Walking the Shinobi Path with YDB
Episode description
This week we’re joined by Young Dirty Bastard—Bar-Sun Unique Jones—the son of the legendary Ol’ Dirty Bastard from Wu-Tang Clan. YDB is stepping into a new creative lane with SEGA, dropping the track “The Path Has Just Begun” for the launch of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. This broadcast also marks the radio debut of the song—right here on WOND!
We dig into Wu-Tang’s lifelong love of kung fu, YDB’s summer on tour, his favorite games, and what it was like creating an original song for one of SEGA’s most iconic series. From hip-hop legacy to gaming culture, this conversation explores how music, martial arts, and video games collide—bridging generations in the process.
Joining the conversation are Esports on SI (Sports Illustrated) editor Trent Murray as co-host, alongside legendary Hollywood storyboard artist Warren Drummond and his son John Drummond.
Great interview. Great artist. Great game!
