Fourteen years later, The RZArector resurrects Bobby Digital for his two projects of 2022, the collaborative effort with DJ Scratch and this tape, an eight-track soundtrack for his future graphic novel. The music is produced by RZA and Stone Mecca, main guest.
These tracks seem like a coherent disappointing follow-up to "Digi Snacks" and "Afro Samurai". RZA aka Bobby Digital transforms himself into a kung-fu b-movie storyteller in the first track, over a simple and prudent indie rock beat, accompanied by a sung pop hook. The second track features another indie rock rhythm. The guy enters the song and remembers he has to rap or at least do something similar, and then he starts talking louder than usual, before giving way to another pop chorus. The rest of the tape advances with this formula, Bobby Digital speaks over indie rock productions by building pop songs entirely centered around hard-to-tackle lame hooks.
It's welcome that RZA tries to vary its sound and that he experiments, unfortunately this half hour record doesn't work, further weakening his catalog. This effort goes away without leaving anything and is so insignificant that you don't even notice how it can also be the worst album released by RZA and one of the worst of the Staten Island supergroup.
