No Said Date is the 2004 (see 2004 in music) solo debut of Wu-Tang Clan member Masta Killa, an American hip hop musician. With dark and dramatic beats and samples from martial arts films (most notably, the song Masta Killa which featured samples by Bruce Lee), the album has a sound reminiscent of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
