On Thursday, Amazon Music released an exclusive mini-documentary on one of hip-hop’s most entertaining personas. Unique: ‘Return to the 36 Chambers’ 25 Years Later‘ follows the early life and career of Wu-Tang’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
The documentary features never-before-seen freestyles and footage. Additionally, friends like RZA and Raekwon take part in extensive interviews. ODB’s widow, Icelene Jones, as well as his son Barsun Unique Jones also appear.
25 years ago on Saturday, Ol Dirty Bastard released his debut album on Elektra Records. His former label A&R, Dante Ross, also provides insight for the series.
In addition to Unique, Rhino Records is releasing a brand-new, 43-track Deluxe Edition of Return to the 36 Chambers. The label newly remastered the album for the re-release, with unreleased “stripped” versions of favorites like “Brooklyn Zoo” and “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.”
