Wu-Tang Clan rap star RZA pivots to ballet: 'People would call it leftfield - but it's right in my alley'

You'll find classical influences and samples throughout the Wu-Tang Clan's music, says RZA. Now, he has pushed his passion even further, composing a ballet score based on rediscovered notebooks he filled with lyrics as a teenager.

He is one of hip-hop's most influential voices, mastermind of the groundbreaking Wu-Tang Clan collective - as well as a solo star, producer, filmmaker and actor.

Now, US rapper RZA is turning his hand to classical with a symphonic ballet.

He began working on the record during the pandemic, inspired by the discovery of an old Tommy Hilfiger book bag stuffed with notebooks he had filled over five years from the age of 14; lyrics on life and love as a teenage Robert Diggs, who grew up in the housing projects of Brownsville, in Brooklyn, New York, and later Staten Island.

There was a story to be told, he felt. The obvious thing to do would be to turn the words into rap, the music he is best known for. But it evolved into something new.

"I started reading through these lyrics and I'm recalling all the young love, the young exploration. The first time you had a drink or smoke. All this is written in my lyrics, like a lyrical diary... at first I thought I should rap it, right. Because I'm known as a rapper. But then I said, no, I should just write music to it."

Starting at his piano, the project became A Ballet Through Mud, a coming-of-age story told through music that delves into the complexities of love and the bonds of friendship - very different to the music most of RZA's fans will know him for. It was performed to a standing ovation by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and dancers from the Alvin Ailey dance theatre school on stage in Denver 2023. Now, RZA is releasing the score as his first classical album.

"I think I've definitely been a guy that's pushing the boundaries and trying to surprise people," he says. "Definitely, you know, people would call it leftfield for me. But it's not, it's right in my alley." He describes the work as a "natural creative evolution" and says he has always been "fascinated" by classical music and composers, inspired by everyone from Mozart, Beethoven and Bach to Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, Sergei Prokofiev - who wrote the children's symphony Peter And The Wolf - and Quincy Jones's collaborations with Frank Sinatra.

"Looking at Peter And The Wolf and knowing every character, every animal in that ballet or suite had an instrument to match to it - the flute was the bird, the trombone was the wolf... I started learning then that you can take instruments and give them characters," he says. "As a movie composer, that philosophy got reinforced."

The title, A Ballet Through Mud, is symbolic of his own life. He references his formative years in Staten Island, or Shaolin, as Wu-Tang rechristened it. "The mud is considered to be foul, dirty... you know, I'm RZA, I'm from the slums of Shaolin. But yet, out of the mud grows the lotus plant, considered pure, beautiful... so hopefully, you can go through the mud and come back up a lotus."

It tells the story of six young people with a theme of "youthful exploration", he says. "I thought about women in the sense of how men, that we are still kind of in the cave when it comes to our emotions, we're like cavemen." One of the characters isn't sure how to communicate with the girl he likes, he says. "It was from one of my lyrics... as a high school guy, I fell in love with some girl and was scared to tell her."

His fellow Wu-Tang Clan members are yet to hear the entire score, he says. "But we did a tour last year with Nas and if you came on my bus, you had to hear some [of this] music," he laughs. "But everybody who heard it, they said it sounds beautiful."

Of course, RZA isn't the first hip-hop star to embrace classical music. In July, Cypress Hill made their debut at the Royal Albert Hall in London , performing hits from their seminal album Black Sunday alongside the London Symphony Orchestra. That show happened to be inspired by an almost 30-year-old joke in The Simpsons, famous predictor of the future, but rappers B-Real and Sen Dog have long had classical influences.

"We started off as hip-hop artists, this is what we love to do, the roots of our existence," said B-Real ahead of the show. "But we've always challenged ourselves to be out of the box and do different things."

In recent years, ravers have also embraced the genre at classical tours by the likes of club favourites Ministry Of Sound and the Hacienda. And there has also been a metal crossover with the likes of Metallica performing releasing albums with the San Francisco Symphony - and even a Black Sabbath ballet .

RZA says there are parallels between hip-hop and classical. "If you listen to some of the Wu-Tang production you hear I bring in strings. You'll hear some of my production has incorporated classical samples." He cites famous examples of hip-hop sampling classical scores, such as Beethoven's Fur Elise in Nas's I Can.

