Earlier this week, the first wave of episodes from Wu-Tang: An American Saga premiered on Hulu. The dramatic miniseries chronicles the formation of the Wu-Tang Clan. Executive produced by RZA and Method Man, the series follows The Abbott and his siblings on a street journey that eventually leads to one of Rap’s greatest collectives. Notably from the Rap community, Dave East portrays Meth’, while Joey Bada$$ plays the Inspectah Deck character. RZA and Joey sat down together with Angie Martinez to discuss their relationship and making Wu-Tang: An American Saga.
To open the discussion, Joey delves into his early connection to RZA and how it shaped his young career. Joey explains, “I’m super grateful to be here with this man. Even before I was actually a part of this series, this man has been a mentor to me personally. I could call him about anything. When I was first trying to set up my label with Pro Era and everything, this man definitely gave me his ear.” Joey says that onetime Wu manager Sophia Chang was who linked the two Brooklyn natives.
