GZA Concert
May 19 @ 8:30 pm
The Ludlow Garage
$35 – $40
GZA will be live at the Ludlow Garage on May 19th.
GZA/The Genius is a founding member of the seminal hip hop group the Wu-Tang Clan. GZA boasted some high-profile appearances on the group’s debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), including one of only two solo tracks, “Clan in da Front.” GZA’s 1995 solo effort, Liquid Swords, met with critical and commercial acclaim and is largely considered one of the best albums to come out of the Wu-Tang camp.
GZA’s subsequent solo projects were all received with great critical acclaim: Beneath the Surface (1999); Legend of the Liquid Sword (2002); Grandmasters (2005) with DJ Muggs (the producer for hip-hop group Cypress Hill) which saw GZA using chess as a metaphor for the rap game; and finally, Pro Tools (2008) featured production from past collaborators RZA, Mathematics, and True Master. GZA made an appearance with RZA in Jim Jarmusch’s film Coffee & Cigarettes, opposite Bill Murray. The two also appeared on the Chappelle Show in the now legendary skits “Wu-Tang Financial” and “Racial Draft.”
GZA has been working on a Wu-Tang documentary for the better part of the last decade, which will prove to be the ultimate statement about the supergroup. He also has TV shows and graphic novel ideas in development.
