Liquid Swords Exclusive 2 LP

A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.

In the early to mid nineties and at the peak of his powers as a producer, Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA crafted a distinctive soundtrack at his basement studio in Staten Island. Whether or not he knew it at the time this haunting landscape of dusty samples, sharp snares and menacing urban gloom, would soon become a pillar of hip hop history. These instrumentals, peppered in with frequent interludes of dialogue from the classic samurai flick Shogun Assassin, became the core of the GZAs 1995 sophomore LP Liquid Swords and would eventually be considered by many as each individuals finest work. Cerebral,strategic and precise with his words, GZA crystallizes a range of influences – from chess to kung-fu films to mob flicks and Eastern philosophy – into sharply delivered rhymes.

1 Red LP, 1 Blue LP.
