Anybody know of any artists that are similar to RZA. Don't say Wu Tang Clan. I just wanna hear a similar style to this:



this:



Also, is his name The RZA or just RZA?

Mos Def

Not bad actually, gonna get some:3

Army of the Pharaos/Jedi mind tricks.

DMX has songs that sound like this, not many though.

Immortal Technique has some dark hiphop.

And Steen, but that's Dutch, so you wont understand jack xD

Awsome, thanks for the suggestions man

I have:
Prince of Darkness - AOTP = Pretty good

Aside from DMX, idk the others so i will check them out

Some of J-dilla, The roots, Cypress hill and Mobb Deep. (You'd probably like The cool kids and gennessee too).

The Roots and Mobb Deep are a completely different style..

It's good, I wont argue with you, but it's a total different style.

i'd say this for the first track





this for the second, or any wutang





or check bobby digital if u like the rza





it all depends on what ur lookin for, if u like the raps? I'd say 94 - 99 rap.
Unless your into the more commercial shit, like the beat.... then your pretty much at a dead end, or check lil john or something

RZA comes from "Rzarector", he has plenty "AKA's" though, such as "the abbot" or "Bobby Digital". Doesn't matter though. You can call him simply RZA.

And yes I know some artists similar to him. You mean the audio production style, the instrumentals/beats, right? Or you're talking about the rapping style? (because he's a producer and a rapper).

Anyway.. if you're talking about the production style you can check out DJ Shadow, since he has some "dark hip hop" productions...

Let me show you:







Or maybe Markus Kienz feat Oddateee:



Virtuoso ft. Slaine - Fahrenheit 9/11:



or Genelec & Memphis Reigns and Master Kong:





Or Jay Electronica:



K Sarrah over Tricky's "Overcome":



Also check DJ Krush deep atmospheric jazzy beats with Toshinori Kondo:


If you want something REALLY alternative and dark check out Dфlek:



As for lyrical themes... check:





Anyway I suggest you to dig at my topic about rap. You can find all types of good rap there, I think we managed to keep the quality to high standards there: http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=78267
