Digital Bullet is the second solo studio album by American hip hop artist RZA under his pseudonym Bobby Digital. The album was released on August 28, 2001. As a sequel to Bobby Digital in Stereo (1998), the album focuses on an attempt to develop Bobby Digital further, and follows a loose story arc that focused on the character becoming more enlightened and more disillusioned with hedonism as the album progresses. The limited-edition version sold at Best Buy outlets featured two bonus tracks, which were also on the Japanese version of the album released by JVC Records.
