Wu-Tang Clan’s Rare Album ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin’ Now Available as Five-Minute, $1 Sampler


Wu-Tang Clan's rare double album 'Once Upon a Time in Shaolin' is now available to preview as a $1, five-minute sampler.

After the much-storied, one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” has been the subject of ownership issues as recently as this week, current rights holder PleasrDAO is finally making it available to the public — at least, five minutes of it. “On March 2, 2015, RZA and Civalringz brought together 150 art experts, rap fans, and potential buyers to present a unique Listening Session of a sample of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” it reads. “Shaolin” was initially sold in 2015 to the notorious “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli, and as part of the terms, the double album could not be commercially exploited in full for 88 years.
