| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Some might wonder how Wu-Tang impresario the RZA has aged in the skin of his familiar retro-futuristic alter-ego Bobby Digital. A line from DIGI SNACKS' opening intro gives a hint, as he devilishly assures listeners that he's still got that "old Jack Nicholson grin, I stay sinister." He also stays subtly diverse, segueing from smooth funk guitar (swimming in entrancingly murky production) to the choppy, Southern rap-inspired "Straight Up the Block," which taps Mississippi maestro David Banner as guest producer. The weird generation-less ambiguity of the Bobby Digital character gives RZA license to skip between eras and genres, sounding like either a bold innovator or an intelligent emulator. And on "No Regrets," he comes close to downright genius, creating a creepy anti-atmosphere that lurks beneath an aggressive call-and-response hook, bringing Wu-Tang's minimalist aesthetic well into the 21st century. RZA has had an up-and-down solo career, but on DIGI SNACKS he forges ahead with a true feast of aural weirdness that will delight his loyally blunted fanbase. |

| | Professional Reviews | | XXL (Magazine)
(p.111)
- "Acoustic guitars and melancholic keys make up the macabre 'Don't Be Afraid to Call My Name'....Overall, DIGI SNACKS convincingly displays RZA's fearless sensibilities."Blender (Magazine)
(p.82)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] a lively, unexpected dash of soul. And with smoothly rollicking grooves, funk outfit Stone Mecca flood RZA's dark cities with light....It's a bright spot in the Bobby Digital series." URB (Magazine)
(p.83)
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "RZA is in his element as Bobby Digital. Experimentation and metamorphosis -- of sound and character -- are the paragons of this alter ego..." |
