When it comes to thought-provoking, street- bred raw lyricism, The Wu- Tang Clan’s fountain of wisdom GZA takes his job very seriously. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, and one of the founding members of the mighty Wu-Tang Clan, GZA has mastery of the mic and metaphoric multi-layered lyrics that are often touted by critics as his rap names implies: Genius.
Lauded by many as being “the best Wu- Tang solo project of all” his classic Liquid Swords album has changed hip- hop forever going on to sell over one million copies, earning GZA a platinum plaque. Chris Rock once referred the album as the “Songs In The Key Of Rap”, naming it in his top 3 albums of all time.
