In a recent interview with hiphopgame.com RZA was asked: What made you put Kane and GZA together on “Cameo Afro”? answer: ""(laughs) I did it personally for myself. Those two men, we have a history together before we got signed and when Biz Mark was the man at Cold Chillin’. We had these tapes floating around and Kane was looking for GZA and GZA was looking for Kane for a battle. Kane thought I was GZA for that “All in together now” line. I told him that wasn’t me. Kane was mad about the “Cold Chillin’” line and “been doing brothers in since Kane did Abel.” Kane took that personally. It was a real fun night and a real, real cool thing and it was a real personal thing to me to get those two great MC’s together. Also to me it also represents Afro Samurai. Afro Samurai is dealing with a black man in a slain world who happens to be No. 1 in his time period. The story is actually 10,000 years old, which you’ll learn later as the series progresses. I also wanted to go into the soul side of things. That’s why Big Daddy Kane is on a song with GZA called “Cameo Afro.” These are two dark-skinned brothers. I did it to symbolically show the depth of blackness and to let the world hear them together, whether they wanted to battle or however they wanted to do it. It’s now recorded history"".
