Wu-Tang Clan affiliates

The pioneering hardcore hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan's plan to conquer the hip hop industry consisted not only of making each member into a solo star in their own right, but also to create and promote numerous affiliate artists.

Blue Raspberry

Discovered by the Clan working in a casino, Blue Raspberry emerged as the group's in-house female vocalist during the first round of Wu-Tang solo projects. She added vocals to tracks on Method Man's Tical and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, but seemed to have her position somewhat usurped by Tekitha on the Clan's second album Wu-Tang Forever. Nevertheless, she has continued to appear on Wu projects including Method Man & Redman's Blackout! and the Ghost Dog soundtrack, and hopes to release a solo album at some point in the future. A solo album, which was scheduled for 1999 but was never released, is known to be in the vaults, titled either Black Shampoo or Blunted Soul. Her stage name was given to her by Killah Priest, who said she reminded him of a blue raspberry.
