RZA is assuming the role of his alter-ego Bobby Digital for the third time in Digi Snax, the rapper/producer's upcoming album.
The album is due July 1 via Koch; the first single, "You Can't Stop Me Now," features fellow Wu-Tang member Inspectah Deck.
"This album is simply fun Hip Hop," told RZA to Billboard.com. "It's a perfect blend of reality, fiction, sci-fi and martial arts."
Other tracks to be included on the album include social commentary on "Drama," the intimate "Good Night Kiss" and "Straight Up the Block," produced by none other than David Banner (and may be the second single). Other producers for the album include King Tech and California producer Pana.
RZA will tour in support of Digi Snax starting April 25 in Europe, and June 10 in North America. In the performances, he will be backed by soul band Stone Mecca, and occasionally Wu-Tang members and affiliates.
