N+I.W.A (Niggaz plus Indian with Attitude)

While rumours have been swirling about the possibility of a formal collaboration between the pair for sometime, Khan is finally ready to confirm that it looks like the union is going ahead. Don’t expect The Shrines’ eccentric frontman to pass himself off as the first Indian-Canadian member of Wu-Tang Clan just yet though. “The whole thing is really surreal,” he says, clearly still trying to wrap his head around the amazing turn of events.

The union marks the second time that GZA has reached out to the garage rock community for musical input. Khan’s rambunctious Almighty Defender bandmates, Black Lips, first performed along side the famed hip-hoper at SXSW this past March and subsequently recorded ‘The Drop I Hold’ with the urban pioneer.

As for what Khan has in store for his hip-hop producing debut, the garage rock troubadour remains tight-lipped. From the sounds of the feisty track he originally sent GZA — a song Khan describes as “old-school Wu-Tang style with some real awesome soul samples” — fans of both Khan and the iconic rapper won’t be disappointed.

In the meantime, Khan also announced a mid-November release date for the “Doo-Wop-laced, anthemic garage rock” album ‘Invisible Girl,’ the first new King Khan & BBQ Show full-length in three years, as well as a 31-date fall tour beginning Oct. 17 in Portland, Ore.

King Khan loves himself some involvement in everything.
