The wait is over for hip-hop and rap fans as DJ Muggs and GZA reunite on “DJ Muggs VS GZA The Genius: Grandmasters.” The long awaited album, set to release Tuesday, October 25 on Angeles Records, has created an astounding street buzz in the Hip-Hop world. Cypress Hill’s own scratch master, DJ Muggs is the mastermind behind the tracks while GZA of the notorious Wu-Tang Clan, takes Hip-Hop lovers back to their roots. The album also features the legendary rap artists Raekwon, RZA, Masta Killa, Sen Dog and Prodigal Sunn. DJ Muggs has produced tracks for Cypress Hill, House of Pain’s “Jump Around” and Ice Cube’s “Check Yo Self.” He has also created a series of collaborative solo albums featuring Goodie Mobb, KRS-One, Mobb Deep and Dr. Dre. Muggs and GZA first came together in 1997 on “Muggs Presents: The Soul Assassins Ch.1” and team up once again to blow the seal off of Hip-Hop. With tracks such as “General Principals” and “Those That’s Bout It,” Muggs creates beat reminiscent of Wu- Tang’s previous albums while GZA spits lyrics that will keep everyone talking. Critically acclaimed, GZA, known for his elaborate metaphors, pays tribute to former Clan member, ODB on “All In Together Now,” which is also the name of his former rap group. Filled with its old skool flavor, surreal tracks and lyrical appeal, “DJ Muggs vs. GZA The Genius: Grandmasters” is the album that will automatically become a Hip-Hop favorite. About DJ Muggs Most known for his seminal work as the DJ and producer behind the legendary rap group Cypress Hill, Muggs has worked alongside rap heavyweights from Dr Dre, Wyclef, Mob Deep, GZA, and RZA , to name a few. Indeed with such an extensive credo, Muggs is a heavyweight himself. Also part of the group the Soul Assassins, Muggs today has his own radio show on Sirius Satellite on Shade 45 called “Mash-Up Radio” and tours with multi-platinum groups like Blink 182. Most recently, Muggs scored one scene in the new Ice Cube movie "XXX.” About GZA Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in every borough of New York City, The GZA's workmanship can be found three albums deep with classics dating back to 1991. When it comes to thought provoking, street-bred raw lyricism, the Wu-Tang Clan's fountain of wisdom, GZA takes his job very seriously. The way he crafts his double-edged rhyme flow mirrors the skill and precise technique of one who works with fine ceramics. GZA's metaphoric and multi-layered lyrics are often touted by critics as his rap name implies; genius. |
