On June 3rd, 1997 – 25 years ago today, Wu-Tang Clan unleashed their history-making GRAMMY® Award-nominated double-disc opus, WU-TANG FOREVER and changed the face of hip-hop forever.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Wu-Tang Clan’s WU-TANG FOREVER, Get On Down, Legacy Recordings – the catalogue division of Sony Music Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment Australia have released an anniversary collection which includes the album with a lyric booklet, a silver coloured 7-inch single of ‘Triumph’ with ‘Heaterz’ on the B-side in a picture sleeve and a reissue of the double cassette in a slip case.

Continuing this celebration, Wu-Tang have shared a new instalment series of newly unearthed video interviews from 1997 conducted on the set of the iconic ‘Triumph’ video shoot. They took a break from the 5-day shoot in 1997 to talk about their history, their lives, their inspiration, who they were listening to and what ‘Triumph’ & the Wu-Tang meant to them.

In an ode to New York City, the group has shared a “New York Is Home” visual playlist on YouTube. This pays homage to Wu-Tang with cinematic location-based shots throughout their borough of Staten Island and the rest of New York City. Treated footage with gritty textures and colours, resulting in a whole new way to watch, listen and experience the album – you can see that HERE.

The group has also unveiled a new Wu-Niverse – documentary-style profile series on Certified, the digital destination platform celebrating SMEs R&B and Hip-Hop catalogues. These mini-documentaries follow fans from around the world and spend a day with them as they show us their love for Wu-Tang. From the eccentric to the unexpected, these profiles uncover the power of Wu-Tang and their lasting effect on so many fans’ live – enjoy that HERE.

Wu-Tang Clan kicked off the celebration last month with a series of special releases. They unveiled three digital EPs – REUNITED – THE REMIXES, IT’S YOURZ and TRIUMPH and joined forces with remixer SLATER to present slowed + reverb versions of ‘Protect Ya Neck’, ‘Uzi’ (Pinky Ring), ‘Gravel Pit’ and ‘Triumph’. Plus, Wu-Tang Clan also opened a Forever & Ever giveaway through their official fan newsletter – join the swarm HERE.

25 years on, WU-TANG FOREVER stands out as canonical. It reached quadruple-platinum status in the United States and made history as “the first hip-hop album to capture #1 in the United States and the UK following its release.” Not to mention, it earned a GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of Best Rap Album and has also gathered hundreds of millions of streams.

Wu-Tang Clan is still and will always be FOREVER.
