In Pictures: Rare portraits from Wu-Tang Clan’s golden era
For a group with nine members, the Wu-Tang Clan are really hard to pin down. You can spend months tapping up the army of friends, family, associated acts and affiliates trying to get a direct line to an elusive member of the Wu – and still come back with nothing.
But photographer Eddie Otchere managed to get the access and his portrait series Icons of Wu captures each member of the Staten Island Shaolins during their prime, including the late Old Dirty Bastard.
Otchere has form documenting some of the most iconic artists in hip hop, R&B and electronic music through the ’90s and early 2000s, with a portfolio that includes Biggie Smalls, Aaliyah, Jay Z, Andre 3000, J-Lo, Mos Def, Theo Parrish and Aphex Twin.
Shot over a period of five years, the series has never been exhibited before in its entirety and Otchere has promised to destroy all the digital files for the prints on March 9 – the day Biggie Smalls died – which will make the Icons of Wu edition finite.
Raised on a London council estate steeped in jazz, Otchere has documented emerging music scenes on both sides of the Atlantic from hip hop’s golden era on the America’s East Coast to the rise of drum & bass in the UK.
