Label: Ruffnation
As the leadernof the legendary WU TANG CLAN, the RZA aka Bobby Digital has been one of the pillars of hip hop since the Clan first emerged with his trademark raw and gritty but soulful production style. Before the production and moviemaking though, RZA was a rapper first, and on Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater, he rediscovers his love of lyricism that graced so many classic rap cuts from WU TANG to GRAVEDIGGAZ and his own solo stuff, all the while reaffirming his love of Kung Fu films.
Joining him on this album is DJ SCRATCH. Scratch and RZA have worked together before on a WU TANG album so they have history, and on this project it is evident that they work so well together. Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater sees RZA sounding hungry again when it comes to his rapping and going back to his roots with the Kung Fu vibe and samples. This, combined with DJ Scratch at his most cinematically creative with his beats, results in a compelling listening experience.
