In 2014, in the midst of the promotional run-up for the Wu-Tang Clan’s sixth (and, to date, final, as I think we can all agree that Once Upon A Time In Shaolin doesn’t count and The Saga Continues was more a Mathematics project) album, A Better Tomorrow, producer The RZA set aside a little bit of time to release a free EP to the Interweb. Called Only One Place To Get It, the Dr. Pepper-commissioned effort, intended to be the first in a series handled by multiple producers but never advancing beyond this lone volume from what I can tell, featured the erstwhile Prince Rakeem working the boards for artists outside of his immediate comfort zone (read: non-Wu). This makes for an interesting exercise: hearing what The RZA is capable of doing outside of his musical genre of choice with artists who typically wouldn’t find themselves in his orbit, an experience brought to you by Dr. Pepper, whose claims of mastery in the fields of medicine and hip hop are dubious at best.
