Artist Info/ BIO
Gary Grice, better known as GZA , or The Genius, is an American hip hop artist. He is best known as a founding member of the seminal hip-hop group The Wu-Tang Clan. In addition to appearing on all the Wu-Tang Clan albums he has released five solo albums and has appeared on many other Clanmates' solo releases. Born in Brooklyn, GZA spent his childhood living with various groups of relatives in the other New York boroughs. During this time began to visit the Soundview Projects in the Bronx where he became fascinated with hip hop. Influenced by the early MC's of the time he began to write his own rhymes. Disillusioned with the recording industry Grice and Diggs got back together with Jones and decided that they would make the music they wanted, rather than what label executives made them create. Calling themselves the Wu-Tang Clan, based on the movie Shaolin v. Wu-Tang, Grice, Diggs, and Jones brought together the most talented MC's in the New York underground and began making music. It was at this time that Grice took up the moniker of GZA, which derives from the sound made when the word "Genius" is scratched by a DJ on a record. Diggs became known as RZA (Rakeem scratched) and Jones the Ol' Dirty Bastard, after a character in the Kung-Fu movie "Ol' Dirty & The Bastard", and based on the fact "he has no father to his style" according to Method Man. GZA currently has another solo coming out on Aug. 19, 2008 titled ‘Pro Tools’
