Oliver "Power" Grant Remembered: A Founding Force Behind Wu-Tang Clan

The hip-hop world is mourning the loss of Oliver "Power" Grant - one of the earliest believers and driving forces behind the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. While he wasn't the one on the mic, his influence was undeniable. Power was there at the foundation, helping turn a bold vision into a cultural movement that would change music forever.

Before the platinum plaques, sold-out shows, and global recognition, there was belief. Power believed in the members, in the sound, and in the power of unity. He played a key role in building the business and creative framework that allowed Wu-Tang to grow beyond a rap group and into a brand - one that expanded into fashion, film, and entrepreneurship.

Artists like RZA and Method Man have shared heartfelt tributes, reflecting on how essential Power was in the early days. Many agree: Wu-Tang might not exist the way we know it without his vision and dedication.

His impact went far beyond the studio. He helped demonstrate what ownership, collaboration, and long-term thinking could look like in hip-hop - lessons that still influence artists and entrepreneurs today.

Oliver "Power" Grant may not have sought the spotlight, but his fingerprints are all over one of the most important movements in music history.

Rest in power, Power Grant.
Your legacy lives on through the music, the culture, and the millions you inspired.
