Fresh from acting in Funny People, this September will see the RZA pack up his chessboard, reach for his well thumbed copy of the Art of War and his mic and travel across the Pond for a UK tour. Starting on the 29th the round of gigs is part of the launch event for his second book entitled The Tao of Wu. The new book details RZA’s own personal enlightenment and how he has sampled various religions and sub-cultures to create his own state of mind and vision of the world. We’re doubtful these dates will be book reading events  - expect bangers galore. Hopefully it will be as good as it sounds, the RZA is a hugely charismatic, articulate and entertaining individual and you only have to look at the diversity and prolific nature of the man’s CV; from his work with the Wu-Tang Clan to his solo work in the guise of Bobby Digital to his superb film scores such as the Ghost Dog Instrumental Soundtrack through to his acting appearances in flicks such as Coffee and Cigarettes; to realise the mans an original. Hey, even Bill Murray knows who he is. Not to be missed.
