The story is about the Wu-Tang Clans, the Rizza.

At the age of nine, he was hanging around junkies and dealers, perverts, and sex workers in Times Square.

And by his teens, he was selling dime bags of weed to day traders on Wall Street.

His first shot at a music career hit backfire, plunged him back into a cycle of poverty and violence,

that he was so desperately trying to escape.

He sold harder drugs in Ohio where he was involved in a Christmas Eve shooting that landed him in a fight for his life.

And this all happened before the Rizza made great music.

Some of the most definitive hip-hop music of all time as mastermind of the groundbreaking Wu-Tang Clan.

Unlike that music I played for you at the top of the show, that wasn't great music.

That was a preset loop for my Melotron called Jackie's Beach Party MK1.

I played you that clip because I can't afford the rights to black or white by Michael Jackson.

And why would I play you that specific slice of shaman cheese could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America on December 24, 1991.

And that was the day that the Rizza was arrested and charged with attempted murder.

On this episode, dime bags, poverty, hard drugs, a Christmas Eve shooting, and attempted murder in Wu-Tang Clans the Rizza.

I'm Jake Brennan, and this is Disgrace Land.

The glue sniffers stood there drooling. His speech was slurred.

The eyes have closed, so pathetic bastard, harmless though.

But he was important, important to 9-year-old Bobby Diggs.

The boy the world would later know as the Rizza.

And the young Rizza, aka young Bobby here, was equally important to the glue sniffer.

The glue sniffer was older, so he could buy Bobby a ticket for the R-rated movie that Bobby wanted to see.
