GZA Sets Release

07/25/2008
. (PR) One of the most continually relevant hip-hop emcees of all time, GZA returns August 19th with his long awaited fifth solo album, Pro Tools.

An original member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, GZA has established himself as a perennial force in hip-hop over the last two decades. On this first-leaked track, "Paper Plate" - when he's taking on a certain Vitamin Water mogul - GZA infuses his flow with vivid imagery and metaphorical symbolism, with the reference to "Paper Plate" connoting the disposability of certain emcees' rhymes and their questionable long term career prospects.

Over 104 bars worth of witty rhymes and imaginative wordplay has GZA effortlessly re-introducing the world to his lyrical genius.