The rapper began studying more himself when he scored his first film, Ghost Dog: The Way Of The Samurai, starring Forest Whitaker, released in 1999. He went on to score other films, including Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. "These types of ideas have been evolving in me through my progression of work," he says. "It's like it's in my blood now."

As we speak, RZA is working in post-production on his latest project, the upcoming film One Spoon Of Chocolate, which he has directed. Across music and film, he has never wanted to tie himself down to one genre or medium of art. In September, the Wu-Tang Clan play shows in Las Vegas - extra dates added to a residency billed as "more than a concert... a tribute to their prolific careers as individuals and as the most storied group in hip-hop history".

The most expensive album ever made

And earlier this year, their famous unique and rarely-heard 2015 record Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, the most expensive album ever made, made headlines once again as it went on display briefly as a piece of fine art in Australia. The album exists in a sole physical CD copy, created at the time as a statement on the value of music as streaming started to take over, and comes with a legal stipulation that the owner cannot publicly release the tracks until 2103.

The record was bought at auction for $2m (£1.5m at the time) by pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli in 2015, but was sold again by the US government to clear debts after he was jailed for defrauding investors. Earlier this year, about 500 fans got to hear the music - complete with a reported Cher cameo - at secret listening sessions.

It has been a wild journey. "Some of its journey has taken me by surprise and I think rightfully so," says RZA. "To me, that album has a life of its own and that's something I wanted for it, in all reality. It was a statement that was supposed to breed conversation. You know, should music be devalued? Is there more value on it when you can't have it? Is music really considered a serious form of art by today's society?

"Because it was like that as I was growing up... to get up and save my coins and then get on a bus and go to a record store and get it and read it, the cover, and open it and put it on, and to hold it... so you don't get fingerprints on it. It is something we value. And now it's more like swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe. I always said that it was similar to an Egyptian sceptre, something that belongs in museums and art galleries. It ended up there this year and that had nothing to do with me, you know. I heard that people came from around the world, they flew in to hang out, you know. And I wasn't even there. It's like my son right now. He's over in college right now, hanging out with his buddies, and I don't know what's going on, he's just having his own life."

There is a part of him that would love to still be involved in some way, he says. But that was never the point. "There's always a piece of me on anything that I've created or been part of that, you know, you want it kind of for yourself - but it don't belong to you. It's created for the world. And whoever gets a chance to hear it and enjoy it and create their own memories with it... those memories won't belong to me."

For now, though, he is concentrating on his classical work. He hopes it will inspire young children to learn instruments and feel "it's cool to grab that violin or oboe".

He continues: "It's a certain type of brain stimulation that comes from this type of music creation. Hip-hop and rock music, or just say today's music, has been able to be created on a computer, and that's great, that's the power of an orchestra in your hand." But knowing how to play an instrument, he adds, enables you to be "more elaborate, more communicative - not cookie-cutter".

And after A Ballet Through Mud, there is more to come, he promises. "I'm not going to stop here. I've already started writing something for the future that I'm also fascinated with."

You heard it here first. RZA, the hip-hop legend - now adding another string to his bow.

Hottest Hip-Hop Tours of 2023

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop by seeing some masters of the craft and today’s newest hip-hop stars on tour. What began as a small back-to-school party thrown by two teen siblings living in the Bronx, would become the catalyst for the creation of hip-hop music and culture. From early records spun by a young Clive Campbell aka DJ Kool Herc to the award-winning artists of today, this music genre created a space that recognizes and celebrates African-American art, fashion, media and culture overall. Check out the wide range of 2023 hip-hop concerts that have kept the legacy alive.

Hip-Hop Classics

Early hip-hop in the ‘70s was influenced by jazz and R&B artists like Nat King Cole and Nina Simone along with funk and disco stars like James Brown, Chaka Khan and Donna Summer. Early hip-hop figures like Grandmaster Flash and Jazzy Jay inspired a new wave of hip-hop to emerge in the ‘80s. Check out some hip-hop legends that are going on tour in 2023. 

Snoop has been an iconic rapper and songwriter for almost 30 years. When his debut album, Doggystyle , was released in 1993, hits like “Gin and Juice” and “Who Am I? (What’s My Name?)” instantly pushed Snoop into the spotlight. Since then, the rapper has recorded 19 studio albums, 25 mixtapes and 175 singles. His newest album, BODR , was released in 2022, which was the same year that Snoop was selected to perform at the Super Bowl along with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar. Make sure to get your Snoop Dogg tickets and catch his High School Reunion Tour with Wiz Khalifa, Warren G, Too $hort and Berner. With hits like “Snoop’s Upside Ya Head” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” Snoop Doggy Dogg’s tour is one that you will not want to miss. 

