U.K.-based hip-hop artist, producer and kung fu movie fan Quest-Rah has unveiled a new classic kung fu-inspired music video for “The Quest,” a featured track off his new album “Ancient Tapes Vol.1.”

"Ancient Tapes Vol. 1" - Quest-Rah

The track and its accompanying video is more subtle in its kung fu references than an RZA or Wu Tang Clan track but the underlying influence is there. Quest-Rah explains it the following way.

“Filmed in a traditional-style teahouse, I rap to an oriental flute-backed theme with lyrics about journeying across lands looking for a dope hip-hop beat and ending up in a teahouse to find it, all the while piercing MCs with lyrical arrows and darts along the way!”

“The Quest” is one half of a music video double-feature that includes “Element of Truth.” Both are produced by Global Faction.

“Ancient Tapes Vol. 1″ is available for purchase online at CDBaby.com and at Quest-Rah’s official Myspace page.

    I'll be so happy if nobody ever does another kung fu themed hip-hop video or movie ever again. Ugh.
