Rapper and New York City native Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan will appear at Webster Hall on January 23 for a solo performance that will include classics from his storied career in hip-hop.
The Staten Island artist, who also owns a coffee brand, Killah Koffee, made waves in the emerging hip-hop scene of the 1990s alongside the members of the Wu-Tang Clan. The group revolutionized the genre with a unique approach that eschewed the jazz-heavy influence that took precedence in the scene at the time in favor of a raw, gritty sound that would influence generations of rappers to come. The group leaned into free-associative lyrics that dealt with kung-fu movies and used ideas from the Five-Percent Nation.
Ghostface Killah released his latest album, “Supreme Clientele 2,” over the summer on Nas’ Mass Appeal Records. The album is a follow-up to his hit album “Supreme Clientele,” released in 2000, and features contributions from Nas, Redman, and Wu-Tang members like Method Man and frequent collaborator Raekwon. His set, which will include Wu-Tang classics, new material, and solo selections, arrives on the heels of Wu-Tang Clan’s sold-out appearance at Madison Square Garden as part of their Farewell Tour, marking a unique opportunity to continue seeing these songs live.
