RZA Explains The Challenges Of Directing A Movie Vs. Producing An Album [Video]

P.R. 1 Comment , ,

After years of being one of hip hop’s most prolific producers, the RZA made his successful directorial debut with his first feature film “The Man With The Iron Fists.” The film debuted at #3 in the box office with a pull of $8.8 million and RZA must be happy with the results. Now that the he’s gotten the proverbial monkey off of his back, TheWellVersed & 2DopeBoyz sat down with the producer/director to ask him the differences and difficulty of producing vs. directing. After pondering the question for a moment, RZA explained which one has been the bigger challenge… “The bigger task is directing,” RZA says from his couch nestled at Eli Roth’s Goretorium haunted house in Las Vegas. “Producing, of course, is a hard task. But you’re talking to a man that produced dozens of albums. Directing is producing to the 10th power.” Previously: RZA Says ODB Inspired “The Man With The Iron Fists” [Video]

Marz has been busy working with producer Om’Mas Keith (Frank Ocean, Odd Future, Sa-Ra), who is signed-on to executive produce Elephant Soundz. The album’s first leak, “DOLO,” is an ode to independence, produced by Polyester (Dom Kennedy). On the track, Marz displays her brilliant songwriting sensibilities, as she seamlessly showcases her lyrical ability and her knack for crafting infectious hooks. Marz has also been quite busy in Hollywood this year. She recently finished filming for director John Stockwell and producer Gordon Bijelonic’s forthcoming film, Kid Cannabis. Earlier this year, Marz made her cinematic debut in Common’s LUV which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2010, she released her debut EP This Little Light Of Mine, at just 19 years of age, to critical acclaim. OkayPlayer.com described the EP “an excellent debut…[Marz] has the ability to craft catchy hooks to make some noise in the mainstream crowd, and she has the lyrical prowess to hang with the best of the underground.” She has since toured the country and/or shared the stage with the likes of Eykah Badu, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Wu-Tang Clan, Yelawolf, and more. Marz Lovejoy’s debut album, Elephant Soundz will be released in 2013 via Elephant Soundz /iHipHop Distribution.
