RZA announced he was working on a collaborative album with DJ Scratch called Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater in an interview with HipHopDX last June. Speaking on his partnership with Cadillac at the time, the Wu-Tang Clan legend said he’d tested two of the project’s songs using the 2021 Escalade’s 36 speaker AKG Studio Reference System.
“It sounds remarkable, and I actually took advantage of the opportunity and played two of my own new songs in a demo form,” he said. “So I played a song called to ‘Pugilism’ that DJ Scratch produced for me and a new song ‘Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater.’ Yo, trust me. I’m just going to say this outloud — in this song, I mention Escalade. So it’s crazy. I recorded it before the campaign.”

He continued, “But what I’m about to do this summer — and I’ll just announce it — I’m going to put out that album. Me and DJ Scratch got the album done. There was a little misprint in the press a couple of weeks ago about Digital Potion. No, the new album that I’m putting out with DJ Scratch is called Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater.”
