Wu-Tang Clan's U-GOD to release a new solo album this year

The Wu-Tang Clan's U-God will release his sophomore solo album, Mr. Xcitement, later this year. The rapper said in a released statement, "(People) don't realize the U in U-God stands for universal. It means no boundaries, infinity, it goes on forever." The rapper added, "Mr. Xcitement ain't just about partying, there is more to the album, I took my time -- I didn't rush the s**t."


U-God released his solo debut, Golden Arms Redemption, in 1999. The rapper released a compilation, Ugodz-Illa Presents: The Hillside Scramblers, last year.
