The Wu-Tang leader records a song for the late South African statesman.

RZA has recorded a tribute to anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela, who passed away last week. The heart-on-sleeve ballad sees the Wu-Tang rapper and producer providing a piano backdrop for singer Will Wells.

As RZA explained in a message on Soundcloud, the song was also inspired by his experiences shooting the new Fox crime drama Gang Related.

Meanwhile, RZA has been trying to wrap up the new Wu-Tang Clan album, but Raekwon is yet to lay down his verses.
