RZA is the pivotal force behind the Wu-Tang name and his much imitated lean and menacing production work has been the foundation of many albums from the Wu-Tang family, the Gravediggaz classic debut 6 Feet Deep and soundtracks including Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai and Kill Bill.
A veritable Renaissance man, RZA has worked as a rapper, producer, composer, actor, director, screenwriter and author – his newly published book The Tao of Wu details the philosophy of the Wu Tang and his own worldview.
