Digi Snacks is the fourth solo studio album by American rapper and producer RZA, and the third album released under his Bobby Digital persona. It follows Digital Bullet and was released on June 24, 2008, on Koch Records. The album was originally titled Digi Snax before it was changed.

Key highlights:
- First single: "You Can't Stop Me Now" featuring Inspectah Deck. A track with this name had appeared in early listings for Wu-Tang Clan’s 8 Diagrams.
- Other tracks: "Drama" featuring Monk and Thea van Seijen; production from David Banner on "Straight Up the Block," plus Panauh Kalayeh and King Tech; live instrumentation from Stone Mecca.
- Live promotion: RZA toured the U.S. with Stone Mecca to support the album, with surprise appearances from Wu-Tang members and affiliates.

Concept and artwork:
- RZA described Digi Snacks as fun hip-hop that blends reality, fiction, sci-fi, and martial arts.
- The cover art was designed by Gary Alford and includes a comic inside the sleeve. The idea is to present Bobby Digital’s world as a “snack pack” that includes music, comic storytelling, sci-fi elements, and black-exploitation vibes.
- The artwork features a girl with an afro, an Asian girl, Bobby sitting on a throne, and four bird-like villains named Raven, Hawk, Eagle, and Crane—the artist’s nemeses.

Expanded universe:
- RZA has discussed plans for a comic book and a video game to accompany Digi Snacks.

Sample note:
- The single “You Can’t Stop Me Now” samples Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield’s "Message from a Black Man," a sample also used by Mos Def, MF DOOM, and Nas in related tracks.
