It had always been planned for Method Man to be the first breakout star from the group's line-up, with the b-side of the group's first single being his now-classic eponymous solo track. The Gravediggaz released the album 6 Feet Deep in August 1994, which became one of the best-known works to emerge from hip hop's small subgenre of horrorcore. RZA was the first to follow up on the success of Enter the Wu-Tang with a side project, founding the Gravediggaz with Prince Paul, Frukwan and Poetic. The popularity of the album established the group as a creative and influential force in the mid-1990s hip hop scene, allowing Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, GZA, Raekwon, U-God, Method Man, and Ghostface Killah to negotiate solo contracts. In November 1993, the group released their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) to critical acclaim and commercial success, and it is often regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Loud Records soon signed the Wu-Tang Clan to a deal that gave the group members creative control and the freedom to negotiate solo projects with other labels. The Wu-Tang Clan first rose to prominence in 1993 following the release of the independent single " Protect Ya Neck", which immediately gave the group a sizable underground following. The group's debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs Wu-Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu-Tang sections.ġ993-1996: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and solo albums
