#WU TANG LIQUID SWORDS FULL ALBUM SERIES#
Other entertainers scheduled to perform at le poisson rouge as part of the series include DOMi & JD Beck (10/7), Son Little (10/21), Too Many Zooz (10/24), and comedian Chris Gethard (12/10). RZA’s sole verse on Liquid Swords comes on the track ‘4 th Chamber’ and it would be scandalous not to spend some time discussing what is undoubtedly one of GZA’s most well-known tracks. GZA’s complex lyricism and weighty, cinematic Samurai imagery have made the album a cult classic in the years since its release, earning it widespread praise as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. The album heavily samples dialogue from the martial arts film Shogun Assassin and maintains a dark atmosphere. Recording sessions for the album began mid-way through 1995 at producer RZA's basement studio in the New York City borough of Staten Island. GZA landed at Geffen Records for his first post-Wu record, and Liquid Swords was released on November 7th, 1995 to critical and commercial acclaim, peaking at number nine on the Billboard 200 chart and eventually earning a platinum certification from the RIAA. Liquid Swords is the second solo studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA, released on November 7, 1995, by Geffen Records. By 1995, however, Wu-Tang Clan was the hottest thing in the music world thanks to the success of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and RZA had begun shopping the group’s individual MCs out to different major record labels for their respective solo debuts-all of which the RZA produced. Liquid Swords marked GZA’s second solo release following the NYC native’s pre-Wu 1991 album Words from the Genius under the moniker The Genius, which failed to initially make much commercial impact.

The GZA Liquid Swords stream will take place on Friday, November 6th. Liquid Swords is the second solo studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA, released on November 7, 1995, by Geffen Records. GZA, the multi-hyphenate hip-hop luminary and founding Wu-Tang Clan member, will perform his 1995 solo album, Liquid Swords, in its entirety in honor of its 25th anniversary as part of New York City venue (le) poisson rouge‘s LPR.tvsubscription livestream series, which presents crowd-less performances from the venue’s dearly missed Greenwich Village space with full production and soundboard audio.
