GZA - Liquid Swords (2xLP)

Liquid Swords (1995) is the critically acclaimed second solo album by GZA, a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan. This album features dense, thought-provoking lyrics that blend martial arts imagery with complex, philosophical themes, all delivered in GZA's trademark sharp, methodical flow. With haunting minimalistic production by RZA, Liquid Swords offers a cinematic, gritty atmosphere, exemplified by tracks like "Shadowboxing" and the iconic title track, making it a cornerstone of 90s underground hip-hop.
