New Music: RZA feat. James Black, Justin Nozuka, Kobra Khan – Gone

RZA releases “Gone,” a memorial.
“Wu-Tang production mastermind, aspiring filmmaker and L.A. resident RZA has released a new free song called “Gone,” which he’s dedicated to Sally Menke, the longtime editor of Quentin Tarantino’s films who passed away last week.

Via his Facebook profile, RZA first announced he’s “starting a new tradition on #WuWednesday,” when he’ll “share a thought and a song.”

This week’s track features Finger Eleven guitarist James Black, singer Justin Nozuka and rapper Kobra Khan, along with RZA himself. And in a followup post, he included a special message:

I dedicate the song “Gone” to my friend Sally Menke and its my gift to her memory. I feel music is the best gift I can give and I’m giving it away to Wu-Disciples for free in her name. Who ever like the song can send a blessing of positive energy to Sally’s family and her legacy. Peace.

While the song doesn’t appear to be explicitly about Menke — Tarantino has been something of a mentor to RZA, and Menke was one of the director’s closest collaborators — it features touching verses “about our dear people who have left this life to join the infinite.””

RZA appears to be talking about Ol’ Dirty Bastard if I’m hearing his rhymes right?

New Music: Ten Million Lights – Kill Yr Idols

Got this message from Ryan of Ten Million Lights:

“We are a new band out of Portland, OR that include myself (vox) and Eric (gits) from Saturna plus new friend Emily on guitar and vocals too. If you’re familiar with Saturna we definitely still have a similar sound, but have moved towards a more electronic feel somewhere in the vein of School Of Seven Bells or M83. We are still a rock band though and channel Love and Rockets, Jesus and Mary Chain or newer bands like Crocodiles and The Kills.”

Don’t know most of those bands he referenced but I was a big Jesus & Mary Chain fan back in the day so this got a check-out and (head) nod of approval for posting so peep it:







This is from their self-titled debut album that dropped last week. Dig what you hear? Then click the links below and support by copping the album!
