Get Schooled

The GZA (minus the RZA, the Ol’ Dirty BZA, U-God, Chef, and the Ghostface Killah) is stopping by the Valley to hold a master class in lyrical flow Wednesday night at Pearl Street. Known as the “spiritual head” of the seminal Wu-Tang Clan, GZA/Genius is touring in promotion of his seventh solo album, the “quantum-inspired” Dark Matter.

GZA/Genius: Wednesday 8 p.m. $20. Pearl Street Ballroom, 10 Pearl St., Northampton.
