RZA is a revolutionary producer and genius who has been inspiring musicians and other artists around the world for decades, and he also has an enviable acting career under his belt. 

According to news reports around the world, the press also wrote that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky “may have chosen one of the most memorable baby names.” 

“Rihanna’s baby boy is not going to be messed with… because she and A$AP Rocky have named their first child after a famous member of the Wu-Tang Clan!!!” one of the news reports stated. Recently, Rihanna’s photos with the baby were also published, in which the famous singer can be seen wearing a Wu-Tang Clan t-shirt!

Rihanna is one of the biggest and most inspiring performers on the planet, primarily thanks to her attitude and numerous hits, which she has had since the very beginning of her career. She performed at this year’s “Super Bowl,” which surpassed the 2015 edition in terms of viewership and became the most watched ever. The kind of musician she is can be seen by the fact that she performed this show during her pregnancy, following the announcement that she was expecting another child.

There aren’t many music stars in the world who can compare to Rihanna, and she and A$AP Rocky have publicly shown their admiration for RZA and the group he fronts. The rapper A$AP Rocky even recorded a song with Drake called “Wu-Tang Forever.”

Wu-Tang Clan is widely regarded as the most influential hip-hop group ever. Since their first album, they positioned themselves on the scene as the standard for hip-hop and a blueprint for musical careers, from their first shows in Texas when they were paid with a counterfeit $100 bill to selling out the biggest stadiums around the world. They have released eight albums and sold over 40 million copies, creating an opus that has redefined hip-hop as a genre.

With their reviews, prestigious media outlets worldwide have etched Wu-Tang Clan’s name in history. NME once described them as “the craziest, most influential, most avant-garde, and overall best rap group,“ adding that they “changed hip-hop forever.“ Rolling Stone called them “the best rap group ever,“ and Billboard defined their significance with the simple phrase “Wu-Tang is forever.

Unique and legendary as they are, they will appear at the EXIT festival on Sunday, July 9, on the Gorki List Main Stage. With an international audience, they will celebrate 50 years of hip-hop, a culture they helped create and will forever play a role in.
