Wu-Tang Records
A label that existed in the middle 1990s. Although never publicly stated, it is believed that RZA was the CEO. The only known acts on the label were Shyheim, Wu-Syndicate, Killarmy, and Sunz of Man. The current situation of the label is unknown.[1] It was distributed by Priority/EMI Records.
Razor Sharp Records
Razor Sharp Records is a recording label which was believed to also be run by RZA. The label was founded in the early 1990s around the time that RZA produced Method Man's Tical and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Although the label received returning profits and precedes on every album made by each clan member, very few acts were seen on the label, most notably Cappadonna who has long close ties with the group, and was often believed to be an unofficial member, until his official induction prior to 8 Diagrams. The current situation of the label is unknown, although is it possible that the label dissolved or possibly became one of the more recent Wu labels.[2] It was distributed by Epic/SME Records.
36 Chambers Records and Wu Music Group
Other record labels, known as 36 Chambers Records and Wu Music Group were also founded, and are still active in the present. Very little is known about these labels, other that the fact that RZA produces music and movie scores on them. Wu Music Group receives profit on every album that is released from a Clan member. His involvement with these labels are deeply uncertain, considering that he was never known to be CEO of any recording label.[2]
