It was something we cherished over our career, and it would always come on the tour busses. The conversations and quotes from the movie and all of that, we would throw back and forth through the years, me, Pos and Dave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo for Pos to come to me and be like, \u2018Yo, Dave is our Ramon, man. We have to celebrate Ramon. We have to turn this whole release of the catalog into celebrating our Ramon.\u2019 When he said that, he was right. The moments are still bittersweet, but that was definitely something that was able to give me some light and inspiration to want to continue to carry the flag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/wu-tang-clan-announce-the-final-chamber-last-ever-tour-with-north-american-dates-with-run-the-jewels-3840886\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wu-Tang Clan also recently announced their final tour together<\/a>, with all remaining members travelling through North America starting in June. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/run-the-jewels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Run The Jewels<\/a> will be supporting them on all dates.<\/p>\n<p>Get any remaining tickets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/wu-tang-clan-tickets\/artist\/896829?irgwc=1&amp;clickid=U4nWNbxECxycWN9U9Y2eh20gUksUAMUhNRTO2Y0&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_2862475&amp;impradid=2862475&amp;REFERRAL_ID=tmfeedbuyat2862475&amp;wt.mc_id=aff_BUYAT_2862475&amp;utm_source=2862475-NME%20Networks%20Media%20Limited&amp;impradname=NME%20Networks%20Media%20Limited&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;ircid=4272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and check out dates below:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber\u201d tour dates are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JUNE<\/strong><br \/><strong>6 Baltimore, MD \u2013 CFG Bank Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>7 Raleigh, NC \u2013 Lenovo Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>10 Tampa, FL \u2013 Amalie Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>11 Atlanta, GA \u2013 State Farm Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>13 Fort Worth, TX \u2013 Dickies Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>14 Houston, TX \u2013 Toyota Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>15 Austin, TX \u2013 Moody Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>16 Tulsa, OK \u2013 BOK Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>18 Phoenix, AZ \u2013 Footprint Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>20 Ontario, CA \u2013 Toyota Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>21 San Diego, CA \u2013 Pechanga Arena San Diego<\/strong><br \/><strong>22 Los Angeles, CA \u2013 Crypto.com Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>24 San Francisco, CA \u2013 Chase Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>26 Sacramento, CA \u2013 Golden 1 Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>28 Seattle, WA \u2013 Climate Pledge Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>30 Vancouver, British Columbia \u2013 Rogers Arena<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JULY<\/strong><br \/><strong>1 Portland, OR \u2013 Moda Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>4 Greenwood Village, CO \u2013 Fiddler\u2019s Green Amphitheatre<\/strong><br \/><strong>7 Chicago, IL \u2013 United Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>8 Detroit, MI \u2013 Little Caesars Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>9 Columbus, OH \u2013 Nationwide Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>11 Boston, MA \u2013 TD Garden<\/strong><br \/><strong>13 Laval, Quebec \u2013 Place Bell<\/strong><br \/><strong>14 Toronto, Ontario \u2013 Scotiabank Arena<\/strong><br \/><strong>16 New York, NY \u2013 Madison Square Garden<\/strong><br \/><strong>17 Newark, NJ \u2013 Prudential Center<\/strong><br \/><strong>18 Philadelphia, PA \u2013 Wells Fargo Center<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/watch-liam-gallagher-raekwon-and-ghostface-killah-star-in-new-film-celebrating-200th-anniversary-of-clarks-shoes-3835110\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Liam Gallagher, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah star in a new film celebrating 200th anniversary of Clarks shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hip-hop record label Mass Appeal have announced seven new albums from iconic rap stars like Nas &amp;
