Freshly House of York -- Wu-Tang Kinship group flop RZA, System of rules of a Cut down bassist
Shavo Odadjian, Kinetic 9 (aka Beretta 9 from Killarmy) and
up-and-coming Windy City rapper Reverend William Edmund Burke have formed the
newly group Achozen. The hip-hop/rock crossbreed of late finished
recording a self-titled debut album that is set to be released in
the summer on Shavo's online digital judge, urSESSION.

affiliate Killah Non-Christian priest, Wu-Tang introduction extremity GZA, host Sick
Jacken from Psychotic Kingdom, and doorknocker Leggezin Fin too appear on
the record album.
"Shavo is my neighbour, and we used to hang out in the studio. We
realized it was unique that even though we had different
backgrounds, we had so much in green with our menage, our
dedication, our thoughts and the distress of our citizenry," RZA
said, explaining how Achozen came together. "So, we teamed up old age
ago and feature been workings on the project for two days. It's unlike
anything else I've ever done."
According to RZA, Achozen is a "heavy rap" album that touches
on topics such as race murder and political sympathies. Most of the production on
the set was done by Odadjian, with the exclusion of iI samples.
Odadjian also plays instruments throughout, including bass and
sitar.
The offset single, "Deuces," celebrates Odadjian's April 22 natal day
and "the day my life changed and I became a positive degree person, which
is as well Apr 22nd," RZA said. The song will premiere on urSESSION.com on
Tues at 4:22 p.m. PT.
