“Bring Da Ruckus” by Wu-Tang Clan

"Bring Da Ruckus" comes off Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the debut the Wu-Tang Clan dropped on Loud and RCA in November 1993, and it's the crew at full swagger: Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, GZA/Genius and RZA all take lead vocals, and all eight members split the writing credit.

RZA, the group's de facto leader, produced, arranged and mixed it himself, with Ethan Ryman engineering, and it carries the grit of an album cut at Firehouse Studio in New York between late 1992 and early 1993 and named after a pair of martial arts films. That raw, underground sound became a blueprint for hardcore hip-hop and helped drag New York rap back to the center of the national map.
