Wu-Tang’s GZA takes ‘quantum leap’ with physics-based LP
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 12 March 2012
Wu-Tang rapper GZA has discussed details of his seventh solo LP, which is to be titled ‘Dark Matter’. Apparently the record is part inspired by the New York MC’s recent academic interest in quantum physics, he having spent time with sci-boffins at the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology.
Says GZA: “I recently met with quantum physicists who deepened my interest in the cosmos and gave me further inspiration for this next album. I want to take my listeners on a journey through deep space and deconstruct the idea of science fiction”.
And delving deeper: “I will take a quantum leap and discuss the universe while taking us on a journey through deep space. Travelling at lightspeed from the galactic centre of one galaxy to the farthest corners of another. I hope my listeners will enjoy this cosmic adventure within a world of colossal planets, gas giants, meteorites, comets, and asteroids in the most extreme conditions”. And those solar flares, one mustn’t omit solar flares.
‘Dark Matter’ is slated for release later this year, by which point we may all have been melted by solar flares anyway. And wouldn’t that be ironic?
