By far the busiest Clan member; produces everything for the Clan and offshoots. He has also produced tracks for many other artists including Notorious B.I.G., Sunz Of Man & Killarmy. "He's a complex nigga", says Method Man. "His whole mind is like a game o'chess". The RZA is currently working on the Wu-Tang record label Razor Sharp Records. The RZA, The Genius/GZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard had the deepest roots in the clan, in the early 80's they were part of a group called 'All In Together Now', very little is known about the group, and no material has surfaced from them, but according to other Wu members, if this group had of surfaced in Hip-Hop at that time, they would have been the greatest group of all time, following this misterious venture, The RZA, at this time known as Prince Rakeem secured a record deal with Tommy Boy, and released his first EP 'Ooh We Love You Rakeem' this turned out to be a great embarrasment for The RZA, but in the few songs that were made with the EP, The RZA's distinctive style was starting to be recognised, after The RZA and his cousin The Genius recovered from these bad deals, they went back to basement, got their friends together and formed The Wu-Tang Clan. With their fantastic promo tapes they secured a comfortable deal which gave the Wu the required flexibility to do their own thing, a record deal with Loud Records and with this deal came 'Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers'. The RZA also formed The Gravediggaz with Too Poetic, Fruitwan and Prince Paul. The Gravediggaz album contains cameos by Biz Markie, MC Serch, Kurious George, Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Killah Priest and Master Ace. Ree Underdog and Portishead. RZA had a hand in album by Clan affiliate Shyheim The Rugged Child. Has produced tracks for Tricky, Cypress Hill and basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal, and remixes for Supercat and SWV. Made the solo single 'Wu-Wear' with Cappadonna and Method Man, it features the Wu-Tang's clothing line.The RZA released another solo single featuring The Truths called 'Tragedy' this excellent track was seasoned with a phat video to accompany it returning to the clan's Kung-Fu origins.
