Wu-Tang Clan’s own Street Life returns with his newest single titled “Story of My Life,” tapping frequent collaborator Method Man. The record is produced by K Def and serves as the second single from Street Life’s forthcoming album of the same name, Story of My Life, slated to be released this summer via Street Education / Distrolord Inc.
Method Man and Street Life’s relationship spans back to their childhood days in Staten Island. While the two have collaborated on music for decades, this is their long rumored first official full length album together. Their previous collab, “Squad Up,” is the Yankees 2021 team song and will be heard during the opening day performance on April 1st, 2021 at Yankees Stadium. The record currently hails over 3 million streams on Spotify, 3 million streams on Apple Music, and 3.3 million views on Youtube.
“Squad Up” claws with a menacing beat and Method Man, Street and Havoc each pay homage to Mobb Deep’s Prodigy on their verses. The history between Mobb Deep and Method Man goes back to 1995 and includes Meth’s appearance on “Exortion” from Mobb Deep’s Hell On Earth. Mobb Deep also appeared on “Play 4 Keeps” on Meth’s Tical 2000, which also features Street Life.
Street Life played an instrumental role in writing the hook to Method Man’s 1996 “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By,” featuring Mary J. Blige which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. He’s been featured on all of Method Man’s albums, and all of Wu-Tang Clan’s albums (except for Enter The 36 Chambers).
Street Life and Method Man’s long list of collaborations together includes Mr Sandman, Run For Cover, Dangerous Grounds, Thing, Built for This and Straight Gutter. Method Man Presents Street Life: Street Education (2005) is Street Life’s first and only official full length release until now.
