Wu Tang Clan leader The RZA recently discussed his venture into the book world, with the release of his book "The Wu-Tang Manual."
The book is RZA’s first written work and contains his thoughts, a dictionary containing “Wu Slang,” a section devoted to an analysis of Wu Tang’s lyrics, never-before-seen photos of the group and other offerings.
RZA said he was pleased with the results of the first book and hinted that a follow-up was in the works.
“I can't tell you when the second part is coming out,” RZA said. “We're keeping that a secret for the moment."
RZA, who is currently in the studio recording a new album with Method Man, said the response to the book was overwhelming.
“I have little kids come up to me saying [The Wu-Tang Manual] changed their lives and perspectives on life,” RZA said.
According to RZA, more people have shown up for his in-store booking signing than for album releases. “One girl came up to me and said she had bought ten copies of the book and gave it away to all her girlfriends to read,” RZA
In related news, RZA and Busta Rhymes are overseeing the production of Raekwon’s highly anticipated release, Only Built For Cuban Linx 2.
