RZA- The Tao of Wu
A unique book of wisdom and experience that reaches from the most violent slums of New York City to the highest planes of spiritual thought by the RZA, hip-hop’s most exalted wise man.
The RZA, the Abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop culture’s most dynamic genius, imparts the lessons he’s learned on the journey that’s taken him from the Staten Island projects to international superstar, all along the way a devout student of knowledge in every form he’s found it—on the streets, in religion, in martial arts, in chess, in popular culture. Part chronicle of an extraordinary life and part spiritual and philosophical discourse, The Tao of Wu is a nonfiction Siddhartha for the hip-hop generation —an engaging, seeking book that will enlighten, entertain, and inspire.
The legions of Wu-Tang fans are accustomed to this heady mix—their obsession with the band’s puzzlelike lyrics and elaborate mythology has propelled the group through fifteen years of dazzling, multiplatform success. In his 2005 bestseller The Wu-Tang Manual, the RZA provided the barest glimpse of how that mythology worked. In The Tao of Wu, he takes us deep inside the complex sense of wisdom and spirituality that has been at the core of his commercial and creative success.
The book is built around major moments in the RZA’s life when he was faced with a dramatic turning point, either bad (a potential prison sentence) or good (a record deal that could pull his family out of poverty), and the lessons he took from each experience. His points of view are always surprising and provocative, and reveal a profound, genuine, and abiding wisdom—consistently tempered with humor and peppered with unique, colloquial phraseology. It is a spiritual memoir as the world has never seen before, and will never see again.ever seen before, and will never see again.

DJ Equal - “Kick Push Play” Mix Download
If you frequent NY hot spots like Southside, Tenjune, Mr. West or Kingswood, you might know about DJ Equal, who is regularly manning the decks at these and other fine clubs. But DJ Equal is not all about the bottle service life, he also has a passion for underground hip-hop and foundation funk and soul that is a foundation for the music, as well as much more, including the “skate life”. Thus, his new mix entitled Kick Push Play that is described by Equal in this blurb:
“The idea was to compile songs that I learned from watching skateboarding videos with my older brother when I was growing up. In the pre-internet days of Asheville, NC , there were only so many ways to hear new music. Today, these songs are obvious classics, but at the time they were gems I never would have heard otherwise. I took this opportunity to make a mix in which songs play almost the whole way through.
For anyone who watched a lot of 90s skate videos you will remember hearing these songs over and over. Special thanks to Tajai for hosting this mix! I never thought I’d have my own intro to 93 Til Infinity. Enjoy!”

“For June 5th - World Environmental Day, etnies have teamed with Parisian boutique Colette (aka. Your favourite retailer’s favourite retailer) to release five very special Senix Low remixes, bringing it all together in eyecatching style. Forget some of the more half-hearted attempts to ride the hydro-electricity wave of ecological goodwill. These are the first shoes from etnies that can boast carbon neutral status, and from the deliberately gaudy to more minimal block colours, each makeup carries its own conscious theme.”
