mono.kultur #13: GZA/Wu-Tang Clan

mono.kultur, a bi-monthly magazine from Berlin that features intensely long/interesting interviews, just released their thirteenth issue. Entirely dedicated to a 32-page chat with GZA (who some of you may recognize as the founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan), issue #13 offers readers a no-holds-barred conversation with Wu-Tang’s wordsmith, chatting about topics as diverse as their upcoming album, The 8 Diagrams, the early days of hip-hop/the Clan, and the “meaning of a pyroclastic flow.” I like the idea of a magazine that assigns itself to just one topic, particularly topics involving music, film, art, and literature… but I don’t like that mono.kultur is yet to be distributed anywhere in the U.S. However, hope can be found here (in the form of a single issue shipped to your door), or here (for a year-long/6 issue subscription).
