Season 1:
The RZA, The GZA, 'Ol Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon The Chef, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Cappadonna, Masta Killa and Method Man cut a song, Protect Ya Neck, and the world hasn't been the same since.
Wu-Tang Clan's underground rap single blows up and business moved fast. Despite their success, things were going on back home in the projects that affected their friends and family - the Wu weren't immune to it. Nor were they bulletproof.
The sweet smell of success was intoxicating but the death of a friend changed the way each member saw the world and the Wu. The members would all go on to have successful solo careers, and Wu-Tang's global footprint was massive.
Twenty-five years in, a family looks to cement a legacy. 'Ol Dirty is dead. Everybody has gone solo. The 'W' is fading. Yet Wu-Tang Clan, their logo, music and their message remain indelible fixtures in the history of music and America.
