Wu-Tang Clan’s de-facto leader RZA is set to appear at a charity chess tournament this weekend, defending his previously-won title.
The Hip-Hop Chess Federation will host a celebrity event at the Anaheim Business Expo in Anaheim, California on Sunday (16 February).
“I am looking forward to the upcoming chess battle at the HHCF Chess Kings Invitational in Los Angeles,” RZA said in the build-up. “To those knowing I have to defend my belt, get ready to protect ya neck”.
Meanwhile, Wu-Tang are still prepping their long-awaited new album.
