Protect Ya’ Neck (and King)

From the production boards to the chess boards, the RZA reigns supreme. At the First Annual Chess Kings Invitational this past weekend in San Francisco, RZA proved that he was the hip-hop chess master.

Now that RZA has the title, he should make a documentary video about the event and call it “Searching for Bobby Digital”.
