DAILY FIX: Bobby Digital (Rza) “Holocaust” Feat…

by | Jul 14, 2011 | MUSIC

You know Wu-Tang Clan, right? You’ve heard of Rza but do you remember the Bobby Digital album? In 1998, when Rza released it, it was way out of the realm of what had been expected from Wu by their fans so it never recieved the attention I felt it deserved. I must admit, It took me a few rotations to realize how ahead of the moment this gem really was, and for that reason it’s withstood my playlists test of time. It’s been twelve years now and I think the world is ready to revisit Rza As Bobby Digital (In Stereo).

Bobby Digital ft Holocaust, Doc Doom & Ghostface Killah

This song was my introduction to the lesser known Wu-Tang affiliate, but unquestionably one of the most talented lyricists I’ve ever laid my ears on. “Holocaust” was originally meant to be titled “Silkworm” till the Emcee of the same name (Holocaust aka WarCloud – more recently known as Robot Tank) stepped into the booth and came so correct that Rza saw fit to name the song after him. I recommend Rza as Bobby Digital (In Stereo) to anyone interested in digging up some classic Hip Hop their friends never heard of. In addition, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the WarCloud, Smuggling Booze In The Graveyard album.