LL’s music career took off with his breakout single “I Need a Beat” and debut album, Radio , in 1985. His later albums like Bigger and Deffer (1987), Mama Said Knock You Out (1990) and Mr. Smith (1995) gained further success and prestige. His work has earned him multiple nominations and awards, like two Grammy Awards for Best Rap Solo Performance and three Soul Train Music Awards. More recently, he became the first rapper to receive the Kennedy Center Honors in 2017 and was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame for Musical Excellence in 2021. 

After 30 years, LL Cool J is back with a headliner tour to the delight of his fans. He will be teaming up with DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Roots and DJ Z-Trip, along with a slew of special guests like Queen Latifah, Rick Ross and Ice-T on this star-studded tour.

Catch award-winning rapper 50 Cent on The Final Lap tour, a global expedition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin.’ The 2003 release kickstarted 50 Cent’s success and was ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the “100 Best Albums of the 2000s.” His tour will feature his best hits like “In Da Club,” “Candy Shop,” and “P.I.M.P.” Joining 50 Cent on tour will be special guests Busta Rhymes (“Break Ya Neck,” “Gimme Some More”) and Jeremih (“Birthday Sex,” “Down on Me”).

New Class of Hip-Hop Stars

The hip-hop music of today has evolved from its roots and branched out into genres like freestyle, hip-hop soul, pop rap and snap rap music. From the late ‘90s to the 2000s, the world saw a new wave of artists like Jay-Z, Missy Elliot, Eminem and Nicki Minaj. Their contribution to the music scene has helped hip-hop to evolve further into trap music and mumble rap. The following artists are newcomers to the game that are going on to continue the innovation of hip-hop music.  

“Rack City,” “Best Friend” and “Go Loko” are all hits you’ll hear with tickets to the Str8 To The Club Tour. Beginning this fall, YG , Tyga and Saweetie will embark on a joint headliner West Coast tour. Fans got a sample of  the joint album by YG and Tyga with the June release of “Platinum.” The Compton-based rappers paid tribute to their roots with the single, which has been hailed as a “defiant, California-inspired anthem” ( RAP-UP , 2023). The duo has teamed up several times in the past on songs like “West Coast Weekend” and “Run” with 21 Savage and BIA. 

This tour will be Saweetie’s first headliner, giving the “Icy Grl” rapper an opportunity to promote her music. The 2017 single “Icy Grl” brought Saweetie mainstream attention, with critics from publications like XXL and the LA Times praising her freestyle skills. She dropped the EP, Icy , in 2019 with the single, “My Type” becoming a Billboard Mainstream Top 40 hit. Her debut album, Pretty Bitch Music , is coming soon and was preceded by the 2020 singles “Tap In” and “Back to the Streets.” Get your Saweetie tickets now and see this rapper who made the 2021 Forbes ’ 30 Under 30 list.

Playboi Carti

The Atlanta-born rapper first made his mark on the scene with the debut of his self-titled mixtape in 2017. His single “Magnolia” made the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart and became a multi-platinum hit. Carti’s next album, Whole Lotta Red , dropped in 2020 and immediately hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The time between these two albums saw Playboi Carti as a featured artist on a number of songs by industry stars like A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert , A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Tyler the Creator and others.

Playboi Carti founded his record label, Opium, in 2019, and has taken the initiative to promote new talent within the rap and hip-hop scene.

Victoria Monet

Her compositional work with artists like Lupe Fiasco, Nas and Ariana Grande, as well as solo creative projects, has brought to light Victoria Monet’s success.

The rapper will be promoting his newest album, 222 , while touring North America, New Zealand and Australia.

Latin Stars Bringing a New Sound to Hip-Hop

When hip-hop culture began spreading throughout New York, it naturally influenced the music of neighboring communities, particularly those with Latin and Caribbean roots. This created a path for famous New York rappers like Fat Joe and Angie Martinez, who have Puerto Rican origins. Reggaeton, a music style popularized in Puerto Rico, was influenced by Jamaican music, just like hip-hop. This intersection helped people like Daddy Yankee and Don Omar become acclaimed figures in the global music scene. Check out the following Latin singers and rappers that are bringing a new sound to hip-hop.

