One minute they\u2019re breaking down the formula behind 36 Chambers and the discipline it took to build a brotherhood, the next they\u2019re diving into storytelling, filmmaking, and what it really means to create with intention.<\/p>\n<p>But underneath the legacy, there\u2019s something deeper.<\/p>\n<p>RZA opens up about second chances, sobriety, and the mindset shift that changed the course of his life. He gets real about the balance between ego and growth, the responsibility artists carry, and why purpose *not fame* drives everything he creates today. From hip hop\u2019s past to its future, he makes it clear he\u2019s still building, still learning, and still pushing the culture forward.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughtful, grounded, and powerful&#8230;this is RZA fully evolved, fully intentional, and still shaping the world around him.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"226726\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/the-jason-lee-show-w-rza\/rza-6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RZA.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" 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=\"RZA\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RZA.jpg?fit=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RZA.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-226726\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RZA is a mastermind, a visionary, and still moving with the same purpose that changed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"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":"","_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":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-226725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interviews"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-WYR","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226725","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=226725"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226727,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226725\/revisions\/226727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
