We're less than one week away from the new Wu-Tang Clan album A Better Tomorrow, which gives the New York rap crew enough time to share one more track before the album drops. The latest song to be shared from the album is its title track, though in a rather confusing twist, Wu-Tang Clan already released a song titled "A Better Tomorrow" on their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever, which is totally different from the one they shared today.
Though the original "A Better Tomorrow" sounds like classic Wu-Tang, with a tough beat and gritty samples, this new single is much smoother and more optimistic, featuring a prominent sample taken from "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. The track features verses from Method Man, Masta Killa, Cappadonna, and Raekwon.

Just in case you were curious, here's the other "A Better Tomorrow" that Wu-Tang Clan released back in 1997:
"A Better Tomorrow" is the fifth song to be shared from Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming album A Better Tomorrow, following "Necklace," "Ruckus in B Minor," "Ron O'Neal," and "Keep Watch." The album is set for release on Dec. 2, and will the group's sixth studio album overall, their first since 2007's 8 Diagrams.
"We're trailblazers in the music business," Raekwon said about Wu-Tang Clan and the challenges of keeping the group together in an interview on The Daily Show. "We've been around the world, we're doing our job. I consider this a sport, so I think it's important as an athlete of music to make sure that you've got your business together, make sure you feel happy with whatever you wanna do."
