Wu-Tang Clan 'Iron Flag'
Wu-Tang Clan released 'Iron Flag', their fourth studio album, in 2001. Certified Gold, the album arrived just a year after 'The W', marking an unexpected but powerful return for the collective. After years of solo projects, the group reconvened, showcasing their ability to evolve while maintaining their signature raw energy and lyrical complexity.
Rather than adhering to a singular sonic theme, 'Iron Flag' explores diverse styles from across Wu-Tang Clan's history. Influences range from RZA's Bobby Digital production to the gritty aesthetic of their debut and the sped-up vocal samples of 'Wu-Tang Forever'. The album also features guest appearances from notable artists like Flavor Flav of Public Enemy and soul legend Ronald Isley, adding further depth to the record’s eclectic sound.
