The late 1980s and early 1990s are widely considered the “golden age” of hip hop music. Their debut album and the series of solo albums released soon after by the group’s leading members (Method Man, GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah) between 19 took hip hop by storm and epitomized the new, grittier sound that was taking hold at that time.
