Mystic City Assassins Presents: GZA | Swordsman ・Nomen X Edit Another liquid sword style off GZA’s 1995 masterpiece: Swordsman-showcases GZA’s incredible storytelling abilities. As with the other Liquid Swords Tributes, Nomen X provides visuals in a winter landscape, using hues of blue. As with all early Wu projects, Swordsman delves deep into the survival street psyche. We were on the same ship when the slaves were checked I had to pull your card, you was on the top deck So I plotted my escape, I saw the thin line between love and hate And fast from the hog on the plate I suffered brutal pain, from whips and chains Punishments that were set to wash the brain So look listen observe and also respect this jewel Drawed up, detect and reflect this Light I shine, because my powers is refined Through the truth, which manifest through eternal minds Purified gases and masses the same elements That helped spark civilization classes I see brothers quote math plus degrees Lip-professing-ass niggas can’t feed they own seeds GZA-Swordsman As a teenager in ‘95, I got to experience this album, and dozens like it, in real-time. It was an amazing time to be alive, and I hope by providing visuals to these legendary tracks, new & old heads alike can travel back down memory lane. In honor of this flawless gem (Liquid Swords), the Japan-based producer Nomen X, along with Mystic City Assassins, is proud to present the “Swordsman - Nomen X Edit.“ From the classic album Liquid Swords [1995] -Swordsman -GZA- ℗ 1995 Geffen Records Stream GZA’s music:
