RZA brings back Bobby Digital to enjoy some Snax in July

It’s hard enough for most people to name all the members of Wu-Tang Clan, but things get even trickier when alternate monikers come into play. Wu-Tang founding member and chief producer RZA returns under his alter-ego Bobby Digital with more of his funky, futuristic, sci-fi intellect for a third album, Digi Snax, coming July 1 on Koch. The first single, up on RZA’s MySpace now, is “You Can’t Stop Me Now,” featuring Wu-Tang’s Inspectah Deck.

“This album is simply fun hip-hop. It’s a perfect blend of reality, fiction, sci-fi and martial arts,” RZA told Billboard.

RZA has widespread touring plans in promotion of Digi Snax while still staying busy with other projects. He’s appearing in the upcoming film Repossesion Mambo, alongside Jude Law, Live Shrieber and Forest Whitaker, and is working on another score and soundtrack for a new season of Afro Samurai.
