GZA, born Gary Earl Grice, aka the Genius, is a high-acclaimed rapper and lyricist. More importantly, he is the founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan.

GZA Tour 2024 Review

Tour Name: Liquid Swords Tour

Tour Dates: January 18-March 3

GZA’s last tour, which featured his classic 1995 album, moved like a storm across the United States, with top stops in California, Washington, Massachusetts, and Maryland. It also included dates in Canada, with performances in Victoria and Vancouver. A major success backed by Phunky Nomads, it grossed over $2 million from 20 shows.

Fans had mixed but generally positive reactions. Rock The Bells pointed to the unique "chess boxing" VIP experiences, where fans enjoyed curated music and live chess games with celebrities. Jecinta Howard praised the tour’s energy and the nostalgia it evoked, especially with hits like "Shadowboxin'" and "4th Chamber" being performed live.

Lorna Bristow from The Courier Online mentioned sound issues at the Boiler Shop stop in Newcastle but noted that GZA’s lyricism and stage presence were still compelling. Asad ULTRA Walker from The Counterbalance appreciated the inclusion of live instruments, especially the electric violin, which added a fresh twist to classics like "Duel of the Iron Mic."

Not all reviews were glowing. Some fans, as reported again by Lorna Bristow from The Courier Online, were frustrated with the late start and sound quality issues at certain venues, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these setbacks, the tour was largely seen as a celebration of hip-hop history, with GZA’s performance reaffirming his status as a rap icon.
