Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge join forces for the sequel to 2013’s 12 Reasons to Die album titled 12 Reasons to Die II featuring Rza, Raekwon, Bilal, Vince Staples, and more. The Mafioso concept album is entirely composed, produced and performed chiefly by Younge and told through Ghostface's visceral rhymes. The storyline has officially developed into a cinematic album series with this project serving as the darker and more sinister predecessor to part 1; musically taking inspiration from vintage Italian horror scores with classic Wu Tang production.

Recorded entirely on analog tape for the original warm texture of old soul vinyl albums, Adrian’s vintage sound is a breath of fresh air on this LP complimented by classic Tony Starks story telling. While the Rza has been enlisted to narrate the complex storyline, Raekwon appears as one of the main characters on the album in timely fashion; with 2015 marking the 20th anniversary of his critically lauded Hip Hop classic featuring Ghost, Only Built For Cuban Linx.

12 Reasons to Die Part II is set in the grimy streets of mid-1970s New York City. Descendants of the DeLucas are running the city but a new and powerful crime syndicate is rising, commanded by black gangster Lester Kane (personified by Raekwon). As his power grows, Kane takes on the DeLucas and a war ensues. Kane has always known the legend of Tony Starks, who was killed by the DeLucas in Italy (in part 1) and whose remains were partially used to create twelve vinyl records. When played back in the “old world,” the Ghostface Killer rose and destroyed the Italian faction. Enter 12 Reasons to Die Part II.
