On July 24, 2012 Get On Down Records will collaborate with Wu-Tang Clan’sGZA and Geffen Records to release a deluxe 2CD box set of the emcee’s sophomore album, Liquid Swords. The November, 1995 album’s re-issue will include a bonus disc of the album’s instrumentals, almost entirely produced by RZA. Also included are liner notes penned by the emcee, and a chess set pulling from much of the album’s lyrical influence.
Liquid Swords featured the single “Cold World,” and was a mainstream introduction to Killah Priest. In recent years, GZA has alluded to releasing a sequel to his first and only Top 10 album.
Previously, Get On Down has partnered in vinyl and CD deluxe reissues of Ironman and Supreme Clientele by Wu-Tang’s Ghostface Killah.
