RZA: Ghost Dog - Way Of The Samurai Soundtrack Vinyl LP

First time soundtrack outing for RZA, first time on vinyl outside of Japan! The cultish crime action film featuring a modern Samurai played by Forest Whitaker got the ol kung fu heads in a frenzy and the ol neighborhood (insert New York crime / drug kingpin film here) fans out the woodwork. A film like this could only be soundtracked by the legendary Shaolin master himself, RZA of the Wu Tang Clan. Perfectly scoring the film, RZA's patented gritty and dark beats help the film's feel just as much as Whitaker's outstanding performance. Previously only available on vinyl via an extremely limited Japanese pressing (and a few hard-to-find bootlegs), now available officially via Wu-Tang's own 36 Chambers imprint.
