Long-lost Ol’ Dirty Bastard track surfaces online

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
It’s been over a decade since the death of Russell Jones, a.k.a. Ol’ Dirty Bastard, the wild, charismatic heart of the Staten Island-based rap collective known as the Wu-Tang Clan. But as fans of Jimi Hendrix, Tupac Shakur or Kurt Cobain can attest, death doesn’t necessarily mean an end to new music. That odd modern truism was proven once again today, when seemingly out of nowhere, a new track by the man they called ODB. “Obey Me,” dropped online. Released as part of a promotional campaign for the speaker company Boombot, Dirty originally laid the rap down around 1995 while recording his debut solo record, Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version.
