Wu-Tang Clan Joins Bodog Family

From Calvin Ayre's blog:

The Wu-Tang Clan recorded some of the most revolutionary beats, rhymes and flows of the 90s and no other hip-hop artist since has even come close to achieving the same amount of respect and recognition.

This really is the shit. It makes me so damn proud to announce that Bodog Music has scheduled the fall release of 8 Diagrams, Wu-Tang Clan’s latest (and possibly greatest) album to date.

And ya… I’ve heard about all of the arrests and drug charges. All of the stories – from their alleged ties to the Gambino crime family to their storming the stage at the 1998 Grammy Awards to the eyebrow-raising events leading up to the death of Ol’ Dirty Bastard in 2004 – everything about the Wu-Tang Clan brand challenges the norm. They’re dangerous. They’re downright dirty and they’re funnier than all hell.

I don’t need to ask the question…but I will… Why would Bodog Music sign them? Because they fit our style as everyone can already see. That’s the way I see it ..the Wu Tang Clan lives Bodog style…making their own rules!

With everything that Bodog Entertainment is doing these days – including Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker II, Bodog Fight and Bodog Battle – the addition of the Wu-Tang Clan to our international distribution list can only be a big boost to our label… and an interesting fit for the Bodog brand.
