Cappadonna may have taught a lot of the guys in Wu-Tang Clan how to rhyme, but he wasn’t around when the group first formed and released their incredible debut album. Because Cappadonna was in Rikers Island, doing time for someone else’s crack rocks. When Cap was released, the Clan welcomed him as the honorary tenth member of the group. But he brought someone else into the fold, too. A shady character who, unbeknownst to Cap and the rest of the guys, wasn’t what he seemed … a federal informant testifying in two major cases, one involving the mob.

At just 15 years old, Inspectah Deck had to learn how to hold his own against older, more dangerous convicts when he was sent to jail for selling crack to an undercover cop. It wasn’t the first time he did hard time. Multiple stints behind bars gave him nothing but time – to reflect, to strategize, to learn how to rap, and to take that new skill and use it to turn his life around on the outside. But years later, the bad decisions of his youth were just some of the reasons why the the NYPD, the ATF, and the FBI were so interested in his groundbreaking hip-hop group.

Ghostface Killah allegedly tried to steal three thousand dollars from a parking lot attendant. They said he was shot in the neck and shoulder in Steubenville, Ohio, shortly before the RZA went on trial for attempted murder. Or so the story goes. And it is true that he was busted with a .357 Magnum, hollow-point bullets, and a bulletproof vest during a routine traffic stop. It was stories and transgressions like these that led the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to dig deep into Wu-Tang Clan’s past in order to build a new narrative that the music was merely a front for organized crime – a narrative that would soon go all the way to the FBI.

As a teenager, Method Man won $800 on a $5 bet in a dice game. He used those winnings to set himself up as a crack dealer on Staten Island. Dealing was dangerous. Meth was chased by drug squads and dragged down the street when a potential buyer stole his product. His life was saved by a friend who pulled him out of the wrong place at the right moment – a moment in which he literally dodged a bullet.

Corey Woods, aka Raekwon, was addicted to the styles, sounds, and crimes of hip-hop street culture in the 1980s. He sold weed, coke, and later crack to fund his expensive taste in clothes and parties. But that life wasn’t all glamor. He was shot four times and nearly killed when he was caught in the crossfire. And times were changing. The NYPD launched a street-level anti-drug task force to target low-level dealers – dealers like Raekwon, who found life as he knew it was about to suddenly change.

Bobby Diggs (aka the RZA) grew up on a steady diet of kung fu movies and hip-hop music. As a kid he hung around junkies and prostitutes in Times Square. As a teenager he hustled dime bags of weed to day traders on Wall Street. But on Christmas Eve 1991, in Ohio, he was caught up in a shooting that landed him in a fight for his life.

Wu-Tang Clan made history with some of the most compelling hip-hop music of all time. They also made enemies with the NYPD, the ATF, and the FBI – the latter of which classified them as a "major criminal organization." The story of Wu-Tang's rise from the streets of New York to the world's stage is full of hustle, paranoia, bad drug deals, police shootouts, federal informants...and it's also the subject of the 13th season of DISGRACELAND. The first serialized season of DISGRACELAND starts Tuesday, September 5th, with new episodes dropping every Tuesday and Thursday, and bonus mini episodes every Monday. Rocka rolla.

can't wait for next one.
That mellotron of urs has a ton of music on it. Luckily, you talk about great music.
Season 7! Really?! I'm a longtime Disgraceland listener/lover and I haven't heard any of these! Damn I must be completely tuned out because I didn't know this was a thing. Smh
You are one of the best storytellers or any podcast
I feel bad for the composer of the stock music you keep shitting on at the beginning of every episode
Ice wasn't a simple soldier, he was a Ranger, made it through some of the toughest training for US Army members at the time.
It's all great man except for you put that extra 'r' in garage. Gararage. 😉 Love the show man.
he got absolutely everything He had coming to him. whata fucking looser.
Another awesome show You are a good storyteller, one of the best.

Once again, great program keep up the awesome work ASAP

26?!?
This podcast is in my top 3
I'm stoked these came out on the free feed. Pantera is my favorite band of all time, and these episodes are fantastic.
I got you on YouTube. Thanks a lot buddy love your program
Oh good man, I'm glad this show is coming back. I always planned to go over to Amazon and listen, and I did once or twice, but it's so much better when all my pods are in one place. It's the same with Joe Rogan. I just always miss a ton of his pods cause many aren't in my pod feed. This is definitely one of the best ones.
How can I listen to the Miles Davis episode(s)?
Jesus Christ, this poor family. So much loss. It's such a terrible price to pay. And for what?
Great job! As a woman who has survived a tiny part of this stalking/ abuse situation, it took me right back there. I can relax though, because the person who was doing this to me is deceased. (not from my hand. btw) But that is when we can truly let go. My heart goes out to her.
