The Stranger's resident music critic Dave Segal writes: "It would be interesting to do IQ tests on Wu-Tang Clan fans whose favorite MC is GZA (aka The Genius). As his name suggests, GZA verbalized at a higher level than anyone else in the crew (which is saying a lot), and outside of that group, he cut the classic Liquid Swords in 1995, his ultimate merging of haunting, funky production, lyrical incisiveness, and voluminous vocabulary." Originally scheduled for 2020, GZA will finally perform the beloved album front-to-back in celebration of its now 29th anniversary. by Audrey Vann
