Wu-Tang Clan – Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Released: 1993 | Loud Records / RCA / Wu-Tang Records | Original US Pressing | LP

The groundbreaking debut album from Wu-Tang Clan, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is one of the defining records of 1990s hip-hop.

Released in November 1993, the album introduced the world to the full Wu-Tang Clan collective, combining RZA’s raw, sample-heavy production with the distinctive styles of its nine original members. Recorded at Firehouse Studio in New York, its gritty sound and martial-arts-inspired aesthetic became hugely influential on the development of hardcore East Coast hip-hop.

The album includes some of Wu-Tang’s most recognisable tracks, including C.R.E.A.M., Protect Ya Neck, Method Man, Da Mystery of Chessboxin’ and Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F’ Wit.
