RZA As Bobby Digital – Bobby Digital In Stereo (2Lp/Translucent Red Vinyl) (Rsd) Vinyl Lp

Description

For RSD 2023 Bobby Digitals Origin Story Is Revisited With An
Exclusive Tranlucent Red Double Vinyl Pressing
In November of 1998, Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA unleashed his first solo record,
and his memorable alter-ego, Bobby Digital. Bobby Digital In Stereo is essentially a
soundtrack. A soundtrack to a Blaxploitation/Martial arts film that never was – at least
outside of the imagination of the artist and the listener – as RZA channels the martial
arts superhero (or perhaps anti-hero) inspirations of his youth into his Bobby Digital
persona. The recording follows a loose storyline of RZAs endeavors as Bobby Digital
– out to enlighten the people of the projects to the poisons of the hood that surrounded
them every day. Production-wise, the release features a different approach from RZAs
work with Wu-Tang – a layered experimental keyboard driven sound instead of dusted
sample-heavy beats – a technique RZA called the Digital Orchestra. Bobby Digital In
Stereo rode to number 16 on the Billboard top 200 – peaked at number 3 on the Top
R&B/Hip Hop albums chart – and went on to RIAA Gold status. Bobby Digital In Stereo
is now regarded by many as the best of RZAs Bobby Digital projects.
