Sunz Of Man - The Last Shall Be First (July 21, 1998) Remember earlier, when I said that my love of all things Wu has led to my spending a ridiculous amount of money on half- assed albums by Wu-Tang affiliates who aren't worthy enough to serve me my fries at Burger King? Sunz of Man realize that this is a problem and have hired outside producers like Wyclef Jean to add a different dimension to their sound. It works to a certain extent, but The Last Shall Be First doesn't quite offer a new dimension to the Wu formula. Of course, that doesn't mean it's a bad album.
The Last Shall Be First is the debut album of hip hop group Sunz of Man issued in 1998 on BMG Records. The album got to No. 20 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 7 on the BillboardTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[1][2][3]
