The Wu-Tang Clan, the legendary kings of rap, espers buried deep within their 36th chamber of skill, come forth into a land on the brink of destruction. The evil magic-abusing warlord Kefka holds legions of rappers and producers under his iron grip, using his Slave Crowns to make us work for him. The Wu-Tang are able to free me, but I still have to prove my skills in remixing if I am to join them in battle. Come with me on an audio journey chronicling my love for the Wu-Tang Clan’s music and culture and the story and themes of one of my favorite video games of all time. Happy 20th birthday, Final Fantasy 3-6. You’ve aged extremely well.

I hope this epic conclusion to my mashup trilogy will satisfy both newcomers and fans who have stayed with me throughout all three of the albums. Whether you are a Wu fan, a classic RPG gamer or both, I hope you find plenty to amuse and entertain you here. I love you all dearly, and I thank you so much for your voracious appetite for my music and constant attention towards my new releases, no matter what they are. I hope you keep listening with me in the future.

Thanks to the Wu-Tang Clan and friends for providing the awesome voices, and thanks to the legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu for creating the beautiful themes that I adapted to the hip-hop style. Thank you, Kjre, for being this album’s first biggest fan. Thank you, Maros, for coming in at the last minute to give me the cover art this project was waiting for. Thanks to Madhatter, head of Scrub Club Records, for always supporting these odd projects and giving me a place to host them.
