In
alphabetical order
The following
is a list of artists and groups which are wrongly identified
as being part of the Wu-Fam.
12
Jewelz
(or "Twelve Jewelz"). Aside from sharing the name
of a Gravediggaz song, this group has no Wu connection at all.
This is nothing more than an incorrect fan assumption.
Autnoyz
Ohio based group sharing an affiliation with Wu producer 4th
Disciple, but are not part of the Wu in any way.
Baby
J
Producer from the UK. Baby J has an album called "The Birth"
which features many Wu affiliates Poetic and Shabazz The Disciple.
He has also produced tracks for the Celestial Souljahz duo,
but is not connected to the Wu in any other way.
Black
Knights
Confusingly shares the same name with the real "Wu"
group. These Black Knights have a page on MP3.com but have no
Wu affiliation at all. They have a track called "Penny
Loafers".
The
Brooklyn Zoo
Note the spelling. This group has a track called "Masterz
of the Zooniverse", and are no way connected to the Wu.
Camouflage
Large
(or "Camouflage Large Clique"). Once thought to be
part of the Wu collective but they have no Wu connection whatsoever.
Children
of Izreal
This group has recorded with Cilvaringz but have never been
a part of the Wu.
Daddy-O
One time member of Stetsasonic, and also thought be part of
the Shaolin Soldiers. Daddy-O is also credited as an A&R
director on The Syndicate's [formerly Wu-Syndicate's] debut
album. It's possible that these are two separate artists altogether.
Has a solo album called "You Can Be A Daddy, But Never
Daddy-O". His Wu connection is far from clear-cut.
Deadly
Venoms
Not the all female group of Wu fame. There are many music groups
which record under this name (ie. 5 Deadly Venoms).
Dialekt
Tha Assassin
Never-confirmed reports link him to Killarmy and 4th Disciple.
Has an album called "Metro Warfare" and is affiliated
with another group, "People's Army".
Fredi
Kruga
UK MC from London who worked with "Wu-International",
but was at no point signed to the label. This has been confirmed
by RZA himself.
Hell
Raza
Member of 2Pac's Outlawz crew. Different spellings may exist
for this guy's name, but he's not the Sunz Of Man MC.
I-Born
KRS-One associate with the track "Swarm 2000". Shares
the same name with United Kingdom MC "I Born". Wu-Tang's
"I Born" has not released any solo tracks.
KGB
Like Deadly Venoms, there are many music groups which record
under the name KGB. There are a number of tracks available on
the Internet incorrectly credited to the Wu's KGB.
Linque
Reports have it that Linque was once a part of the Deadly Venoms,
but left for unknown reasons. Like most "reports",
no-one has come forth with evidence to prove this to be the
case.
Lost
Generation
Once again an incorrect assumption made by fans (most likely
due to the group's name which somehow "connects" them
to Shyheim).
Mad
Lion
A complete mystery. Mad Lion has merely recorded one track with
Method Man. Buddha Monk has produced a track for him called
"Brooklyn Massacre".
Maia
Campbell
Other Names: n/a
Notes: Actress and female vocalist who sang alongside LA The
Darkman on "Love". Signed to "Big Beat"
Records.
Most
High Brotherz
Dutch outfit sharing an affiliation with the Lin Brotherz, but
are not part of the Wu themselves (despite the numerous Wu references
which can be heard throughout their songs).
Mr.
Hezekiah
Reportedly one of the "Yin & Yang Twins" (along
with Due Lilz). Was given a shout-out on "Enter The 36
Chambers" - but then again so were many other artists...
Appeared on the track "Only Live Once".
Nappy
Crumbsnatchas
How this group was even associated with the Wu to start with
is a complete mystery. Their Wu affiliation is the product of
an overly eager fan.
Nitty
Gritty
Group put together by John Mook Gibbons (who also works with
the Wu). How this makes them Wu-Fam is a mystery.
People's
Army
Linked to Dialekt Tha Assassin, but not the Wu.
Promizz
Member of the Children of Izreal. Like his parent group, he
has no Wu connection whatsoever.
Rah
Da Raw
Associate of Shabazz The Disciple with no clear Wu connections.
Res
Female vocalist who sang the hook on GZA's "Beneath The
Surface". Signed to "MCA" Records.
Silent
Stepchild
Producer for the Autnoyz. (See "Autnoyz" above).
Squig
MC and close associate of Shyheim.
Stranga
Member of the "Indigenous Tribe". Ohio based MC and
a close affiliate of Killarmy. Reportedly signed to the Wu,
but this is not the case.
Tribe
of Judah
Group which shares a close affinity to The Syndicate.
