Most of you are probably asking, ‘his fourth solo album?’ For those that don’t know, before there was a Wu-Tang Clan, GZA released his solo debut “Words From The Genius.” Other members of the Wu have always called GZA the anchor to their crew, or to quote Meth, “the sharpest mafucka in this place.”
GZA really made his mark with his classic in 1995, “Liquid Swords.” Four years later he released “Beneath The Surface,” which is probably the best album to come out of the crew since their decline started in ’97. The Genius is once again looking to hold things down on November 19th with “Legend of a Liquid Sword.”
The album’s lead single (which he just made a video for), “Knock Knock,” features production from J. Waxx Garfield and a hook from Ol’ Dirty. The song that has gotten the most attention is “Fame” which appeared on the Internet early this year. The track is in the same breadth as “Labels” and “Publicity” as GZA rhymes revolve around the name’s of various famous people. Here is the album’s track listing:
