Pablo Torre podcast shares rare snippets from Wu-Tang Clan’s unreleased Once Upon A Time in Shaolin album

Pablo Torre Finds Out published an episode about Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time in Shaolin and included two snippets from the famously hard-to-hear album. The only copy was bought by Martin Shkreli in 2015, later forfeited to the US government, and sold in 2021 to PleasrDAO; the album cannot be commercially released until 2103.

For media and rights-management teams, the key detail is that ownership of the sole copy changed hands while commercial release remains barred until 2103. That means access can generate attention through limited excerpts, but distribution and monetization decisions still hinge on contract restrictions; the article does not clarify how much more audio can legally be shared.