Armando Christian Pérez aka Pitbull is an iconic Cuban-American rapper and singer-songwriter whose music career took off in the 2000s. While his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., was released in 2004, it was Pitbull Starring in Rebelution (2009) that made Pérez a breakout artist. The lead singles, “I Know You Want Me(Calle Ocho)” and “Hotel Room Service,” shot to the Top 10 of Billboard ’s Hot 100 and succeeded abroad in several European nations. Pitbull has collaborated with artists like Ying Yang Twins , DJ Khaled, Shakira, Ne-Yo and dozens more. He has won upwards of 48 awards from Billboard and the US and Latin Grammys, in categories like Top Rap Song, Best Urban Performance and Latin Song of the Year. 

Get Pitbull tickets and catch this superstar on The Trilogy Tour alongside global Latin stars Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias. The trio will put on unique sets during each stop, showcasing their versatile styles. Fans can expect a thrilling mix of rap, reggaeton and dance hits like “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” “Bailando” and “Give Me Everything” with tickets to The Trilogy Tour. 

Peso Pluma has become a prominent figure in the “corridos tumbados” movement. The movement revitalized regional Mexican music, fusing it with trap, hip-hop and urbano styles. Tracks like “Ella Naila Sola” and “Luna” made Pluma one of Billboard ’s Latin Artists on the Rise, with three of his singles making it to the Top 10. The Guadalajara-born rapper received nominations for awards like Viral Anthem and Artist to Watch at the 2023 MTV Millennial Awards. He has worked with Latin artists like Becky G and Yng Lvcas, whose single “La Bebé” (Remix), won the pair the Remix of the Year award at the 2023 Premios Tu Música Urbano.

At 16, Jhayco, formerly Jhayco Cortez, began writing songs for artists like Tito El Bambino and Zion & Lennox. His work paid off and Cortez signed with Universal Music Latino in 2017. Jhayco released his debut album, Famouz , in 2019. It featured the single “No Me Conoce,” which shot to the top of Latin music charts and became a multi-certified US hit. Jhayco’s success continued with his sophomore album, Timelezz , which secured the No. 2 spot on Billboard ’s Top Latin Albums chart. His collaboration with Bad Bunny on “Daikiti,” earned both Puerto Rican rappers a Best Urban Song nomination at the 2021 Latin Grammy Awards. Enjoy addictive dance tracks like “Medusa” and “Mami Chula” on the Vida Rockstar tour with Jhayco tickets .

Myke Towers

He has teamed up with some of the best in the Latin music industry like Bad Bunny, Piso 21 and Daddy Yankee.

THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER Will Return on National Tour to More Than 25 Cities

The production reimagines Tchaikovsky's 130-year-old ballet as a contemporary holiday dance spectacle.

LATEST NEWS

A holiday dance mash-up for the whole family during hip hop's 50th year! As artists, industry and fans celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop around the globe today, The Hip Hop Nutcracker ( www.hiphopnutcracker.com ) announced its 2023 tour to more than 25 U.S. cities. The production reimagines Tchaikovsky's 130-year-old ballet as a contemporary holiday dance spectacle with hip hop pioneer Kurtis "The Breaks" Blow, the first rapper to be signed by a major label in 1979, performing as the show's MC. Blow will also perform today with other legends at the HIP HOP 50 LIVE concert at Yankee Stadium.

"Hip Hop has evolved over 50 years into an increasingly diverse, global phenomenon with one of the most significant developments being the fusion of hip hop with other musical genres like classical music," says Blow who paved the way for generations of hip hop artists and fans after scoring the first certified gold record rap song in 1980. Blow is also responsible for "Christmas Rappin," acclaimed for being the first rap holiday song. "I'm so proud to be a part of this iconic dance show and am excited to introduce new generations to the magic of hip hop."

The Hip Hop Nutcracker has been performed more than 250 times in 70 cities and the secret to its success is the powerhouse cast of a dozen all-star dancers, an on-stage DJ and an electric violinist who turn the beloved Nutcracker score on its head. The re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic story smashes hip hop dance and Tchaikovsky's timeless music together for a heart-stirring and inspirational holiday event that takes audiences on a journey celebrating love, community and the magic of the holiday season.

Just like the original, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season. Innovative digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmann's beloved story from traditional 19th century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City. Through the modern, self-expressive gaze of hip hop culture, the dynamic performers of The Hip Hop Nutcracker celebrate the magic of the entire holiday season on the most inclusive holiday of them all - New Year's Eve, a time for new beginnings.

