This hip-hop collective from the east coast of the United States was once founded to storm the American music industry with united forces (nine MCs). After this was achieved in 1993 with the controversial debut Enter The Wu-Tang, the individual members went one by one on the solo path.

Yet most members seem to realize that they are the strongest as a 'clan', because Iron Flag is released soon after the album The W (from 2000). It is an album on which all the familiar elements of the Wu-Tang sound are represented. The fat hip-hop with deep bass drums, funky samples and rake, militant raps still sounds relevant. (MS)more
