RZA once said, “the first person you have to resurrect is yourself.”
When the enigmatic producer of the Wu Tang Clan released his first solo studio album, “Bobby Digital,” it was his moment to step out of the shadows. RZA masterminded Wu Tang’s 1993 classic “Enter the 36 Chambers,” and was the trigger point for one of the greatest rap groups ever. But, despite the central nature of the Abbot, he wasn’t allowed to be the star. That’s what made Bobby Digital so special. In an era where producers weren’t expected to take the next step, and despite the fact that there would never be a more popular version of RZA than the one pushing killer bees, Robert Diggs changed and moved forward without losing his identity.
