About
The RZA (born Robert Fitzgerald Diggs) is one of the legendary staples of hip-hop mucis. The de facto leader of the Wu-Tang Clan produced most of the collective's body of work, which also included rappers Method Man, GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. Following the death of member Ol' Dirty Bastard, Wu-Tang Clan started to branch out, and RZA turned his attention to numerous solo projects while also breaking into film. While the Wu-Tang Clan rarely performs together anymore (they did reunite for the 2013 Coachella Festival), it hasn't prevented RZA from playing concerts with his numerous side projects, though he has personally stated more of an interest in acting and directing as of late.
Since the group's inception in 1992, performances have been notorious for high-energy rapping, gritty instrumentals and flawless chemistry. As a result, tickets to RZA or Wu-Tang Clan concerts sell out fast. Along with five Wu-Tang albums (and a rumored sixth), RZA has also released four solo albums, with the latest being "Digi Snacks" in 2008. RZA goes by several aliases and has also worked with horrorcore group Gravediggaz and Achozen (with Shavo Odadjian from System of a Down).
Arguably the greatest hip-hop group of all-time, Wu-Tang Clan was established by RZA in the early 1990s, along with Staten Island friend Ol' Dirty Bastard. The platinum-selling "Enter the Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers)" celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2013. Wu-Tang Clan trademark singles include "Protect Ya Neck," "C.R.E.A.M.," "Reunited" and "Gravel Pit." Classic RZA solo tracks include "You Can't Stop Me Now" and "Kiss of a Black Widow." He has also appeared in over ten films and made his directorial debut in 2012. RZA is the epitome of an 'entertainer.' He has done it all from producing to rapping, acting to directing, marketing to management -- making him a hot commodity on tour.

by Rae on 11/13/23Gramercy Theatre - New YorkI really loved the re-imagination of this Iconic album into something visual as well as a sonic experience. The moment I saw the dancers step on stage with the familiar chords and sounds of an album that has meant so much to me I felt tears fill my eyes. Beautifully done, wonderfully performed! It was like being inside the mind of the Rza and sitting in a creative studio session with his thoughts!

by Will on 11/12/23Gramercy Theatre - New YorkThe RZA put on a great show. He explained one of the greatest albums in the 90’s “Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers” in his point of view. The setting was up close and personal. I had a great time.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Brilliant! Hip-hop+Orchestra!!
by GG on 11/12/23Gramercy Theatre - New YorkRZAs 30th anniversary celebration of 36 Chambers demonstrated his diverse contributions to the hip-hop genre. A trailblazer from the outset is his career, the vibe engaged the audience in a visually and lyrically stimulating experience. The classical music instruments coupled with rap storytelling was vibrant. The dancers fun to watch. And the lyrics on the screen pulled the crowd into the performance. It was our first time at the Gramercy Theater. It was more intimate than expected. All was very well organized from shepherding folks into the theater, to ease of access to the bar and restrooms, to the welcoming staff. Highly recommend!

by Pharoah on 11/11/23Gramercy Theatre - New YorkMy son and I flew from Arizona for the show. Most thought we were crazy. But it was worth every cent. I would see it again if I could. It was masterfully constructed. Going through the whole album with a live orchestra which my son loved. Dance, and perfomances, and reennactment of all the skits from the album. I really enjoyed that the orchestra starter playing the original song that was sampled before transitioning to the actual song on the album. RZA is a genius and Stone Mecca help direct the transitions was masterful. I highly recommend to anyone willing to have a experience they won't forget. It's not a play a concert, or a show, it's in its own category that I can only call a experience.
