I’m going to be upfront – I don’t listen to rap very often. Not that I hate it or anything, I just never really got into it. But that has been changing, and the latest album by Wu-Tang Clan’s own Ghostface Killah, Twelve Reasons to Die, will likely further that progression. The album delivers 12 solid, killer hip-hop tracks that’ll be a surefire hit with any Wu-Tang or Ghostface fan.
Twelve Reasons to Die is essentially a concept album that composer Adrian Younge describes as the score to a vintage Italian crime/horror movie, citing RZA and composer Ennio Morricone as inspirations. Set in ‘60s Italy, the album tells the story of Ghostface Killah’s character Tony Starks, a former enforcer for the DeLuca crime family. After leaving them, he starts up his own syndicate and falls in love with a woman in the DeLuca circle and is thusly killed. His remains are melted into vinyl, and he returns as the Ghostface Killah. It’s pretty high-concept, and this is enforced by the composition. Younge goes for a late ’60s film score sound, and it really works.

songs are short rapid-fire barrages of aggression, with most tracks leveling out at around 2-3 minutes; the album itself clocks in at just under 40 minutes. As a fan of punk music, a genre characterized by short, aggressive songs, I welcome this. The songs have a tight composition and rhythm, offering a look into the psyches of Ghostface and Younge. Considering that the album centers around Ghostface getting bloody revenge on the crime family that murdered him, the album is fittingly violent. Songs with titles like “Murder Spree,” “I Declare War,” and “Revenge is Sweet” exemplify this to a T. The album has a pretty solid opener in “Beware of the Stare,” and maintains that level of quality consistently through the rest of the album. “The Sure Shot (Parts 1 and 2)” and “Rise of the Ghostface Killah” are particular standouts.
The album was released with a companion comic book that delves into greater detail about Ghostface’s revenge story. Released through Black Mask Studios, the comic book features contributions from several different comic artists. With Twelve Reasons to Die, Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge deliver an ambitious hip hop concept album with full force and
