Modern Rap Music - The hidden Wu-Tang Clan album makes its debut for the first time.
Wu-Tang Clan, a well-known hip-hop group from New York, has sold millions of albums. One of their albums, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," is unique because it was pressed just once. Now, fans have the chance to hear this legendary CD.
According to an announcement by a museum, the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Tasmania, Australia, will play a 30-minute curated mix from the album twice a day, starting Saturday, June 15th. Interested parties can register on a waiting list to potentially listen to the work, which requires a minimum age of 18.
Mona's website states, "You'll hear of unique opportunities all the time: This is definitely one of them." The first studio album from the group, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," is a classic in hip-hop. It's known for its dark hip-hop style, which has been a major influence on the genre. The album was recorded between 2006 and 2013 and placed in a decorated silver box along with a double CD of 31 tracks. All digital files for the album were reportedly deleted.
The band wanted to make a statement against changes in the music industry and the threat of digital piracy with this album. It won't be commercially available until 2103, which is 88 years from now. However, Mona has taken advantage of the fact that free samples are allowed, and will play excerpts from the rarity daily at 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM until June 24th as part of the exhibition "Namedropping."
