Reviews

It is gratifying and very necessary that this volume has appeared at a time, nearly three decades after the Wu-Tang cipher emerged from Staten Island, when those outside of Hip-Hop culture are recognizing the massive social and cultural impact of these ten MCs on Hip-Hop, music, fashion, and scholarship across the world. With Wu-Tang re-inventing the terms of collaboration, production, and the music industry, this book reveals how the tendrils of the crew and their body of work has impacted a plethora of artists, scholars, and creatives. An immersive read that those from the culture and beyond will appreciate. - Richard J. Reddick, EdD
