Presently, RZA is readying the release of Digi Snacks, his third album in the
Bobby Digital series, geared up for July 1st release [click to read]. In
preparation for the Koch Records release, RZA shot a video for the album's first
single, "U Can't Stop Me Now."
The song, which features Inspectah Deck, is inspired by Afrika Bambaataa's
"Renegades of Funk," using familiar a sample and chorus that's been interpolated
by artists ranging from Ill Bill to Mos Def. The lyrics to the song chronicle
the sacrifices made for RZA's dream, including buying his first SP-12 sampler
for $500, prompting the producer's illustrious career. |

 While
fans and Wu-Tang Clan enthusiasts continue to lay down opinions on the group's
latest project 8 Diagrams, the Wu's founder, the Rza, is moving on to new
projects.
His latest project is a group called Achozen, consisting of himself and System
Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian. The two musicians have been working on
the genre blending project since 2005, and now, it's finally nearing completion.
While Shavo calls the project simply "music" not putting it into any musical
genre categories, RZA told us while in L.A. last week to expect something "very
spiritual." |

Questionnaire: The RZA

What are you up to?
Right now I’m recording a Bobby Digital album, but also — the most important
thing this year — Wu-Tang Clan. We got [Raekwon's] Cuban Linx 2 in the bag, we
just have to wait for them to take the gag off. That shit right there is fire.
It's what I was working on the whole last year, so my part for that is done now
so I get to move on and do other things. If things go the way they should go, I
think it should go like this: Wu-Tang in June and Raekwon in September, and it's
a fuckin' great year for hip-hop. Afro Samurai is out right now, and that's
something like a fusion I would say. You've got Japanese animation combining
with hip-hop. That's something like a collector's item, know what I mean? I made
the soundtrack in a way that it's also like a collector's item because here
you've got Big Daddy Kane. When was the last time you heard a Big Daddy Kane
verse? How about a new verse from Q-Tip? How about Big Daddy Kane with the GZA?
So this is a soundtrack I made for the animation — five series on Spike TV. A
lot of kids are goin' crazy for it and there was a big cult following ahead of
time. It went to Comic Con and there were 3,000 kids, like it was a damn
concert, for the trailer. |
