# Ghostface Killah Reveals ‘Twelve Reasons to Die’

Always known as one of the most larger-than-life and colourful artists in hip hop, **Ghostface Killah** is teaming with *Black Dynamite* composer **Adrian Younge** for the new collaborative album *Twelve Reasons to Die*.

Dropping on April 16, the album appears to take a cinematic approach, like much of Wu-Tang Clan’s past work. Executive produced by the [RZA](https://www.stasheverything.com/lifestyle/film-review-the-man-with-the-iron-fists/), the album will apparently be a mixture of “classic 36 Chambers-era RZA with Portishead, and the Italian film music of Ennio Morricone.”

*Twelve Reasons to Die*will be available as astandard CD and a deluxe double-CD with instrumentals and a mini comic book, as well as vinyl and cassette versions. Black Mask Studios will produce a six-issue comic book series, along with a graphic novel.

In support of the album, Ghostface and Younge will be performing with a live band at Venice Dawn on March 14, as part of SXSW, along with a handful of other dates until June.

The first single, *The Rise of the Ghostface Killah*, is available for [streaming here](http://soultemplemusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-rise-of-the-ghostface-killah).
