Second video from RZA’s latest LP, Digi Snax, which is probably one of his best albums to date in my opinion. The song, “Drama”, features Thea and Monk and is easily one of my favorite tracks off of the album just behind the song “You Can’t Stop Me Now”, which happened to be the first single and can be seen here. I’m loving the piano and Thea’s voice on this track, makes it hella melodic, especially for a hip-hop track.
Three new joints for you folks to check out. The first track is straight from the West Coast with Bishop Lamont, man this kid is mad talented. The last track that we posted on him was sick and here’s another banger. The second track some of y’all will recognize it for sure. When 50 Cent was dead broke and tryin to figure out “How To Rob An Industry Nig*a”, well Freddie Foxxx decided to take that beat and reserve some of these new school cats with a lyrical ass whoopin’. Third track is a remix of The RZA’s “You Can’t Stop Me Now”, which features U-God and Inspectah Deck and a long ass intro with Raekwon. Laced through parts of the song you can hear ODB’s signature chant.

As mentioned earlier in the week here’s the review for the RZA concert that took place on June 25th at Richards on Richards in Vancouver and presented by Sealed with a Kiss. Official tour name is “The Digi Snacks Tour” and it was insanely energetic from beginning to end.
The night kicked off with opening act soul band Stone Mecca, a 9 member band with literally 4 or 5 strong singers as they rotated off the lead throughout their set. Performing their songs “Come Home”, the soulful “In Love” where one lucky gentlemen was being sung to, “Strugglin”, “Life Music” and their track off of the Afro Samurai soundtrack “The Walk” amongst other songs. Their set definitely had the crowd vibing for what was next.
Last night yours truly was invited by Sealed with a Kiss promotions to check out the RZA show that was held. The show was fiya and the RZA came out hyped straight from the beginning, but more on the review of the show over the next day or two. This week’s Throwback Thursday is one of the RZA’s first projects, Gravediggaz. The group was formed in 1994 bringing together Prince Paul (The Undertaker) Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Too Poetic (The Grym Reaper), and RZA (The Rzarector). I know there are a few hiphop heads out there that weren’t feelin’ this group from the get go with their dark sense of humor and abrasive, menacing soundscapes. The video above is for the song “1-800-SUICIDE”, which was the third single off of the debut album 6 Feet Deep.
Back a week or so ago we posted the trailer for this video by RZA for his new single “You Can’t Stop Me Now”, that post can be seen here. This is off of the upcoming album Digi Snax. As mentioned in that post this video is directed by Dale “Rage” Resteghini.
ILLLLLLL! So how often do you see a trailer for an upcoming video, seriously? Well, here’s a RZA trailer for his upcoming video “You Can’t Stop Me Now / Drama” which is directed by Dale “Rage” Resteghini. The video has a Gotham City / Batman type feel, especially with the Wu symbol up in the sky.
Some more new music. Another joint coming off of RZA’s (Bobby Digital) upcoming album called Digi Snax, which is scheduled to drop this Summer. Second track is from The Game, fresh outta his short stint in jail, drops this new gem called “Big Dreams” and has the duo Cool & Dre producing the track. This is expected to be on his upcoming album called LAX.
