Ghostface Killah Returns With Even More Fish

Tuesday - November 14, 2006

The Wu's Ghostface Killah doesn't know how to sit back and relax. Less than 10 months after releasing one of the most acclaimed albums of the year -- Fishscale -- the rapper is back with the surprising sequel, More Fish.

The new album finds Ghost on a creative roll, picking up right where Fishscale left off -- with the kind of raw, uncut, uncompromising, soulful street rhymes only Tony Starks can deliver.

Last year's release received rave reviews. The New York Times said, "When you get a new Ghostface Killah album, the only reasonable reaction is to get lost in it."

As one of the last of the Wu members to be heralded by critics consistently, Ghost continues to put out great music at an alarmingly prolific rate. Tracks like the Racism inspired "Ghost Is Back," and the albums' first single -- the club banger “Good" – bristle with energy, Ghost's legendary mic skills return in top form.

This time around, however, Ghost has a little help. The album includes guest appearances by the rapper's longtime Staten Island crew, The Theodore Unit: Trife Da God, Cappadonna, Shawn Wiggs, and Ghost's 17-year-old son, Sun God.

It also boasts production by underground producers who made Fishscale an instant classic. MF Doom mans the boards on "Cartoonz" and the Hardy Boys-themed "Stones From Greece." Madlib contributes "Untitled," while Pete Rock lays down "Chunky." On "Josephine," one of the album's standout tracks, Ghost laments life in the drug-addled projects over a deep, mid-tempo soul sample from Hi-Tek.

More Fish is set for release December 12 on Def Jam Records
