Burna Boy Breaks Down Collaborating with Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA
Burna Boy is back with a new studio LP called I Told Them…. The album turned up on Friday (August 25) with several high-profile guest appearances, including 21 Savage, Dave, Seyi Vibez and J. Cole as well as GZA and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. Burna spoke to Apple Music 1 host Zane Lowe earlier this week about his latest album.
---------------------------------------
The Zane Lowe conversation included Burna Boy reflecting on collaborating with RZA for the “Jewels” track off the I Told Them… album. Burna stated, “It’s been a great honor, man. He wasn’t there. We weren’t personally in the studio together when he did it, but when he sent the first draft to me, I could just feel the energy.”
The self-described “African Giant” went on to say, “He’s connecting things that have to do with photography, s### that has to do with the vision, like photographic s###. And he’s made the whole thing, he combined and interlock and it’s just crazy.”

'I Interviewed GZA and All He Wanted To Talk About Was Chess'
When it came to my attention that GZA, on the Melbourne arm of the Wu-Tang Clan’s Australian tour with Nas, would be playing a speed chess tournament in Fitzroy to celebrate the launch of local whiskey brand The Gospel’s new event series, The Fanatics, I said, what?
GZA. The Genius. Credited as the spiritual leader and amalgamator of the Wu-Tang Clan. Lyrical God. Chess lover. It made some kind of sense.
The event was held at a community hall, or maybe a church – vaulted ceilings, lush carpets, and a big cream wall where the chess matches were projected for everyone to get a birds’ eye view of the game. A crowd gathered in front of the stage where GZA was seated, head down, playing his opponents in focused silence. Wu-Tang blared out from a single speaker, and every once in a while the crowd would erupt in cheers.

GZA Hosting Speed Chess Event in Melbourne
Longtime fans of the Wu-Tang Clan know that GZA plays a mean game of chess. The MC has been a devoted chess player for many years now, and, alongside bandmate RZA, once played against a grandmaster for charity.
And now might be your time to take a run at him: in a couple of weeks’ time on Monday, 15th May, GZA will co-host a speed chess competition in Fitzroy North, Melbourne. If you’re not too keen on chess but still want to get in on the action, there’ll also be a meet and greet, and DJ sets throughout the evening.

Students from 2 Baltimore Schools Get to Play in Chess Tournament Against GZA
Baltimore City students took a field trip Friday to City Hall for a chess tournament with a special guest. Six students from Green Street Academy and six students from Cross Country Elementary/Middle School faced off against each other and a hip-hop superstar.
"I keep studying it because it's something that I enjoy," said Nicardo Grant, a Cross Country seventh grader. "They practice in school, after school, even online," said Daniel Katz, a special educator at Cross Country. But it's not every day that they get to practice with a member of the famous Wu-Tang Clan. GZA, from the Wu-Tang Clan, asked Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott to pick a group of students to play games of chess against him while he's in town.
"Chess is an important thing for children," GZA said. "It teaches critical thinking, strategic planning. It's a great game. No other board game compares to it. It strengthens them in many ways."
