Fat Beats Exclusive VHS Cassette, limited to 300 copies.
This VHS-style special edition cassette re-imagines 'Enter the 37th Chamber' in collectible retro packaging inspired by the Shaw Brothers films and classic kung fu flicks that fueled RZA's vision for the Wu-Tang sound. Housed in a mini clamshell case, the custom cassette shell is designed to resemble a classic VHS tape, nodding to the late-night martial arts marathons that shaped one of hip-hop's most cinematic catalogs. Includes an exclusive glow-in-the-dark guitar pick printed with the album's iconic Chinese opera mask artwork — a nod to the live musicians who brought it all to life.
Originally released in 2009 on Fat Beats Records, 'Enter the 37th Chamber' transformed iconic Wu-Tang Clan songs into gritty, fully live instrumentals inspired by the cinematic production style of RZA. What began as an experimental tribute quickly became a worldwide cult classic embraced by DJs, record collectors, hip-hop fans, and members of Wu-Tang themselves. After hearing the project, RZA famously said: “This is American music right here.”
Led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair blends vintage soundtrack music, early reggae, and raw analog soul into what the group calls “Cinematic Soul.”
Over the years, the album has taken on a life of its own, heard everywhere from independent record shops and radio stations to restaurants, film sets, and even theme parks across multiple continents. Nearly two decades later, 'Enter the 37th Chamber' remains one of the defining releases in the Fat Beats catalog and a landmark recording in instrumental hip-hop and cinematic soul.
