Hip Hop Insomniacs Club with GZA [Night #1]


In anticipation of GZA's upcoming album Pro Tools (hitting shelves next Tuesday), we'll be doing something a little special over the next few days (nights, really). Hip Hop Is Read's 'Insomniacs Club', a popular site feature covering classic/throwback music videos for all the late-night hip hop lovin' fiends out there, will be hosting nothing but classic GZA music videos until Pro Tools' release date. Tonight's video is for the track "I Gotcha Back" off of GZA's epic Liquid Swords record. Directed by the Genius himself, "I Gotcha Back" was the first single from Liquid Swords; check out the lyrics here, courtesy of the Original Hip Hop Lyrics Archive. A great song, great music video, and above all: great artist. The next few nights will be pretty fun... Oh, and for those who haven't picked it up yet, feel free to download our sample set for GZA's Liquid Swords by clicking the album cover below:



Bonus: this one's only for the true fans...
