Single from 2023 Digital Remaster of Shadow Clan – Aim For The Crown Video by Mowiekei Hailing from Queens, New York City, The Shadow Clan was a movement within underground Hip-Hop that generated a buzz back in the early 2000s. They were essentially a 90’s-Hip-Hop-loving army of young artists brought forth under the auspices of the legendary Zulu Nation. This neo-throwback crew have gained many fans among Chambermusik listeners with their raw, no-nonsense style that hearkens back to the days of both the Native Tongues and early Wu-Tang movements. Alumni Jus-P, GS Advance, Mr. Nickelz, & Shogunna have all carved their own niche in the game since the days of this music’s initial release in the streets. The rest of the members, Samhain, Prince, Watt, Why-Gee, Mad, Roulette & Skramble lay it down for you and yours. To be frank, this is underground hardcore Hip-Hop at its finest, and we are finally presenting it properly to all retail venues. Take a ride through Queens circa 2007 with these then young Z’s as they bring you back to that tru-skool feeling, but at the same time, was perhaps the most important and original movement in Hip-Hop. It should be noted that Shadow Clan preceded both the Pro-Era movement that would come about a few years later, as well as the Griselda movement that would arise a bit later.
