Robert Diggs seems to birth a new alias with every day, fitting for someone as overflowing with rhymes, beats, ideas, and influences as the man most commonly known as the RZA. His music exists in a world akin to the Chinese kung-fu movies he loves--dark, ever-raining, with violence lurking around any given corner. The RZA's unpredictable career has ranged from fueling the Wu-Tang Clan's oddly fantastic audio odysseys to crafting backgrounds for wildly fanciful films by iconoclasts such as Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino.

BIRTH OF A PRINCE is just as intoxicatingly exceptional as the RZA's previous work would suggest, as likely to borrow from 1940s torch songs as from '70s funk, and as likely to reference Faye Dunaway and H.G. Wells as the Incredible Hulk and cars (and, of course, Wu-Tang). Not surprisingly, almost all of the original Wu-Tang members guest, and tracks like the back-to-back "Fast Cars" and "Chi Kung" would have both fit right in (and been standouts) on 36 CHAMBERS. Other tracks break down into ballads, odd chants, and whatever seems to fit RZA's fertile mind and commanding, perfectly-off-the-beat drawl at that moment. The result is another challenging yet wonderful record from rap seer of the highest order.

2 stars Disapointing!!!
This album was awful. Rza didn't show me that he cared about his project. Rza has more talent than this and It was just disapointing. I thought before I bought this album that it would be good because he usually does somthing different and tries to do somthing creative but he didn't do none of that. This album I will definitly take this cd back. This was disapointing and I hope this album won't go far.

5 stars GZA/Genius & Masta Killa - Duet Classic Coming Soon
Previous to the past RZA production, word is that GZA and Masta Killa had some songs they did together to put an album out on wax. In a recent discussion, the fans consider them the Clan members that have the sharpest lyrics and have never wrote a mediocre verse. I hope this is true because No Said Date and Liquid Swords are classic albums, so I cant imagine what this $hit will be like. Its also word that RZA gave them new 2005 RZA beats that sound like 1993 Wu bangaz and they're tha hardest he's ever created. I hope this happens, seriously.... ...what do ya'll expect Producers: RZA / 4th Disciple / Arabian Knight / Allah Mathematics / Tru Master Guests: None Release Date: November 2005
