    RZA is one of those rappers I genuinely would love to be friends with because he is likable, humble, has something to say and can lead really interesting conversations. Thats something you dont see much in the hiphop industry

    I met rza in 97 cutting summer school walking around in the city. He so dope and humble he gave me and my cousin each a copy of Wu Tang killah bees The Swarm which is a lowkey classic btw. I learned every song on that album I thought it was so good over the years I lost the tape but the memory of meeting him and that album I'll never forget.
