GP Wu

Relatively minor stars in the Wu-tang constellation, Gp Wu released their debut, Don't Go Against The Grain, in 1998. That album was produced by Daddy O from Stetsasonic and Hank Shocklee of Bomb Squad and Public Enemy fame, making the Wu-tang connection even more tenuous. However, as Wu-tang Clan historians will undoubtedly know, the four Gp Wu members -- Rubberbands, June Luva, Pop Da Brown Hornet, and Down Low Recka -- all made appearances on Shyheim's first two albums, Shyheim A/k/a The Rugged Child (1994) and Lost Generation (1996). The connection was made indelible on Shyheim's Manchild album cover from 1999, featuring the shirtless MC with a Gp Wu tattoo on his bicep. ~ Wade Kergan, All Music Guide
