As the creative force behind the Wu-Tang clan, RZA needs almost no introduction. But we're going to attempt it anyway. Through his productions in the early nineties with Wu-Tang, RZA pioneered the east-coast underground hip hop sound that went on to rule the scene for years. His rare musical combination of bleak, minimal, kung-fu-streaked soul was a breath of fresh air for those weary of the west-coast g-funk sound prevalent in rap music at the time. After reaching remarkable chart success with Wu-Tang and solo Wu-members like Method Man, Ghostface Killah, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, the RZA turned his attention to even wider musical horizons. In addition to releasing records as his hedonistic alter ego, Bobby Digital, he began a prolific soundtrack scoring career, racking up credits for Jim Jarmusch, Takashi Okazaki, and Quentin Tarantino. Here, he sits down for a Fireside Chat, and waxes poetic on his inspirations, successes, and past and present projects. Bring da ruckus!
