The single was exclusively premiered on SiriusXM\u2019s #WuWednesdays hosted by Mathematics. \u201cOpen Ya Eyes\u201d is now available at all <a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.site\/1\/openyaeyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DSP\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With Big Daddy Kane\u2019s razor-sharp lyricism, \u201cOpen Ya Eyes\u201d weaves together RZA\u2019s signature orchestral production, with Mathematics\u2019 refined sonic touch, creating a track that speaks to awareness, clarity and the elevation of spirit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is a bridge between generational schools of knowledge. Kane\u2019s wisdom in life and rhyme meets the Wu philosophy of consciousness,\u201d RZA reveals. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re giving the culture something that uplifts; a call to wake up and see with inner sight.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Big Daddy Kane added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen RZA sent me the track, it hit different, it felt like a reflection, like the sound itself was asking me to speak truth. That\u2019s what Hip-Hop was built for.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The reunion project, curated and produced by RZA, marks the first official Juice Crew release in decades \u2014 bridging two of the most influential crews in hip-hop history together in a generational meeting of mastery, message and movement.. Bobby Digital Presents: Juice Crew All Stars collaboration both celebrates and preserves the roots of the trend-setting crews, while introducing their raw, uncompromising artistry to a new generation.<\/p>\n<p>Formed in the mid-1980s under the guidance of Marley Marl, the Juice Crew helped define the early golden era of rap, with members like Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, MC Shan, Roxanne Shant\u00e9, Masta Ace, Craig G, and Biz Markie (RIP) and Grand Daddy I.U. (RIP). The crew\u2019s influence continues to echo through generations \u2014 and now, with RZA at the helm, that legacy evolves into a brand new chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Digital Presents: Juice Crew All Stars re-imagines the Juice Crew sound through RZA\u2019s cinematic lens, blending his signature production with the crew\u2019s storytelling mastery. The result is a project that stands as both a tribute and a testament \u2014 a reminder that true hip-hop never fades, it evolves.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Digital Presents: Juice Crew All Stars will be released on 11.14.25 via 36 Chambers\/DNA Music Group\/Hitmaker Distro.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"217945\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/big-daddy-kane-rza-open-ya-eyes\/kane-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?fit=1920%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,800\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kane\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?fit=640%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?resize=540%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-217945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?resize=540%2C225&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?resize=1024%2C427&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?resize=768%2C320&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?resize=1536%2C640&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kane.webp?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hip-Hop history comes full circle as RZA, the iconic, visionary artist and founding architect of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":217996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-217944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RZA-Big-Daddy-Kame-Open-Ya-Eyes-Digital-Artwork.webp?fit=640%2C640&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-UHe","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
