RZA drops new track from forthcoming album: Listen
RZA has shared a new track from his forthcoming album with Grammy-winning producer DJ Scratch.
Best known as the de facto leader of legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, the New York rapper shared ‘Fate of the World’, on Friday (18th February). Off the back of its title track, it’s the second single to be taken from ‘Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater,’ which is set for release on 4th March.
Produced by Danny Hastings and RZA, the single is accompanied by visuals featuring a school of students learning “the Tao of Wu,” which is also the title of RZA’s 2009 book detailing what he has described as “key turning points in his life”. Watch the video below.
Featuring RZA sparring with his alter-ego Bobby Digital, ‘Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater’ is described as a love letter to the kung fu movies that aired each Saturday on local TV channels “when there were only 5 channels to choose from.”
Last month, a selection of new images of Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin’ were shared by the US government.
A couple of weeks later, it was revealed that RZA had filed a $2million lawsuit against multiple e-commerce stores believed to be selling fake band merchandise.
