Yahoo! Music, Dec 23, 1999 1:00 pm PST
(12/23/99, 1 p.m. ET) - Wu-Tang Clan members GZA/Genius, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Raekwon all released solo albums in 1999, but the Staten Island super group has plenty more in store for 2000. Raekwon told LAUNCH that his nine-man crew will continue expanding their entertainment empire in the new year.

"Wu-Tang got a lot more music coming out, such as myself. I'm having a new album coming out," he said. "Wu-Tang album is gonna be out around springtime. And basically, we just entrepreneur-ing into all type of things. You see we got the Play Station sh-t right now. We're working on the Wu-Cinemas, a movie theater."

Since debuting in 1993, the Wu-Tang Clan has always talked about its elaborate, far-reaching business plans; Raekwon said it's on its way. "Sh-t don't happen overnight," he added. "So just tune in for it. But we got mad things happening."
