Free Music Notes for The Birth of a Prince
Free Music Review: A glimpse of the much anticipated "The Cure" album
Hit: 4 Stars
Rza returns (for half the album) to his bobby steels / rzarector persona on this album and it is about time. Rza takes the listener through a semi autobiographical journey. The album starts out with a young bobby partying and selling drugs without much care for the future or wisdom. Eventually his drug dealer gets him to read a book (not sure what book this is, anyone know?) and bobby changes his outlook on life and becomes spiritual. He changes his name to Prince Rakeem (his first alias). The second half of the album is filled with conscious bangers and is a glimpse into his self hyped masterpiece "The Cure". Rza constantly drops science in the last few tracks and if those songs are a preview to the cure (as I read in an interview with RZA) I am very excited. There are plenty of weak songs to bring down the overall album, half is great and half is mediocre.

The Birth of a Prince Poster
After two albums as Bobby Digital, RZA finally releases an album as… RZA. Although those hoping to hear his signature Wu-Tang soul style may come away disappointed, the man's mastery over dissonance continues. Tracks like "The Whistle" and "The Grunge" scrape fingernails on the chalkboard, but make it sound funky. Guest producers like Tru Masta and Choco help shoulder the load with some beats that sound like vintage RZA (such as Tru Masta's "Fast Cars") and others that take him in new directions. Lyrically, RZA gets even grittier than he did in his Bobby D days, spitting rusty-nail rhymes about his thug past, blasting shotguns, and swinging his Shaolin sword. As he twists your mind on the mellowing "A Day to God Is 1000 Years" and masters his lyrical martial arts on "Chi Kung," RZA reminds us that he's not just the Wu's scientist of sound, but he's also one of the crew's forgotten MC talents. --Oliver WangRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
