Warner Bros. Records announced Friday that it signed a global recording contract with legendary Staten Island rap collective the Wu-Tang Clan, including RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna.
In the words of Ghostface, when it comes to being signed to Warner Bros., ‘We’re getting Bugs Bunny money.'”
Cameron Strang, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Records, told Billboard magazine, “Wu-Tang Clan is responsible for creating a deep discography of iconic rap music, spawning incredibly successful careers for each of the group’s individual members, and launching Wu-Tang into a full-fledged brand beyond their music. Two decades on, they remain a major force in hip hop. I speak for everyone on our team when I say how thrilled we are to be the new home for one of hip hop’s most influential groups. This is an exciting day in the history of Warner Bros. Records, and we can’t wait to contribute to the next phase of their careers.”
