Genius/GZA - Liquid Swords CD

Sony

''Liquid Swords'' is the second solo studio album by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA, released November 7, 1995 on Geffen Records. Recording sessions for the album began mid-way through 1995 at producer RZA's basement studio in Staten Island New York. The album heavily samples dialogue from the martial arts film ''Shogun Assassin'' and maintains a dark atmosphere throughout its course, while it incorporates lyrical references to chess, crime and philosophy. Though credited as a GZA album, ''Liquid Swords'' features numerous guest appearances from the entire nine piece Wu-Tang Clan.
