What's the hip hop song on the new Belvedere vodka commercial by Terry Richardson?
Trying to track down the rap song on the new Belvedere vodka commercial. The commercial was made by Terry Richardson and features Vincent Gallo acting sleazy at a house party.
I've already searched for this on Google to the best of my abilities as well as on the Adtunes.com site. There's a few threads there of people asking the same question but no right answer. One person states that it's The RZA, but it's clearly not his voice (though I recognize the voice and think it perhaps is indeed someone Wu-Tang related).
Any clues would be much appreciated!

A commenter here identifies it as "an original track by the RZA."

Also think it's an original track for the ad by The RZA until we hear differently.

If it's a Wu-MC, somebody around here ought to be able to identify 'em. Well, at least if it's one of the heavy hitters, not some third-rate weed carrier like Sixty Second Assassin or Shawn Wiggs or the Hillside Scramblas or somebody.
(Most, but not all, of the 'belvedere' clips on YouTube involve Mr. Belvedere. Or the Plymouth Belvedere (hey, what's the music in this ad?).)

Response by poster: I would have given you guys a link to the video but I can't find it online anywhere as of yet, having searched Youtube and everywhere else for it already.
Also, I realize that some folks are saying it's the RZA but if you hear it I think you'll agree that it's not. Perhaps I'm wrong, (I don't think I am, I know his voice and that ain't it) but even if it is him, I'm still hoping for a song title and/or a reference to where it might be found.

Response by poster: I don't recall for certain but I'm pretty sure that I saw it advertised during Nip/Tuck on FX channel.
I've seen it a few different times now though, all within the last two weeks and always later at night. I think it's brand new, I first noticed the commercial around Thanksgiving.

Response by poster: Ok, here's the crappy video capture from my tv:

Try and watch it quick as I'm sure Youtube will pull it soon. The vocals come at the end at around 20 seconds in.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen a credit at the end of the commercial that says the song is by RZA.

Response by poster: Ok, I'm willing to accept it's The RZA if everyone says it is. If anyone finds out the actual name of the song and/or if it's on any release I can track down, let me know.
Thanks all!

Bob Digi, yeah you know who is he. I'm don't think that's RZA rhyming in that commercial. I could easily be wrong, natch.

Best answer: There's been an update on the adtunes site that seems to conclude that indeed:
"The track is a custom made track for Belvedere by Rza, formerly of WuTang Clan."

Do I get to mark my own question as best answer? :)
