Ghostface Killah has released his first album in five years, ‘Set the Tone (Guns & Roses)’.

The Wu-Tang Clan member has called in the likes of Nas, Raekwon, Method Man, Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes and more as collaborators on the project.

Killah’s track ‘Scar Tissue’ featuring Nas, marks the pair's third collaboration ever — despite being influential figures in hip hop, and closely associated due to their Wu-Tang Clan involvement since the early ‘90s.
