The Optimist - GZA & Friends vs. Tom Waits (2008)


Hip-Hop, Experimental, Collaboration

     I'm not sure if this is an official release or not  & I couldn't find much information on this album in general, but that doesn't make it any less interesting.  An unexpected collaboration to say the least. Amasa suggested that GZA & Tom Waits may have met on the set of Coffe & Cigarettes which makes sense. To be honest I don't think there is much new or original Tom Waits on this album, but rather remixes of Tom Waits' songs, with hip-hop veterans such as Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, GZA, Kool Keith and many more. Again, I have no idea if this is a legit album, but it definitely exists. Hard to find, good luck.
