    Though he was already heralded for his production work with the Wu-Tang Clan before releasing his solo debut in 1998, Bobby Digital was the first album that truly let listeners know the full scope of his vision in multiple senses. Taking on the persona of his Bobby Digital for the first time, the emcee had his first chance to embody a character in something resembling a cinematic mindset, which would in turn helped groom him for scoring films in the years since. Of course, it wouldn't be a RZA production if the production concepts didn't impress more than the lyrical, and the keyboard-heavy beats on tracks like "Holocaust (Silkworm)" were a refreshing change of pace from his usual gritty instrumentals.

    RZA's first solo album, the soundtrack to a film involving experimental self-transformation, has many of the same fractured strings and crisp, staccato beats he made trademarks on Wu-Tang Clan recordings. In fact, this could well be a Wu-Tang album, even more so than the legion of other related albums. The only contributors to the project are Wu members (Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah, U-God, Inspectah Deck) or relatives (Killarmy, Masta Killa, Sunz of Man). Bobby Digital in Stereo is also a more focused work than the last Wu-Tang Clan album (Forever), and just a bit more diverse. Though the hooks aren't as big and the raps aren't as upfront, this is a producer's album, designed to showcase RZA's talents in the control room, not in front of the mic.
