What a wonderfully odd evening. We talked to Wu Tang Clan’s The RZA and two Shaolin grandmasters about Chan Buddhism, healing and Stevie Wonder.
Damn, that was fun. The RZA was really chill and therefor our interview with him turned out just as relaxed. I even got to give him a special present from from my vinyl collection. Check it out.

The RZA visited Vienna, Austria, in the summer of 2023 during a Wu-Tang Clan tour. There he met up with his Shifu master and other renowned martial artists at a small Shaolin temple. Video production Frames.Network took the opportunity to speak with the hip hop legend and asked me to host the video doc about Bobby Digital.
