Description
American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan will play Vancouver’s PNE Amphitheatre on July 2, 25 years after the release of their first album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
Formed in Staten Island, New York City in the early 90s by RZA, they are famous for revolutionizing hip-hop, fusing raw sounds, grimy beats, and martial arts themes.
Their first offering Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) was added to the National Recording Registry of the US Library of Congress in April 2022 in recognition of how it “shape[d] the sound of hardcore rap and reasserted the creative capacity of the East Coast rap scene.” Considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group of all time, the band has sold over 40 million albums to date and hots include “C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)” and “Protect Ya Neck,”
Wu-Tang Clan has three platinum albums among their eight long plays, and the group’s complete anthology (including solo albums) has more than 85 full-length releases. More than just rappers, Wu-Tang Clan are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers, with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.
