The Genius Unplugged: GZA’s “Liquid Swords” 30th Anniversary Residency
HOLLYWOOD, CA – The “intellectual architect” of the Wu-Tang Clan is set to bring a masterclass in lyrical precision to Blue Note Los Angeles. GZA, also known as The Genius, will headline a highly anticipated residency on Wednesday, February 4, and Thursday, February 5, 2026, celebrating three decades of his seminal masterpiece, Liquid Swords.
In a departure from traditional hip-hop sets, this “Liquid Swords & More” experience features GZA backed by the Phunky Nomads, a powerhouse live band led by his cousin and drummer Ramsey Jones (older brother of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard). The ensemble transforms RZA’s haunting, minimalist production into dynamic compositions, infusing tracks like “Duel of the Iron Mic” and “4th Chamber” with elements of jazz, funk, and rock.
30 Years of a Cinematic Masterpiece
Originally released in 1995, Liquid Swords remains a cornerstone of the Wu-Tang solo catalog, revered for its vivid storytelling and philosophical depth. By performing with a full band—including Entrfied McCloud on keys and Djibril Toure on bass—GZA emphasizes the musicality of his flow, proving why he is considered one of the greatest “pure rappers” in the history of the genre.
The intimate setting of the Blue Note offers a unique contrast to GZA’s “chill but sharp” stage presence. Fans can expect an evening that bridges the gap between the golden era of hip-hop and the improvisational spirit of a live soul ensemble, with fresh arrangements that give these thirty-year-old classics a renewed urgency.

2026-02-05 19:00 - 21:00 (Asia/Kolkata) | Blue Note Jazz Club
Step into the world of “The Genius” for an evening where cinematic storytelling meets the soulful resonance of live instrumentation. We are thrilled to welcome GZA, a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, to the Blue Note’s stage for a special performance featuring a full live band.
Widely regarded as one of hip-hop’s most cerebral lyricists, GZA brings the gritty, chess-themed atmosphere of his masterpiece Liquid Swords to life. Backed by the Phunky Nomads and the soaring violin of PhearNone, the classic RZA-produced beats are reimagined with rich, jazz-infused arrangements. The energy is further elevated by the inclusion of Rapsody and Friends, adding a layer of soulful depth and intricate wordplay to the lineup.
The vibe is undeniably “Wu-Tang noir”—sophisticated, cool, and essential for any true fan. Join us for a night of raw mastery and legendary presence. A 9:30 PM function is available for those who want to experience the brilliance late into the night.
