Liquid Swords by The GZA, aka The Genius, is his second studio album, and easily one of the best solo efforts from the members of the Wu-Tang. It features copious samples from the 1980 film Shogun Assassin, and generally kicks ass from first song to last.
My personal favourite track is “Killah Hills 10304”; I love the story it tells and the multiple references to real-life events which rewards research. Here’s GZA performing a few tracks from the album for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert along with the Soul Rebels back in 2018:
Enjoy your night, everyone!
