Digi Snacks is the fourth solo studio album by American rapper and producer RZA; the third album under his Bobby Digital alias. Continuing the story from Digital Bullet, the album was released[2] [3] on June 24, 2008, on Koch Records.[4] The album was originally titled Digi Snax, but it was changed before release.[5]
The album's first single, "You Can't Stop Me Now," features fellow Wu-Tang Clan rapper Inspectah Deck;[2] a track by this name featured in reports of early track listings of the group's 8 Diagrams album. RZA has since released another track, "Drama," featuring Monk of Black Knights and singer Thea van Seijen.[6]
The album also features production from David Banner (on "Straight Up the Block", suggested to be the album's second single), from California producer Panauh Kalayeh and from King Tech,[1] as well as live instrumentation from Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated funk/soul group Stone Mecca. The latter also backed RZA on a June–July tour of the US, which also featured surprise appearances by Wu-Tang members and affiliates,[1] to accompany the album's release.[3] [7]
RZA described the album to Billboard.com as "simply fun hip-hop... a perfect blend of reality, fiction, sci-fi, and martial arts."[1] The album cover's design was done by Gary Alford, and includes a brief comic within the sleeves.[8]
The album's first single, "You Can't Stop Me Now," features fellow Wu-Tang Clan rapper Inspectah Deck;[2] a track by this name featured in reports of early track listings of the group's 8 Diagrams album. The track samples a version of the Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield composition "Message from a Black Man," also previously sampled by Mos Def on Undeniable in True Magic, MF DOOM on the King Geedorah album Take Me to Your Leader,[9]
