GZA is preparing for the release of his album this year Dark Matter which is inspired by quantum physics. In an interview with Rolling Stone Wu Tang Clan member says the inspiration behind his album was a visit to MIT and the album is a “beautiful story” about “planets, black holes, comets.”
“I had several different ideas and concepts in my head. It’s just a journey of the universe. Dark matter, dark energy,” he said. “The thing at MIT didn’t really have anything to do with it. This was just something that added to it. I mean, I never went to a university and linked up with, you know, quantum and astrophysicists and things of that nature. But it’s not like this is what sparked the idea for me to want to do this album.”
He also spoke on other upcoming projects such as writing pilots and scripts. GZA also said if there wasn’t any more Wu Tang records, he was happy with what they had already accomplished.
“We haven’t been on the same page in years,” he said, noting that he has no hard feelings about that. “Nah. It is what it is. Sometimes that match burns out. So, no, I don’t feel bad about it. It’s good. I’m grateful for everything we have done throughout our careers and if there’s nothing else to put out, then there’s nothing to put out. I’m constantly writing and working. It doesn’t stop there.”
