It’s a well-known fact that Wu-Tang Clan “ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with,” which may be why the nine original emcees (and savvy businessmen) landed such a sweet record deal back in ’93. Their successful strategy was to maximize cash flow by making it big as a group, then create as many solo and side projects as possible.

The group is far more than a loose collective of talented rappers. Each member is now a superstar in his own right, as well as a vital player in the dream team that is the Wu-Tang Clan. Growing even better with age, Wu-Tang comes correct with a killer new album, The 8 Diagrams, and a highly anticipated tour in support of said album.

Join RZA, GZA, Raekwon the Chef, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, U-God, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard -- who will most certainly be there in spirit -- for a family reunion you’d be a fool to miss.
