Wu-Tang Clan's RZA has collaborated with turntable maker, Crosley, and whisky brand, Ballantine, to release a turntable. The C6 is a manual three-speed turntable that plays both 45 and 33 1/3 RPM records and contains RCA outlets and Bluetooth functionality.

"This collaboration on turntables goes back not just to my roots of Hip-Hop, but my love of music," RZA said in an unboxing video on Instagram. "In the '70's, we didn't have instruments, so we relied on turntables to become our instruments and that led to Djing, scratching, looping, sampling, and the creation of Hip-Hop.

RZA also has also partnered with Ballantine's in what the whisky maker describes as, "A partnership founded on shared DNA." As part of its "Stay True Lifestyle" campaign RZA's C6 turnable is the first of many drops planned with the company. The Ballantine website states, "In this unparalleled partnership , the world of music, whisky, and design collide to create an unforgettable experience that champions authenticity and staying true."
