The RZA, the Abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan and one of hip-hop culture's most dynamic figures, imparts the lessons he learned on the journey that took him from the Staten Island projects to international superstardom, all the while a devout student of knowledge in every form he's found it - on the streets, in religion, in martial arts, in chess or in popular culture.

Part chronicle of an extraordinary life and part spiritual and philosophical discourse, The Tao of Wu is a Siddhartha for the hip-hop generation.
