The other night, hip hop icons, Wu-Tang Clan and Nas joined by Special Guest Busta Rhymes kicked off their highly anticipated 2022 NY State of Mind Tour in St. Louis, MO. The show kicked off with a curated video chronologically showcasing the birth of Hip-Hop on August 11, 1973 in the Bronx, NY and its influence across the five boroughs of New York, highlighting Hip-Hop icons birthed within the city who forever changed the landscape and culture of rap beyond the Empire state.
The show delivered an incredible performance, with Wu-Tang Clan singing anthems like Bring Da Ruckus, Da Mystery of Chessboxin, C.R.E.A.M and more. Nas took the stage with New York State of Mind, It’s Mine, If I Ruled the World and others.
