\n\u201cThere is a long tradition and storied relationship between hip-hop and martial arts,\u201d Gaines said. \u201cHaving RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan brand on board to executive produce will validate the series even more and mobilize the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
