GZA TO LECTURE AT OXFORD THIS WEEKEND EUROPEAN TOUR HAPPENING NOW


NEW ALBUM DUE THIS YEAR FOR BABYGRANDE RECORDS


 

GZA will be hosted by Oxford University on January 28th for his second ever lecture after Harvard. GZA will discuss his beginnings as an MC, his Clan, his inspiration, his process, LIQUID SWORDS, and the state of hip hop. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A. He is in discussions to speak at MIT, NYU, and Cornell this spring.

Just this week GZA set out on a four week run of European dates that will see him perform in Spain, UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Scotland, Holland, Austria, and Slovakia. The full details of the tour are available below.

GZA is currently at work on his followup to 2008's Pro Tools, due this year from Babygrande Records.
