Went to see RZA supporting his new Digi Snax album a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome. Bobby dropped jewels in a pre-show Q & A and performed some bona fide classics, but the highlight for me was discovering a DJ/producer from LA called Flying Lotus, who opened the show. His futuristic, synth-laden, bass-heavy production was reminiscent of Dilla, Black Milk, Madlib and Sa-Ra. He was really entertaining too; rather than crouching over the decks with his headphones on, he was dancing around, singing along, interacting with the crowd and generally having a great time. He played some Wu classics and some quality electronic music, accompanied by a pretty impressive light-show.
Anyhoo, it's always good to discover a dope artist and I've been trawling the internets for his previous material. "July Heat" is an instrumental compilation I hope you'll enjoy (click the picture above to d/l).
