RZA and DJ Scratch will release their full-length album, Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater. The CD is a love letter to the kung fu movies that ran on local television channels every Saturday when there were only five options. For a generation of young people, the films were a source of fantasy and creativity, as well as wonderfully brutal lessons in good vs. evil. RZA was able to focus on his first love, MCing, because DJ Scratch produced the album solely, which is a novel concept considering RZA’s major production presence on most of the projects he’s worked on. Despite never having collaborated in an official capacity, RZA and Scratch are both New York rap pioneers who have long respected each other’s work; in fact, Scratch released an instrumental album called “If The Wu Was Here” that was inspired by RZA’s production. DJ Scratch added, “It was an honor to produce & executive produce an entire album for a legendary MC, who happens to be one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time. This album is like a movie. The first track gives you the synopsis of the movie. The beats & the videos we shot will take you back to when you couldn’t wait to turn to channel 5 every Saturday at 3 pm to watch Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater. I’m proud of this project & I can’t wait to perform these songs live.
