DJ Muggs and GZA/GENIUS bring their sonic force to Australia in May to promote their critically acclaimed ‘Grandmasters’ release. Joining them will be underground legends Self Scientific, DJ Solo (Soul Assassins) and local turntablist DJ Def Rok (SYD). This is a line up to make any self respecting hip hop fiend’s mouth water. AREA 38 have put together a group of artists who are guaranteed to bring a neck-snapping onslaught to the audiences of Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

No one who has a passion for hip hop is unaffected by these two colossal talents: they have been providing the soundtrack to the lives of many people for years. Muggs’ eerie and heavy bass driven beats for Cypress Hill are legendary, while the GZA is widely regarded as the most lyrically gifted of the Wu Tang Clan – a collective responsible for the hip hop education of millions.

This will be a live collaboration performance that combines the sounds of two of the biggest groups in hip hop history, a show that includes both new and old school. In addition to playing their Grandmasters material, Muggs will be slashing up a
Cypress Hill set on the decks, and GZA will also be performing Wu Tang hits and spitting lyrics from his solo LP’s.

Together they have released an album that draws its inspiration and driving force from the game of chess. Those who become experts in the game of chess are known as Grandmasters, and it is from this term that Muggs and GZA take the title of their album, and their upcoming tour.

The ‘Grandmasters’ album is a “dark masterpiece” according to The Source, full of “exceptional detail and precision” with GZA is at his lyrical best, and Muggs creating an “epic aural landscape” that takes you by the throat and won’t let go.

Joining the Grandmasters on the bill is underground duo, Self Scientific. Chace Infinite and DJ Khalil have received high praise from many well respected sources: JIVE Magazine gave their album, ‘Change’ 5 out of 5.
