Originally released in 1998, Dirty Weaponry is the uncompromising second album from Killarmy, the Wu-Tang affiliate squad known for their militant aesthetic, razor-sharp lyricism, and Five Percenter worldview. Executive produced by RZA, the album is primarily helmed by 4th Disciple, whose dark, layered production once again provides the crew with a sonic battlefield— having shaped much of their 1997 debut Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. RZA also contributes the haunting "Where I Rest At," adding his signature grit to the project.
Three standout tracks define the album’s lasting impact: “The Shoot Out,” the lead single and street video staple; “5 Stages of Consciousness,” a brooding fan-favorite that’s grown into one of their most-streamed tracks; and “Red Dawn,” a relentless barrage of lyrical warfare. Together, these cuts showcase Killarmy’s unwavering commitment to militant rap at its finest.
Now, 27 years later, Dirty Weaponry returns to wax in a remastered collector’s edition reissue. Presented by Granddaddy Flow Entertainment in collaboration with Coalmine Reissues, this pressing stands as a lasting tribute to one of the most tactical and uncompromising forces in the Wu-Tang legacy.
