A hip samurai

Hip Hop samurai...? I think I'm going to break down crying very soon. Either that, or laughing hysterically.

Story:
The RZA has been contracted to score an animated martial arts series to be broadcast on Spike TV in the fall.

The acclaimed Wu Tang producer will craft the score of Afro Samurai, an animated series that stars actor Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson’s voice will be used for the protagonist of the series, an unorthodox hero based on Takashi Okazaki’s graphic novel of the same name.

Afro Samurai is a tale of a Black samurai seeking vengeance on the killers of his father. The series also melds Hip-Hop with martial arts, a combination that RZA is very familiar with.
