Wu-Tang Clan's RZA working on album with Interpol's Paul Banks
Having released the woefully-named, critically-slated hip-hop mixtape Everybody on My Dick Like They Supposed to Be earlier this year, Interpol frontman Paul Banks is continuing his venture into the rap game by working with Wu-Tang Clan member and de-facto leader RZA.
In interview with Rolling Stone recently, the hip-hop producer told the publication: ”Me and Paul, we play chess together and just hang out… My manager came to me and said, ‘Who do you want to do an album with?’ I said, ‘Well, Paul just has an energy about him. I think if we put our sandwich together it will be great.”
The record is said to have been recorded over the past six months, with its sound described “very, very different than what I do, but very unique and very peculiar.”
The LP will be released by Warner Bros, RZA’s current imprint.
