More new RZA

The man known as Bobby Digital is back with another offering from the upcoming Digi Snax. This time Monk, a member of Wu-Tang sub-group Black Knights, and Thea, one of RZA's European acts, guest on a cover of the classic GZA/Genius song. Much more interesting than You Can't Stop Me Now, Drama is simple yet intricately pieced together - a simple piano melody backed by nice, clear drums and (another) funky guitar outro. Thea steals the show with a great voice. I can't quite pick it, but it sounds something like Chrisette Michelle mixed with Beth Gibbons. Still, one to look out for. Digi Snax should be out around August on Koch Records.

sidenote - It seems like Robert Diggs is taking control of his (probable) post-Wu career - of all the Clan members to branch out since 2001, RZA has put out the most interesting projects next to Ghostface. For those who missed them, be sure to check out the Afro Samurai soundtrack & 2003's The World According to RZA.

super duper - If you can find a copy of Fannypack's sophomore album get it. It's great. I'll upload a couple of choice songs soon.
