Wu-Tang Clan discuss future plans

Raekwon has revealed that the Wu-Tang Clan will spend their upcoming European tour talking about their future plans, including an American tour.

The rapper, whose real name is Corey Woods, said that although an album is not currently planned, the group have been in touch about potential projects.

He told NME: "The main focus of this tour is to familiarise everybody with the brand and let everyone know that we love coming back and forth to Europe. It wasn’t really having no concept to it as far as we're going to do a record at the moment.

"It gives us a couple of weeks to really sit there and say to ourselves, 'What can we do? Can this work?' Everybody has their own agenda and what kind of music they're going to be giving us. We've already been talking, so in the future I just say respect the heat that's about to come because we got some more things up our sleeve."

Speaking of the potential US tour, Raekwon said: "Hopefully it can happen but it has to make sense, and it has to be properly scheduled because everyone has other things they're working on at the moment, and you know sometimes that causes a little clash with the ideas that we want to try to create."

The Wu-Tang Clan, made up of Method Man, Mastakilla, GZA, Ghostface, U-God, Raekwon, RZA, Mathematics, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna and Streetlife, have not played in London as a whole since 2007.

Raekwon added: "Nine times out of ten when we’re all together there are so many classic records we just try to go straight to the jugular with the records we know are really classic-sounding music for the tour."
