RZA’s New One Spoon of Chocolate: Black Cinema Power, and a New Blueprint for Hip-Hop Creators
Executive Overview: RZA’s Next Master Move Hits Tribeca
Hip-hop legend RZA, best known as the architect of Wu-Tang Clan, just took Black cinema to a new level. His action-thriller, RZA’s New One Spoon of Chocolate, is set to premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.
Headlining June 8 at the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC, with follow-up screenings on June 9 and June 12 at Village East by Angelika.
This is a demonstration of how Black creators can control narrative, business, and impact on the global stage.
From Wu-Tang to Hollywood: RZA’s Creative Control and Industry Playbook
- Written, directed, and produced by RZA—the creative mastermind keeps full ownership and vision, showing artists how to move beyond music and control the entire process from concept to screen.
- All-star cast: Shameik Moore (lead), Paris Jackson, RJ Cyler, Blair Underwood, and Jason Isbell headline the film, raising the stakes for Black and multicultural storytelling in cinema.
- Plot summary: The film follows Unique (Moore), a former military convict who moves to a small town for a new start. Only to find himself battling a corrupt sheriff and deputies. It’s a story of resilience, power, and standing on business against all odds.
What This Means for Primal Mogul Members: Game Recognizes Game
Ownership Is Everything:
- RZA did not just license his name—he built the project from script to final cut. The lesson: when you control your work, you control your check and your legacy.
Cross-Discipline Power Moves:
- Don’t get boxed in. RZA shifted from rapper/producer to screenwriter and director. Every entrepreneur, artist, or hustler should be ready to pivot, rebrand, and take over new lanes.
Strategic Use of Major Platforms:
- Premiering at Tribeca is a business move, not just a creative one. It puts the film on the map for distributors, critics, and global fans. Use big stages to expand your reach, then bring that value back to your brand or platform.
Telling Our Stories, Our Way:
- One Spoon of Chocolate isn’t just entertainment; it’s about representing authentic voices. RZA’s film puts a Black protagonist at the center of a suspenseful, high-stakes drama. When you own your story, you shape culture.
