Wu-Tang beatmaker RZA will step out of the Clan to bring his sci-fi alter ego Bobby Digital back for the first time in almost a decade. RZA will unleash Digi Snacks on July 1st, followed by a month-long tour. We spoke to the legendary producer about his new solo record, and predictably, he was elusive. There may or may not be guest rappers or fellow Wu clansmen to help Bobby Digital in his latest adventure. How about producers? “As the emcee, it’s hard for me to produce all the tracks myself, so there’s about three or four producers on the album as well,” RZA says. “But I’m not gonna bat out their names right now.” RZA also admitted that there’s thirteen songs, but wouldn’t embellish beyond the two already-internet-released tracks “Drama” and first single and “You Can’t Stop Me Now,” featuring Wu-Tang’s Inspectah Deck. “‘You Can’t Stop Me Now’ was made for Digi Snacks, but I tried to put it on 8 Diagrams because it felt the vibe of 8 Diagrams. But there was too much Bobby, too much RZA, so I said, ‘You know what, I’ll hook it up with this joint,’” RZA says.

RZA describes the album as “fun.” (more…)
