Words from the Genius is the debut studio album by the American rapper GZA, under his previous stage name “The Genius”. Most of the album’s production was handled by Easy Moe Bee. The album never charted, and GZA went on to co-found the Wu-Tang Clan in 1992 after the album’s failure.
It was released on February 19, 1991. It is significant as one of the few albums released by a Wu-Tang Clan member before the founding of the group in late 1992 and one of only two pre-Wu-Tang clan releases any of the members recorded with a major label (the other is Ooh, I Love You, Rakeem EP by Prince Rakeem (RZA)).
