Last year Martin Shkreli purchased the only copy of the Wu-Tang album, “One Upon A Time In Shaolin,” for a total of $2 million dollars.
According to Complex, Shkreli made a promise to Wu-Tang fans that if Donald Trump won the presidential election, he would share snippets from the album.
By now we all know Donald Trump has won the presidential election, and Shkreli has kept his promise. He shared snippets of the album through a live stream and talked about negotiating a wider release for the album.
At one point many people were convinced that he was going to destroy the album after getting into it with both Ghostface Killah and RZA over his ownership of the album.
At this time it is unclear on how the members of Wu-Tang feel about a wider release of the album, especially since the buyer of the album was obligated to not share the project until 88 years following it’s purchase.
So we’ll have to wait and see if more of the album will be released, or if these snippets will be the only listen we’ll get.
Here are the snippets are below:
