Last 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, Missouri.

The show kicked off with a curated video chronologically showcasing the birth of Hip-Hop on August 11, 1973 in the Bronx, NY as well as its influence across the five boroughs of New York. The video also highlighted Hip-Hop icons born in N.Y. who forever changed the landscape and culture of rap beyond the empire state.

The rap legends delivered an incredible performance with Wu-Tang Clan performing anthems like “Bring Da Ruckus,” “Da Mystery of Chessboxin,” “C.R.E.A.M” and more.
