Iron Flag is the fourth studio album by American East Coast hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, released on December 18, 2001, on Loud Records. The album was produced by RZA, True Master, Mathematics, Nick Fury, and Trackmasters. The album's sound has been described as a return to the group's earlier, more hardcore sound, after the more experimental Wu-Tang Forever. The album's lyrics deal with themes of violence, crime, and poverty, as well as the group's own mythology.
The album was met with mixed reviews from critics. Some critics praised the album's return to the group's hardcore roots, while others criticized it for being too similar to their previous albums.
Despite its mixed reception, Iron Flag is considered to be a classic Wu-Tang album by many fans. The album's singles, "In the Hood" and "Iron Flag," were both successful on the charts. The album also features guest appearances from Raekwon, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Ghostface Killah, RZA, and Cappadonna.
Iron Flag is a solid album that showcases the Wu-Tang Clan's unique sound.
