Wu-Syndicate is a group from Virginia consisting of Joe Mafia, Napoleon, and Myalansky (who has named himself after the real life gangster Meyer Lansky). They were originally called Crime Syndicate but changed their name to Wu-Syndicate when they signed to Wu-Tang Records and became Wu-Tang Clan affiliates. After debuting on the compilation Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm in 1998, their self-titled debut album Wu-Syndicate was released in 1999 on both Wu-Tang Records and their own label Slot Time Records. It featured their associate Napolean heavily, as a featured third member. The album was, like most releases from Wu-Tang Clan affiliates during this time, moderately successful in sales. Soon after the release there was a dispute of an unknown origin between the group and Wu-Tang Records and the group briefly changed their name to The Syndicate until 2009 with the release of their second official album Grimlenz.
Joe Mafia released his debut solo album This One in 2002 and founded his own label called 58 West Diamond Street Records. Napoleon, a featured third member, released his first solo album, Kingpin Wit Da Inkpen in 2007 and Mark of the Beast in 2011. Myalansky released his first solo album, Drastic Measures in 2008.

This One (song)
"This One" is a single from Paul McCartney's 1989 album, Flowers in the Dirt. The song reached number 18 on the UK singles chart. It also reached number 8 on the Ö3 Austria Top 40 in Austria, number 31 in the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands and number 40 on the Media Control Charts in Germany.
Like other songs from Flowers in the Dirt, despite the song's modest chart success, to date it has not been included on any McCartney compilation album.
Reception
Allmusic called the song "lovely".Rolling Stone opined:"This One," likewise, extends its cute, lyrical conceit for too long and winds up taxing the listener's patience.
Track listings
This song was released as a 7" single, a 12" maxi-single, and a CD single.
