From Shaolin to Symphonies: RZA Announces New Orchestral LP ‘A Ballet Through Mud’


RZA will journey from Staten Island to symphony halls with the Wu-Tang Clan mastermind’s upcoming orchestral album A Ballet Through Mud.

The producer rediscovered the project during the pandemic when he revisited lyrical songbooks he penned as a teenager in “Shaolin.” RZA then transformed those early works into a ballet that tells a coming-of-age story about love and growth. “I hope people use it to score their own lives, to transform a drive to the grocery store or sharing a meal with loved ones into something magical, to be inspired and let their imaginations take them into a different chamber, if only for a moment.” Aeolian BeautyClear Sky After StormBallet Through MudDivine InterventionFreedom of MovementSoft FootstepsGoodnightThe Night Dances When You Least Expect ItMoving MeditationThe Lotus Arrives
