When we had producer/multi-instrument wiz Adrian Younge up here for an interview with his PRhyme companions Royce Da 5'9" and DJ Premier back in November, he told us off-record that a second installment of Twelve Reasons To Die, his 2013 record with Ghostface Killah, was on the way. Now we've got concrete proof in the form of a new track. This is "Return Of The Savage," and it features Raekwon and RZA.

Led by Younge's impeccable brand of retro-soul, the track is lush as ever, and led by a storyline to boot. With Rae name-checking the DeLuca family, the main focus of Ghostface's ire on the first 12 Reasons..., it looks like his revenge-driven tale will pick up where it left off on the new project. 

Quotable Lyrics

When he realized a real live G was about to serve him
60 pieces flew through his jaw, closin' his curtains
Now it's total chaos, people runnin' for their lives
The other cocksuckers tried reachin' for their hammers
