    HipHopDXcompiled a list of 35 Hip Hop figures who passed away in 2021 as part of our year-end content. Among the 35 deaths, over 65 percent of them were violent — Young Dolph was gunned down in his hometown of Memphis last November, Drakeo The Ruler was fatally stabbed in Los Angeles a month later and multiple aspiring local rappers were shot to death.

This month marks 30 years since the release of their debut album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," which critics say is one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever.

    List of Wu-Tang Clan affiliates

    This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

    The following is a list of Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, collectively known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees (occasionally spelled "Beez", an appellation originating from the 1998 compilation RZA presents Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm, Volume 1). These are artists that are at times promoted, supported, or produced by the members of the hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan, and/or groups formed by Clan members as side projects. The association of these artists with the Clan varies considerably both in nature and over time.

    These affiliates also include the Clan's group of in-house producers known as the Wu-Elements. This originally referred to the group who assisted RZA with the production of the Clan's second album Wu-Tang Forever, on which some production duties were delegated to True Master, 4th Discipl
