Perfectly scoring the film, RZA's patented gritty and dark beats help the film's feel just as much as Whitaker's outstanding performance. Previously only available on vinyl via an extremely limited Japanese pressing (and a few hard-to-find bootlegs), now available officially via Wu-Tang's own 36 Chambers imprint.
