We can hardly believe it’s been ten years since the passing of Russell Tyrone Jones, AKA Big Baby Jesus, AKA Ason Unique, AKA Dirt McGirt, AKA the Wu-Tang Clan’s lovable loose-cannon-in-residence Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

In his exclusive mix for Dazed, NYC producer Tanner pays funky tribute to a much-missed talent whose unhinged creativity on the mic remains without peer even to this day.

Founding the group alongside cousins Robert “RZA” Diggs and Gary “GZA” Grice in the early 80s, ODB lit up the Wu’s early releases and subsequent solo records with his frequently off-the-chain verses.

Jones’ constant scrapes with the law and eccentric behaviour spoke to a troubled character, but ultimately helped cement his legend: he was reportedly fond of returning to his old Brooklyn neighbourhood to hand out money on the streets, yet famously collected food stamps in a limo on MTV in 1995.

His hedonistic lifestyle finally caught up with him in 2004, when he fatally overdosed on a mixture of cocaine and tramadol. But his surreal brand of potty-mouthed poetry lives on.
