Read moreQuentin Tarantino presents The Man With the Iron Fists, an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director, co-writer and leading man, RZA alongside an exciting international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero who all descend on one fabled village in China for a winner- takes-all battle for a fortune in gold. Blending astonishing martial-arts sequences from some of the masters of this world with the signature vision he brings as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and as one of hip-hop’s most dominant figures of the past two decades, RZA embarks upon his most ambitious, stylized and thrilling project to date. Joining Crowe, RZA and Liu in the cast are Rick Yune, Jamie Chung, Cung Le, Dave Bautista, Byron Mann, Daniel Wu and Pam Grier. The Soundtrack features original songs created for the film by artists including The Black Keys, Kanye West, the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah, Wiz Khalifa, Talib Kweli, Pusha T, Raekwon, Method Man and RZA who collaborates with Flatbush Zombies as well as The Black Keys.

Read moreLegendary producer/rapper RZA, The Abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan, is responsible for creating the music behind some of the most sacred hip-hop albums of all time, such as Wu debut Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, and GZA’s Liquid Swords. So it was only right that he bless us with a banging soundtrack for his upcoming Quentin Tarantino-produced martial arts film The Man with the Iron Fists, which he co-wrote and directed. The soundtrack for the film features all the original living members of the Wu-Tang Clan (there’s even one song with six of them rhyming back-to-back on it) plus production and raps by RZA, as well as appearances by seasoned spitters Kool G Rap, Talib Kweli, and Pusha T. There’s also a heavy presence of new talent sprinkled throughout the project too, with guest spots from Wiz Khalifa, Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies, and more. Not to mentions songs with Grammy-winners The Black Keys, Kanye West, and Corinne Bailey Rae. Last week, we sat down with RZA in the Music Hall of Williamsburg’s basement bar area before his tour performance to get a track-by-track breakdown of The Man with the Iron Fists soundtrack, which will be officially released October 23. He shared the stories behind all of the songs, from how each artist got involved in the project to how the tracks are related to different scenes and themes in the movie. Bong bong.

Read moreRZA has been slowly letting the world hear tracks from his upcoming soundtrack to The Man With the Iron Fists, but so far, the Wu-Tang Clan mastermind has allowed others to do the talking. Now, Fuse is proud to exclusively premiere “The Baddest Man Alive,” the opening track from the soundtrack featuring the Black Keys and RZA himself. We’ve already heard “Black Out” featuring Ghostface Killah, M.O.P. and Pharoahe Monch, “Built For This” with Method Man, Freddie Gibbs and Streetlife and Wu-Tang Clan’s “Six Directions of Boxing“. Now there’s “Baddest,” a swampy, creeping track that re-imagines the desolation and eeriness of an Ennio Morricone track as produced by B.B. King. Opening as a deft mix of bottom-heavy drums and blues guitar licks, Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach brags that he can “take the pitchfork from the devil” and “handcuff the judge and put a cop in jail” on a track that wouldn’t be out of place on a future Handsome Boy Modeling School album. via Previously: Wu-Tang Clan – Six Directions Of Boxing [Audio]
