Best known as the de-facto leader of Staten Islands finest, Wu-tang Clan, RZA has given us some of the most incredible hip-hop music of all time. He created an entire world with his haunting samples, which eventually become his signature, molding classic tracks from Raekwon’s “Ice Cream,” the timeless "Bring The Pain” by Method Man, and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Ya”. 

Perhaps what we forget is that RZA has contributed to many other timeless records over the years. He has made entirely out of the box, blues-rock records to working with the new generation of hip-hop; RZA has solidified himself as a staple of hip-hop culture and one of the greatest producers of all time.
