The Alamo Drafthouse Presents RZA: Live From The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin [Video]

After 18 months of careful planning, it’s finally here. Award winning musician and film director RZA (founder of the Wu-Tang Clan) is unleashing his hip-hop genius on the mother of all martial arts masterpieces, Lau Kar-leung’s THE 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN in a live re score for the ages. Long before he was universally acknowledged as a guiding force in hip-hop by birthing Staten Island’s finest clan, RZA was an obsessive encyclopedia of martial arts cinema, in particular the work of the famed Shaw Brothers studio out of Hong Kong. RZA first saw THE 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN on television when he was 12 years old and again 2 years later on the big screen of a seedy 42nd Street theater with his cousin, Unique (who went on to become Ol’ Dirty Bastard). Dazzled by Kar-leung’s rich kung-fu tapestry, RZA (then Robert Diggs) was most profoundly affected by something that ran much deeper: the struggle between oppressed Chinese villagers and the repressive Manchu authority. “Beyond the kung-fu, it was the reality of the situation that hit me. Growing up as a black kid in America, I didn’t know that that kind of story had existed anywhere else,” said RZA. In viewing THE 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN in this allegorical light, RZA was inspired to create a wildly complex mythology, transforming his immediate urban surroundings of Staten Island into a Shaolin and his cousins and childhood friends into the Wu-Tang Clan. The resulting effort is one that stands as one of

LoVel – I Swear [Audio]

Harlem singer/producer LoVel delivers a lush and atmospheric new single, “I Swear,” that embraces living and enjoying the good life. For the multi-talented artist, that means concocting the perfect recipe of finding the right girl for the night, and throwing back tequila shots until last call. The hypnotizing track arrives on the heels of LoVel’s recent, wave-making release of his remix for “Me Too,” which features XXL Freshman and bubbling rapper, Dave East. While that cut had a distinctive and fitting Hip-Hop vibe to it, “I Swear” embraces modern R&B’s flirtations with more spacious sounds. It’s enveloping and airy, yet also grounded by a rich low-end supplying plenty of bass. Despite the varied sonics, both tracks were produced by the same duo, LoVel and his go-to collaborator, Al-Taquan. And when you also consider the work they did on LoVel’s well received EP, Backseat Memories, it becomes clear that these are two artists certainly worth checking for. “I Swear” is set to be featured on LoVel’s forthcoming release, ‘Passenger,’ which is the follow-up to ‘Backseat Memories,’ and the second part of a three part series. The track is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms through LoVel’s recently launched imprint, The Legaxy Era.
