RZA spoke to Billboard.com today about his upcoming album, Chamber Music , and expressed that the CD is not a Wu-Tang Clan album.

"I think the ['Chamber Music'] title is very fitting," he said. "This music is totally in the chamber, or in the mind-frame of Wu-Tang like in the [Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)] days. But it's not a Wu-Tang album. The whole Clan's not on this album. But it couldn't be in any other category but Wu-Tang."

Although RZA, who takes the role of executive producer of the album, assures that the CD is not officially a Wu project, the album is definitely Wu-inspired, holding the signature Wu sound and featuring Clan members Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and U-God.

The album will also feature Kool G Rap, AZ, Havoc, Sean Price and a few others.

Chamber Music is set for release on June 30 via E1 Records.

The entertainer shared his experience:

"[In the township of Khayelitsha], tiny pastel-colored makeshift shacks huddled together like tetris blocks. Over six million South Africans impoverished and at high risk for HIV infection, among many other diseases that come with the conditions they're forced to live in."

McCoy continued to express his heartfelt sentiments on the issue in the blog. To read about his experience in South Africa, .