Created in 2013 by Emmy winner Jennifer Weber (also Oliver nominated, and a two-time Tony nominee), who also directs and choreographs the show, and writer Mike Fitelson, the production has evolved into a masterpiece due to the creators' never-ending commitment to enhancing the production, and dancers who continue to raise the bar each year. The Hip Hop Nutcracker is executive produced by three-time Tony winner Eva Price .

Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Lil Kim Prep ‘Legendz of the Streetz Tour’

Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane and Jeezy have announced the dates for their "Legendz of the Streetz" tour.

By Gil Kaufman

Gil Kaufman

No big deal, but Rick Ross let his fans know that they didn’t want to “miss out on the most anticipated hip-hop tour in HISTORY,” in an Instagram post on Wednesday (Sept. 8) announcing the blockbuster rebooted “Legendz of the Streetz” tour.

The 11-date outing that is slated to kick off on Sept. 30 in Augusta, Georgia will feature the Bawse sharing the stage with Jeezy , Gucci Mane , 2 Chainz , Fabolous, Boosie Badazz, Lil Kim, Trina and DJ Drama. The trek will hit Atlanta, Greensboro, Baltimore, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa before wrapping up in Memphis on Oct. 22.

Rick Ross Says He Was 'Just Smilin' About the Latest Kanye West & Drake Beef

The outing was originally slated to take place before the COVID-19 pandemic shut things down under the name “Feed the Streetz,” with a line-up that then included T.I. and Yo Gotti. Hours before the revived dates were revealed, Ross sat in with The Breakfast Club to weigh in on the latest beef between Drake and Kanye West, telling host Charlamagne Tha God that he just got a kick out of their back-and-forth.

“I was just enjoying it. I was smiling,” said Ross on Wednesday morning about the tit-for-tat  disses  and  leaks  that surrounded the recent releases of Kanye’s  Donda  album and Drake’s  Certified Lover Boy . “I never took none of that s— personal. Dudes rich, man. I don’t even think they trippin’ about that s—, man. I’m gonna just be honest, I don’t think they trippin’ about that s—!”

Celebrate 50 Years of Hip-Hop With These 5 Upcoming Concerts

See dj kool herc, run-dmc, the wu-tang clan and more perform live this summer..

Although the 50th anniversary of hip-hop is technically this October – in step with the first time that the “Father of Hip-Hop” DJ Kool Herc mixed records live at a Bronx party – celebrations have been underway since the beginning of the year. From books chronicling the “Golden Era” of New York’s mixtapes from decades past to a Brooklyn library exhibition historicizing Jay-Z’s career, the music industry is brimming with projects paying tribute to both hip-hop’s progenitors and today’s contemporary artists.

Perhaps the best way to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop, however, is to experience those making music history in real time. Over the next few months, a series of star-studded concerts and festivals are set to happen across the country, and while lots of rappers are holding their own solo concerts, a select few events will bring together defining artists and groups such as DJ Kool Herc himself, Run-DMC , the Wu-Tang Clan , Mary J. Blige and more.

Recent tour reviews

The All Stars of Hip-Hop was an overall great concert. Unfortunately the venue is not designed for musical events so the sound quality was poor. The fact that the promoters were able to assemble 19 acts to perform on one stage in one evening is an amazing feat. Seeing The Get Fresh Crew reunited was great as Doug E Fresh proved he is the world’s greatest entertainer. Big Daddy Kane showed that he can still perform at a high level. MC Lyte gave an awesome performance with only a drummer a dj which showed her talent. KRS-ONE clearly demonstrated why he is a TRUE MC. He switched his playlist mid performance to meet the vibe of the audience. He seamlessly blended classics with thought provoking lyrics.

The concert was a perfect 10 will love to see them again everything was just perfect would love to have front row seats so lesson learned I will order early next time and will be using your services again all the performers have to come back real soon and add some more on the list DMX please bring lil Kim Lauren hill rage Roxanne shante who is the original queen of hip hop thank you

I've been to about 20 concerts and this was the best. KRS-One REALLY puts in the effort to make a good show. Way better than lazy Snoop Dogg by a factor of 10. Pay a bit extra to meet him before the show. He's super down to earth, cool guy and rather than 10% of an album price going to him, this actually gets into his pocket, showing your support and appreciate. I'll definitely go again next time he's around.
