The RZA is most famous as the founder and leader of the Wu-Tang Clan, the platinum-selling hip-hop group that is widely considered one of the most important of all time. He has continued his music career while successfully branching out into lecturing, television, and film.
“Touching…A glimpse inside the brain of the RZA, the
producer/spiritual leader of Staten Island’s revolutionary hip-hop
collective, the Wu-Tang Clan….Inspirational.” –The New York Times
Book Review
“Is there a Pulitzer Prize in the Wu’s future?” –XXL Magazine
“At once edifying and wildly entertaining, [The Wu-Tang Manual]
occupies a fertile emotional crossroads of nostalgia, juvenile
wish-fulfillment, and adult appreciation…it could augur a rebirth
for one of the most influential rap groups of the 1990s.”
–Pitchfork
“A rabbit hole into the Clan’s history and obsessions with kung-fu
films, numerology, chess, and Eastern spirituality.” –Entertainment
Weekly
“Equal parts travelogue, manifesto, dictionary and cultural decoder
ring for one of hip-hop’s most influential and unorthodox rap
groups…It’s quite obvious that the nine-member crew is as adept in
analyzing Eastern philosophies, chess strategies and numerological
systems as they are in smoking ells and dodging bullets.”
--Columbus Alive (alternative weekly)
“A unique megamix of Buddhism, comics, kung fu, and Islam.”
