Raekwon, a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan and successful solo artist, understands the importance of engaging with fans during tours. He appreciates their support, which has spanned three decades since the release of the iconic album, “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).”
Raekwon’s business ventures, which include a wine brand and cannabis strains, have taught him valuable lessons about the music industry’s cutthroat nature. He emphasizes the need for a strong team in both business and music, stating that without one, you risk being “run over bulldozer style” in the competitive landscape.
Raekwon believes in building a brand and making sacrifices to move forward. Sometimes things don’t go your way, but keeping your eyes open and having a solid team can help achieve success.
