New York rap stalwart and Wu-Tang veteran Ghostface Killah has shared a new video for ‘Scar Face’ featuring Nas.

Stream Set The Tone here via Mass Appeal.

Set The Tone is Ghostface Killah’s first full-length project since 2019’s Ghostface Killahs, and his first release on Mass Appeal. The new album includes a who’s who of big-name collaborations with Nas, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Sheek Louch, Ja Rule, Jim Jones, Trevor Jackson, October London, Bee-B, and more. Set The Tone also includes the previously released single ‘YUPP!‘ featuring Remy Ma, which Stereogum described as “a stripped-back neck-jerk track that uncorks all the frenzied bug-out energy that made Ghost a legend in the first case.” The rap titan’s latest offering was conceived after years of Ghostface making prominent appearances on albums from Kendrick Lamar (Mr. Morale andamp; the Big Steppers) and Westside Gunn (10), among others.

Elsewhere, Ghostface is gearing up for a performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre next month (June 29) for the ‘Masters of Ceremony’ hip-hop concert. The Wu-Tang rapper will be joined by Pusha T, The LOX, Ja Rule, Jim Jones, Jeremih, and other artists.

Over the years, Ghostface has maintained his position as one of the most culturally relevant artists for entire generations. Candidly, he has nothing left to prove. And yet, the legendary rapper continues to set the bar high for hip-hop whenever he decides to spit a verse.
