RZA and DJ Scratch continue to promote their upcoming Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theatre project with singles. Following the record’s title track, the duo has unleashed “Fate of the World,” along with an accompanying music video.
“Who can turn back the hands of time / True life is an eternal bliss / The souls crescendo internally / Then revealed through an external gliss,” RZA spits about halfway through the three-minute and 25-second-long song.
As NME reports, the rapper and producer’s upcoming joint effort has been described as “a love letter to the kung fu movies that aired each Saturday on local TV channels when there were only five channels to choose from,” and will find the New Yorker “sparring with Bobby Digital, his more aggressive alter-ego.”
Stream “Fate of the World” below, and look out for Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theatre project, arriving via Chambers ALC/MNRK Music Group on March 4th.
Quotable Lyrics:
A thousand years of darkness
The world got struck with sorrow
Hollow be thy name
We need a better tomorrow
Rejuvenate the blood through tendons and the bone marrow
Light always shine we just trapped inside the earth shadow
