Here’s a fun fact about me for everyone out there: the first cassette tape I ever owned was ‘Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)’ by the Wu-Tang Clan, their debut studio album. I forget how I even got it because I know I was too young to buy it in a store. I’m guessing my older brought bought it for me at the CD shop that was in our neighborhood because I also had to hide it from my parents.
As the saying goes, the rest was history. And while Wu-Tang’s 36 Chambers might not have been the most impactful album in my life, for me, it’s where it all started. That was the first time I GOT TO CHOOSE what I wanted to listen to instead of just listening to my parent’s music or whatever was on the radio. That album marked the shift in my life where I took my musical preferences into my own hands.
