This November sees a string shows from the Wu-tang Clan’s founder member GZA the Genius across the UK, celebrating the Launch of his new album ‘Pro Tools’. With Dates in Glasgow, London and Bristol, fans can expect some new material in these shows (no shortage of Fifty-cent-hating!) as well as the best of his previous records and some classic Wu tracks.

The GZA needs no introduction. It’s as simple as that. Go back to the original Wu-Tang album, ‘Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers’, and you still get the best definition out there in the form of “Self explanatory”. Anyway, to not know the GZA is to not know the story of the greatest hip-hop group the world has ever seen, in both musical and cultural credentials.

Seen by many as the intellectual and philosophical heart of the Clan The GZA formed the group with The RZA and Ol’ Dirty Bastard after becoming massively disillusioned with the industry and with a resolve to do things their own way. He has smashed it ever since through Wu-tang group work and solo albums from Liquid Swords through ‘Beneath the Surface’ to ‘Legend of the Liquid Sword’ and ‘Grandmasters’ (with DJ muggs).

This is an opportunity not to be missed then, these shows are guaranteed to highlight the best bits from an illustrious career that has spanned almost two decades, incorporated all elements of Hip-Hop culture and generally pioneered it all along the way. And with some of the best UK acts around as support, November is starting to look a lot hotter!
