The corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and Targee Street in the Park Hill section of Clifton (Staten Island) will forever be known as “Wu Tang Clan District”!
To honor all the contributions the famous rap group has made to their home neighborhood, the City Council held a a celebration on the street corner to unveil the new namesake. In December 2018, the City Council voted to approve this street renaming, as well as one for Biggie Smalls in Brooklyn.
In a statement to CNN, Ghostface Killah stated, ““I never saw this day coming, I knew we were some ill MCs, but I didn’t know that it’d take it this far.”
