Hip-Hop Loses a Mastermind: Wu-Tack Co-Founder Oliver “Power” Grant Dies at 52

Hip-Hop has lost one of its architects.

Oliver “Power” Grant wasn’t just behind Wu-Tang Clan — he helped build the blueprint. As co-founder and executive producer, he played a pivotal role in shaping the sound, strategy, and business structure of one of the most influential groups in music history.

From Staten Island to the world, Power helped turn a raw collective into a global cultural force. He executive produced Wu-Tang’s albums and launched Wu Wear, pioneering artist-driven fashion long before merch became an industry standard.

Tributes poured in from Method Man, Raekwon, DJ Premier and more — honoring not just a businessman, but a brother and visionary.

His impact on hip-hop, entrepreneurship, and culture will echo for generations.

Rest in Powerful Peace. 🕊️
