Biografia
Man of many aliases and more talents. He is the heart, soul, and brains behind rap’s only true supergoup, the Wu-Tang Clan. In 1993 RZA single-handedly changed the face of hip-hop with the explosive release of “Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers”. His raw and dirty beats influenced virtually every producer that followed in his roaring wake. His talents were requested by everyone from Snoop Doggy Dogg to U2 to Bjork.
He also created a precedent for the industry, signing the group to a deal that allowed each member to pursue solo deals on other labels. The group’s second album, Wu-Tang Forever, sold over 600,000 copies in its first week. RZA’s business savvy was heralded on the front page of a The New York Times’ Business section, as he has diversified his business interests: a clothing line, a studio and a film production company to name a few.
In 2000, director Jim Jarmusch reached out to RZA to score Ghost Dog, a modern samurai film. While many other hip-hop producers may have simply thrown samples and breakbeats at the picture, RZA did his due diligence. The result was something only he could have achieved: an ethereal soundscape that subtly wove together the ancient Eastern with the modern Western warrior sensibility.
To RZA fans, the Ghost Dog score was no surprise because RZA’s music is filmic in its nature. You don’t just hear a Wu-Tang song, you see it. So it’s natural that RZA, as a movie buff and a fanatic of martial arts flicks in particular, would turn his eye to directing. Starting with music videos, such as “Tragedy,” a mini kung fu movie shot in Hong Kong, he moved on to directing three films entitled Bobby Digital: Bobby Did It, Bobby Digital: Digital Bullet, - both centered around his alter-ego, and Domestic Violence, a moving look at the phenomenon. In 2002 he produced a full-length kung fu movie called Z Chronicles bringing in talent from Taiwan and Hong Kong to add to is authenticity.
In 2003 RZA scored Kill BillVol.1 for Quentin Tarantino, for which he got a BAFTA nomination. In addition, RZA participated in the scoring of Barbershop 2, Soul Plane, Kill Bill Volume 2, Blade: Trinity and Unleashed. RZA has appeared in Ghost Dog, Scary Movie 3. Most recently, RZA appeared in Jim Jarmusch’s ensemble episodic film Coffee and Cigarettes, in a segment co-starring Bill Murray and The Gza. He has performed on “Mad TV” and twice on “The Chappelle Show.” RZA is also the author of The Wu-Tang Manual: Enter the 36 Chambers, Volume One.
