Liquid Swords
“As a solo artist, GZA was essentially everything that distinguished Wu-Tang Clan from other crews: strictly chess, kung-fu, battle raps, investigative reports, mysticism. This masterful 1995 collection is the most potent distillation of that aesthetic.”
Legend of the Liquid Sword
“GZA's 1995 debut, *Liquid Swords*, is arguably Wu-Tang's finest hour; the lyrical force GZA unleashed on that album sucked the listener through a black hole beneath the subways of NYC into a grimy hip-hop Twilight Zone inhabited by Shaolin monks, microphone magicians, and linguistic architects. While GZA was busy creating mystical spheres with his rhymes, RZA laid down his most stark, violent prod”
Pro Tools
“On the heels of a disappointing Bobby Digital record, another longtime Wu-Tang member proves he still has a deft command of language, metaphor, and narrative.”
