Wu-Tang’s Mathematics to Drop Groundbreaking Album Black Samson, the Bastard Swordsman with 5,000 Unique Vinyl Covers

Renowned Wu-Tang Clan producer and creative mastermind Mathematics is set to drop a truly groundbreaking project. His upcoming album, Black Samson, the Bastard Swordsman, arrives April 12 as part of an ultra-limited Record Store Day release—but this is no ordinary vinyl drop.

In a move that blurs the lines between fine art, hip-hop memorabilia, and collector culture, each of the 5,000 vinyl copies will feature a completely unique, 1-of-1 album cover. That’s right—every single edition of Black Samson will have its own original artwork, transforming the release into a historic collector’s experience that fuses music and visual storytelling like never before.

This one-of-a-kind release isn’t just for die-hard Wu-Tang fans—it’s a statement piece for art collectors, crate diggers, and hip-hop heads alike.

“This isn’t just an album—it’s a living archive of hip-hop culture,” says Mathematics. “Each cover tells its own story. This is about legacy.”

The music itself is just as epic as the packaging. The album features all nine original Wu-Tang Clan members, and includes an elite lineup of guests: Kool G Rap, Benny The Butcher, 38 Spesh, Crooked I, R.J. Payne, Willie The Kid, Nicole Bus, Kameron Corvet, and Kurupt.

From Staten Island swordsmanship to raw lyrical warfare, Black Samson, the Bastard Swordsman promises to be both a sonic and visual journey—infused with the gritty innovation that’s defined Wu-Tang since day one.

As Record Store Day approaches, collectors and fans are already buzzing about the drop. With only 5,000 one-of-a-kind copies available, this isn’t just an album release—it’s hip-hop history in physical form.

Mark your calendars: April 12. Vinyl, visual art, and Wu-Tang wisdom collide.
