Bounce-Worthy: Daru

Michigan-born drummer Daru lists his musical idols much as many other producers would had they grown up in the '80s and '90s: Marley Marl, Erick Sermon, RZA, Pete Rock, and DJ Premier. But it may be his musical training that helps...

Rap Snacks, Soul Cynic

RZA Shows Love To The Ladies On New Album Cover. If By 'Love' You Mean 'Objectify.'

Wu-Tang leader RZA has a new album in the works as his alter ego Bobby Digital. I loved RZA as Bobby Digital and thought his alter ego was a great concept (Prince Rakeem notwithstanding), even when he completely went misogynistic on...
