NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) – Hip-Hop legends Wu-Tang Clan and Nas have announced their upcoming co-headlining NY State of Mind tour. Brought to you by Live Nation, the 25-city trek kicks off Tuesday, August 30th in St. Louis’ Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, hitting Toronto, Austin, Atlanta, and more before wrapping up at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl.
Wu-Tang, founded in Staten Island in the 1990s, consists of RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard (ODB). As a group, Wu-Tang Clan has three platinum albums among their eight, and the group’s complete anthology has more than 85 full-length releases. Wu-Tang are entrepreneurs and successful cultural influencers with an empire that features everything from clothing lines and video games to books and acting credits.
Nas, born Nasir Jones, released his first full-length album in 1994, Illmatic. Over the years, he’s garnered four Grammy nominations, including a win for 2021’s King’s Disease as the best rap album. Most recently, Nas released a surprise album titled Magic featuring A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier.
Nas has pursued a career in motion pictures that began with his co-starring role (alongside DMX) in 1998’s cult classic crime drama Belly, a film by director Hype Williams (with whom Nas has done several music videos). He was the executive producer of the 2016 Netflix series The Get Down. Nas is also the co-founder of Mass Appeal Records.
