RZA ensured the solo careers by signing with Loud records, with adding a clause to the contract stating that “each member is a free agent”. The first steps of the plan was to debut with a group album, serving as a vehicle to ignite each of the members their solo careers.

Experimentation and Discovery are key and support you to identify the optimal solution.Meanwhile RZA had formed the D.M.D Posse, consisting of himself, Method Man, U-God, Raekwon and Inspectah Deck, which unfortunately wasn’t a great success either.Ī lot of learnings were derived from those times, yet it was back to the drawing board. Though the group never had an official release, there were a few demo songs that were on heavy rotation across New York City in the mid-80s and the individual members had some moderate success, with the Genius signing a contract with Cold Chillin, Prince Rakeem signing with Tommy Boy and Ason Unique probably doing his own “thing” aside from music. Try, fail, learn check and adjust.īefore the Wu-Tang Clan was formed there was the group “All in Together Now” (aka Force of the Imperial Master), consisting of Prince Rakeem (aka RZA), The Genius (aka Allah Justice aka GZA) and Ason Unique (aka The Specialist aka Ol’Dirty Bastard).
