Join music enthusiast Rico Gordon for a listening session featuring one of the Wu-Tang Clan’s founding members, GZA aka The Genius. Take a trip back to Shaolin (Staten Island, circa 1995) and dissect the lyrical mayhem on his second solo record and his 1st under the Wu-Tang umbrella, Liquid Swords. Since its release in 1995, Liquid Swords' reputation has grown, and it is now widely considered one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.

Rico will provide a brief introduction to the context of the album, and Wu-Tang's role in the evolution of hip-hop. Then, we'll listen to the entire album, with pauses for discussion and analysis. Through this gathering, Rico aims to share his love of hip-hop and one of the iconic records of our time!
