Digi Snacks is the third solo album by rapper/producer RZA under his Bobby Digital alias. The album has been completed,[2][3] and is currently set to be released on June 24, 2008 on Koch Records.[4] The album was originally entitled Digi Snax, but was changed before release.[5]

The album's first single, "You Can't Stop Me Now", features fellow Wu-Tang Clan rapper Inspectah Deck;[2] a track by this name featured in reports of early track listings of the group's 8 Diagrams album. The track samples a version of the Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield composition "Message from a Black Man", also previously sampled by MF DOOM on the King Geedorah album Take Me to Your Leader.[6] The song was also used in the Mos Def song "Undeniable." RZA has since released another track, "Drama", featuring Monk and Thea.[7]

The album will also feature production from David Banner (on "Straight Up the Block", mooted to be the album's second single), from California producer Pana, and from King Tech,[1] as well as live instrumentation from Wu-Tang Clan-affilated funk/soul group Stone Mecca. The latter will also back RZA on a June/July tour of the US, also set to feature "surprise appearances by Wu-Tang members and affiliates",[1] to accompany the album's release.[3][8]

RZA described the album to Billboard.com as "simply fun hip-hop... a perfect blend of reality, fiction, sci-fi and martial arts".[1]
