GZA
“I'm on a mission that niggas say is impossible / But when I swing my swords they all choppable.”
The spiritual and intellectual anchor of the Wu-Tang Clan. GZA strips away wasted adjectives, constructing entire songs out of unified metaphor systems—whether music industry record labels ('Labels'), crime syndicates ('4th Chamber'), or astrophysics.
