Raekwon wasn’t lying about the Rza’s guitar, a gift from Russell Crowe. I guess he’s not feeling the hippy vibe but yo, it might not be that bad. Seems like INS and U-God are down. But it does sound like Rza’s production style has been forever altered so don’t hope to strongly for that ’93 vibe. He’s experimenting a lot with gear and recording and mixing techniques. Messing with 3 mics in one booth? No samples? Logic, Pro-Tools, Reason? Can’t wait to get a listen. Link
