When two of the most influential figures in Wu-Tang Clan history, Method Man and Raekwon, formed their own groups soon after the release of "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)", they made a point to emphasize that they were on different paths. Method Man went on to release four solo albums before joining the Clansmen on their self-titled record. From Staircase to Stage tells of the trials and tribulations experienced by both rappers during their respective ventures out on their own.

The story of the Wu-Tang Clan is one of the many stories of today's global hip-hop. Raekwon, a member of the clan, has documented his career by releasing a book titled "From Staircase to Stage." The audiobook that accompanies the book is narrated by Landon Woodson and Raekwon.
