Description
The world's most controversial album is revealed in this untold story of the Wu-Tang Clan's million-dollar secret album. In 2007, a radical idea was conceived to challenge the impact of digitization on the record industry and independent artists. A sole copy of the album was created, encased in gleaming silver, and sold through an auction house for millions as a work of contemporary art. The execution of this plan raised complex questions about the value of music and the role of art in the digital age. Opinions were sharply divided over whether this was high art or hucksterism. The story behind the album is one of cultural debate, artistic protest, and the power of music to challenge societal norms. Cyrus Bozorgmehr, senior adviser to the project, unlocks the secrets behind the album and tells the full, unadulterated story.
