Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (NAD23)

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is the debut studio album by the American hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, originally released on November 9, 1993.

The gritty, distinctive sound of Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) created a blueprint for hardcore hip-hop during the 1990s, and helped return New York City hip-hop to national prominence. Its sound also became greatly influential in modern hip-hop production, while the group members’ explicit, humorous, and free-associative lyrics have served as a template for many subsequent rap records. Serving as a landmark release in the era of hip-hop known as the East Coast Renaissance, its influence helped lead the way for several other East Coast rappers, including Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and Jay-Z.
