The Wu-Tang Clan and its founding producer and DJ Mathematics partner with SoundCloud to launch the “Warriors Two, Cooley High” Open Verse.
The Wu-Tang Clan and founding DJ/producer Mathematics have joined forces with SoundCloud to launch the “Warriors Two, Cooley High” Open Verse—a global hip-hop initiative spotlighting lyrical skill, raw storytelling, and rising talent from around the world.
Inspired by the energy of Warriors and Cooley High, Mathematics’ new track features Benny the Butcher in a nostalgic Wu banger. Now, fans and up-and-coming MCs are being invited to spit their best bars over the official beat in a SoundCloud-powered Open Verse that channels the spirit of hip-hop’s golden era.
Mathematics lays down a raw beat that evokes classic East Coast energy with a cinematic edge. The Clan is passing the mic, challenging aspiring MCs worldwide to “drop their best 16 over the track and show they’re worthy to stand among the greats.”
“This is an invitation to show and prove,” said Mathematics. “Wu-Tang has always been a brotherhood of bars and beats and we’re opening up the gates for the next warrior to step into the arena.”
Interested emcees should download the official open verse track from the SoundCloud Store and record and upload their 16-bar verse over the instrumental to SoundCloud using the hashtag #WarriorsTwoOpenVerse. Artists are encouraged to share their track to socials and tag @WuTangClan, @MathematicsWU, and @SoundCloud.
Mathematics and the Wu-Tang Clan will be keeping an ear out for standout remixes, with their favorite tracks featured in an official playlist on Wu-Tang’s SoundCloud account. The campaign ends August 15,2025.
Mathematics’ journey with Wu-Tang is highlighted in season two of Wu-Tang: An American Saga on Hulu, where he recreated over 15 early Wu-Tang sketches and advised on the show’s authenticity. Beyond DJing, Mathematics is the owner of All Maf Productions and has performed at major festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, showcasing his versatility across genres like hip-hop, EDM, and trap.
He debuted as a solo artist with Love, Hell or Right (2003) and later produced Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues (2017), which topped indie and rap charts. His artistic contributions also include the logo for RZA as well as GZA’s Liquid Swords album cover, cementing his legacy as a key figure in Wu-Tang’s history.
