While you’re waiting (not long now) for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, The RZA’s brought out his second book; The Tao of Wu.

The book is built around major moments in the RZA’s life when he was faced with a dramatic turning point, either bad (a potential prison sentence) or good (a record deal that could pull his family out of poverty), and the lessons he took from each experience. His points of view are always surprising and provocative, and reveal a profound, genuine, and abiding wisdom – consistently tempered with humor and peppered with unique, colloquial phraseology. It is a spiritual memoir as the world has never seen before, and will never see again. (amazon)

The book’s out in November (UK), and October (US), but if you can’t wait that long, check out his first book: The Wu-Tang Manual which is definitely worth a read.
