Now until forever and ever, Wu Tang Clan will have their own day to commemorate 30 years (!!!) as Hip Hop musicians. Thursday November 9, 2023 was the first of the now officially Wu Tang Day in all 5 boroughs.
According to SI Live.com,
In recognition of the 30th anniversary of Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 album “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers),” New York City Mayor Eric Adams declared Nov. 9 as Wu-Tang Day. The honor was celebrated in the most New York way possible: With the Empire State Building being lit with black and yellow lights. Black and yellow are Wu-Tang Clan’s signature colors.
