Kenyan Enters RZA’s (Wu Tang Clan) Competition for Tarantino Film. Needs Your Help to Win

A Kenyan beatmaker has entered a competition where he stands a chance to win over $10,000 worth of prizes. Wu Tang Clan’s RZA is holding a competition where producers are given the chance to remix the soundtrack his latest film’s soundtrack, Built For This.

Alongside RZA, The Man With The Iron Fists also stars Russell Crowe, Cung Le, Lucy Liu and Jamie Chung among others. Artistes whose music has been featured The Black Keys, Kanye West, RZA, Wiz Khalifa, Pusha T, Corrine Bailey Rae and Wu Tang Clan. The film was written by RZA and Eli Roth (Hostel) and directed by RZA. The Man With the Iron Fists was produced by Quentin Tarantino.

Nali Katana explains, “I was inspired by the fact that it feels like a warrior/gladiator/conquest movie so I felt need to have powerful orchestral hits and percussions. I used some Asian gongs to fit in the setting and of course, made use of the stems because this is supposed to be a remix, not an original, hence complementing the original producer Frank Dukes. Props to him.”

The winning track will get  a national release on RZA’s new label, Soul Temple, official The Man with the Iron Fists poster, copy of the film’s soundtrack on CD, copy of the film’s score on CD and premium headphones with noise cancelling and a stylish design, all autographed by RZA.
