The upcoming reissue is set to feature a total of 43 tracks and will include a remaster of the original 17, along with previously unreleased tracks and instrumentals that weren’t officially available on digital platforms.
“My children and I are beyond excited to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of my late husband’s album, Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version,” Icelene Jones, ODB’s widow, said in a press release. “We are even more excited and appreciative of the fans, who have never wavered in their support for ODB, and have honored his talent with a platinum album this year!”
