GZA to Release New LP, Recaptures Title of Genius

Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game. Also Known as W-U-T-A-N-G. Nine men coming together to utterly destroy the world of rap. Sounds difficult, right? Not when you have one of the most brilliant artists to ever come out of Shaolin (Staten Island) running the show.

Wu-Tang Clan pioneer and appointed leader The GZA is planning to release his latest album, Pro Tools, August 19 on Babygrande Records. The album will be The Genius’ first solo album since 2002’s Legend of the Liquid Sword and will ride off the success of the Clan’s powerful last effort, 2007’s 8 Diagrams (TMT Review).

Here’s my favorite part: The GZA will be going on tour throughout August and September to help promote the album.
