While it ain’t a spanking new release, Ghostface Killah’s tour de force album Fishscale deserves some recognition as one of the greatest hip-hop albums to come from the Wu-Tang camp. As we patiently await the release of the MF Doom x Ghostface album (supposedly happening this year), Fishscale provides good beats & samples laced with characteristic Ghostface bawls. Although this record is littered with a few cheesy catered-for-radio hits, it pounds hard thanks to some of the tracks being produced by soundroom legend J Dilla and even MF Doom himself. Even with the always-present and sometimes unbearable skits, the entire record is listenable and worth the purchase. – Kelly D. Williams, Mannerist Zine
