RZA To Launch #WuWednesdays On LL COOL J's Rock The Bells Radio

RZA To Launch #WuWednesdays On LL COOL J's Rock The Bells Radio

Published Wed, November 8, 2023 at 11:00 AM EST

RZA has teamed up with LL COOL J's Rock The Bells Radio on SiriusXM to host a new show, #WuWednesdays.

#WuWednesdays is set to kick off on Nov. 29 on LL COOL J's SiriusXM channel 43, and will feature a mix of new and classic hits from the entire Wu-Tang Clan, alongside exclusive DJ sets, interviews, and more. In the premiere episode, RZA will revisit the Wu-Tang Clan's memorable performance from Aug. 10 in Queens, New York, held as part of SiriusXM's celebration of Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary.

In addition to hosting #WuWednesdays on Rock The Bells Radio, RZA is also celebrating the upcoming 30th anniversary of Wu-Tang's seminal debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), which was released on Nov. 9, 1993, and introduced one of the most renowned crews in Hip-Hop. The platinum-selling group has since released seven studio albums, with worldwide sales of more than 40 million, laying the groundwork for the members' solo careers. Last year, 36 Chambers was chosen by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance.

To commemorate the 30-year anniversary of this landmark album, on Nov. 9, New York City will honor RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan by lighting the Empire State Building in the group's iconic black and yellow colors. NYC Mayor Eric Adams will also honor the occasion by declaring Nov. 9 “Wu-Tang Day” in NYC.

Additionally, there will be several Wu-Tang 30th anniversary celebratory activations including: 

-RZA’s upcoming The 36 Chambers 30th Anniversary Celebration at New York’s Gramercy Theatre Nov. 7-9

-On Thursday, Nov. 9, RZA's company 36 Chambers will be hosting a pop-up shop in the East Village, selling signed copies of RZA's graphic novel Bobby Digital and The Pit Of Snakes, in addition to other apparel, records, toys/collectibles.

-The Hip-Hop Education Center (HHEC), Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and 36 Chambers ALC, will present a special screening of the new documentary A Wu-Tang Experience: Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 7:00pm. 

-Urbanworld named RZA the official ambassador of this year's festival.  RZA is co-director of the documentary A Wu-Tang Experience: Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Gerald Barclay and he presented the film at Urbanworld. 

The celebration of the album continues as Get On Down is set to unveil a special edition 7-inch box set, a limited-edition LP and a limited-edition cassette of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) in partnership with Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. All three items will be available to order at www.getondown.com starting on Thursday, Nov. 9-Nov. 30.

Tune into RZA's #WuWednesdays on LL COOL J's Rock The Bells Radio on SiriusXM beginning Nov. 29.
