The Wu-Tang Clan is a New York City–based hip-hop musical group, consisting of 9 American rappers: RZA, GZA, Raekwon, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Masta Killa, and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard.
One of the most critically and commercially successful hip hop groups of all time, Wu-Tang Clan rose to fame with their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music. Since their debut, they have introduced or launched the careers of numerous other artists and groups, and already in 1994 there were credited to be over 300 Wu-Tang Clan affiliates,[1] known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, consisting of rappers, producers, and record label CEOs.[2] RZA stated that Wu-Tang Clan has sold around 40 million records around the world. That is if you add up the albums from every single MC from the Clan, plus the Wu-Tang itself.
This discography does not include solo releases from its individual members, or from its many affiliates.
