tour as a special opportunity to celebrate Wu-Tang’s legacy, promising a show unlike anything fans have seen, with deep cuts, classic hits, and songs never before performed live. Run the Jewels’ inclusion adds an extra layer of excitement, bringing their high-energy performances to the stage alongside Wu-Tang’s legendary catalog.

Key dates include June 21 in San Diego at Pechanga Arena, July 7 in Chicago at United Center, July 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York, July 17 at Prudential Center in Newark and the finale on July 18 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
