RZA Expects $500,000 Loss On Wu-Tang Clan’s “A Better Tomorrow” Album

In a recent interview RZA did with the New York Times, he spoke on investment and expected financial loss of Wu-Tang Clan’s upcoming album, A Better Tomorrow.  It turns out he invested a large portion of his own money into the new Wu album.

“Everything,” RZA says of what he’s paying for out of his own pocket. “And I won’t recoup. I’m already overbudget. Maybe I’ll net out a half-million-dollar loss.”

“I invested in the album,” he continues. “Look, if I never did anything again in music, it wouldn’t affect my life materially. I live a very satisfying life. Not because I’ve made a few dollars, but because I have a wife who loves me and children who wait for me to come home. And that is beautiful. I think that’s the American dream: to be at peace at home.”
