Dave East recently expressed his excitement for the third season of Wu Tang: An American Saga, which begins February 15 on Hulu. While participating in an interview with Baller Allert on the Grammys red carpet, they asked him what fans can expect from this new chapter. "It's the best season," the New York MC expressed. "I think this the season that the world's going to be able to identify the most with. I feel like season one and two is, like, stuff you didn't know about them. You know what I mean? Getting to know their stories. Season three, I'm, like, really Meth. I look like Meth for real, I got the fangs and all that. It's dope the way RZA did it this season."

Moreover, Method Man himself had a standout moment at the awards ceremony. Alongside a host of other legendary hip-hop artist, he took the stage for a performance commemorating hip-hop's 50th anniversary. Furthermore, the Wu-Tang member appeared to deliver a bit from his classic 36 Chambers track, "Method Man." In fact, one of the most viral clips from that performance showed Jay-Z rapping the verse along with him. While no other Clan member appeared to perform, Meth represented the collective with pride, skill, and energy. Also, the performance hosted other groups (whether partially or in full) like Geto Boys, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and The LOX. In addition, individual performers included Rakim, GloRilla, Too $hort, Ice-T, Missy Elliott, Lil Baby, LL Cool J, and Queen Latifah.

Furthermore, the actor for Ol' Dirty Bastard in the series, TJ Atoms, spoke on what fans will see in Season 3. “For the story, you’re going to see what unfolds when the different members get signed to different labels,” he remarked. “And we’ll see what happens when they really start doing the Wu-Tang thing for real. We’re probably going to see tours and shows. A lot of performances and drama, for sure, because RZA was making all the decisions.

"Everybody didn’t agree with RZA’s decisions," Atoms continued. "I don’t know if everybody [was unhappy], but I know some people were probably not as happy with RZA making decisions on their behalf, so we’re going to see a lot of this and a lot of that." Are you excited for the new season of Wu Tang: An American Saga, and are you looking forward to Dave East's performance? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below.
