Guiseppe Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 27.01. GZA OF WU-TANG CLAN @ O2 ACADEMY, SHEFFIELD GZA (of Wu-Tang Clan) O2 Academy 2, Sheffield Fri 27 Jan 2012 Door time: 6.30pm Support acts: Micall Parknsun, Trellion and Sniff, TK One, Miggy Manacles, DJ Aggers, D-Rock, Andy H Tickets: £15 Under 21s require ID to purchase alcohol Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult over 18 at all times Finish: 10pm GZA p.k.a The Genius, is the co-founder of the hip hop group the Wu-Tang Clan. GZA has also appeared on his fellow Wu-Tang clan members' solo projects and has maintained an incredibly successful solo career, he's been in the game for nearly 20 years! He is one of the best lyricists of the 1990's, and one of the most popular Wu-Tang clan members. When it comes to thought provoking, street-bred raw lyricism, the Wu-Tang Clan's fountain of wisdom, GZA takes his job very seriously. The way he crafts his double-edged rhyme flow mirrors the skill and precise technique of one who works with fine ceramics. GZA's metaphoric and multi-layered lyrics are often touted by critics as his rap name implies; genius. Within the clan he is known as the spiritual head, being both the oldest and the first within the Wu to strike a solo deal. GZA's sophomore solo effort, Liquid Swords (1995), was produced entirely by RZA and the album was met with critical and commercial acclaim, and is still considered one of the best albums to come out of the Wu-Tang camp. Serving as the sequel, Liquid Swords 2: Return of the Shadowboxer is the seventh studio album scheduled to be released in 2012 on Babygrande Records, GZA's own record label. GZA's 2012 comeback is not just a comeback - it's a return of an entirely revolutionary thought process. Don't call GZA's comeback just a comeback, it's a return of an entirely revolutionary thought process and what makes the Genius' Liquid Sword a living legend in it's own time.
