As of late he has been taking his career solo and is touring in support of his 5th solo album, Pro-Tools. If seeing one of the rap scenes most well-versed lyricists wasn&amp;#39;t enough, this show marks the celebration of another event, Emo&amp;#39;s 16th Anniversary and Austin&amp;#39;s own DJ Notion, Zeale, and Phranchyze will be taking the stage that night as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Check out the official flyer designed by DJ Notion of musicNmind &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.musicnmind.net/images/flyer-09-03-08-gza-front.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; </description>

    <title>Emo's</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Emo's Austin, Austin's best small venue for live music, is located just off 6th Street on Red River. On any given night you will find some of the best bands and the most colorful staff and patrons in all of Austin sitting at our bar. And don't let the doormen scare you--some of them are really nice guys (it says so in the women's bathroom).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <comment>We all wish Nas had performed Illmatic front to back last weekend at Emo&#8217;s. Credit Wu-Tang&#8217;s most lyrical swordsman for giving the people what they want: a live recitation of 1995&#8217;s classic Liquid Swords to kick off Emo&#8217;s 16th anniversary week. Method Man was smoother, ODB more charismatic, and Ghostface spit more complex slang, but true heads know GZA always had the sharpest tongue. Meth said it best: &#8220;We form like Voltron, and GZA happens to be the head.&#8221; Locals Zeale and Phranchyze open. &#8211; Thomas Fawcett
