GZA’s Liquid Swords was released in 1995 and has become a widely revered album celebrated for its sharp lyricism and vivid imagery. The record heavily samples dialogue from the 1980 cult martial arts classic Shogun Assassin and uses dark, atmospheric beats throughout. The record charted at #9 on the Billboard 200 chart, #2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and was certified platinum nearly 20 years after its release.

Last week, Lettuce also announced that they will be releasing an album and concert film of the band’s debut collaboration with the Colorado Symphony from November 2018 at Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver, Colorado.The album will present two songs that are never-before-recorded and released: “New Intro” that is chock full of buoyant arpeggios and measured tremolos and the brass-heavy “Requiem” with layers of pizzicato strings and sliding trombone work that epitomize the orchestral setting and set the stage for exemplary debut releases into the Lettuce catalog. Pre-order and pre-save Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony on all formats HERE.
