" The legacy of Sunz Of Man returns in a powerful and carefully restored form with Da Last Future, a release that bridges past and present in a way never heard before. This project is more than just an album, it’s a reconstruction of history, offering listeners a renewed perspective on some of the group’s most essential material.
Before they were known as Sunz Of Man, the group originally operated under the name Da Last Future. In 1994, they released their very first 12” single, marking the beginning of their journey. At that time, the foundation of the crew was formed by four core emcees: Hell Razah, Prodigal Sunn, 7th Ambassador, and Killah Priest, alongside producer Su-Preme. As the group evolved into Sunz Of Man, the lineup expanded with the addition of 60 Second Assassin (notably Ol' Dirty Bastard’s cousin) and Shabazz the Disciple, further shaping their identity.
By 1995, the group had secured a deal with Wu-Tang/Priority Records, solidifying their place within the extended Wu-Tang movement. Their rise culminated in the release of The Last Shall Be First in 1998, a landmark album that reached No. 20 on the Billboard 200 and No. 7 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, cementing their legacy in hip-hop history.
A number of tracks featured on Da Last Future originate from The First Testament, but they appear here in reworked versions, presented with entirely new mixes. Several mid-90s unreleased tracks also appear on the project, further enriching this deep dive into the group’s early era. For the first time ever, these recordings are available in their highest possible quality, the result of an extensive audio restoration process carried out by multiple skilled sound engineers. Every effort has been made to preserve the original spirit while elevating the sound to modern standards.
The outcome is nothing less than the best, cleanest, and most refined Sunz Of Man material ever released on a physical format, delivering a listening experience that does justice to the group’s enduring influence and raw artistry." - courtesy of Back2DaSource Records
