Video: GZA & The Soul Rebels – NPR Tiny Desk Concert

For the last NPR Tiny Desk Concert GZA brings along The Soul Rebels, an eight-piece New Orleans brass ensemble. Once they step behind the desk they get right down to business, opening with the sparkling Living In The World Today, from GZA‘s 1995 solo album Liquid Swords.

GZA continues his onslaught of poetic precision with another beauty from Liquid Swords, Duel of the Iron Mic. At one point he even channels his cousin, the late great Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who provided the hook on the original version of the track.

By the third and final song driven by unbridled passion and his command of the room, GZA is soaked in sweat as they brake into the title track of Liquid Swords.
