Background

[edit]

In an interview with Passion of the Weiss, entrepreneur, producer and Wu-Tang Clan associate Oliver "Power" Grant stated that Craig Kallman had called RZA, asking him to work on a song for the High School High soundtrack, and Grant "had just been on RZA's back about needing more marketing and more promotions." RZA told Grant he would be creating a song and video for him to promote. The result was "Wu-Wear: The Garment Renaissance". The video was shot with Mekhi Phifer.[1]
