Notable_instruments =4th Disciple, El-Divine Amir Bey (born Selwyn Bougard), hip hop producer, engineer who was one of the founding members of
Killarmy and one of the best-known Wu-Tang affiliated producers. Though RZA organized the group, 4th was the group's only producer. [ [http://altrap.com/write/?p=554 Altrap.com » INTERVIEW: Killarmy ] ]Biography
After being the resident turntablist on the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album "", 4th co-produced several tracks with
The RZA on the first three Wu solo ventures by various artists, including some ofRaekwon 'sOnly Built 4 Cuban Linx ' tracks; Wu-Gambinos, and Guillotine (Swordz). He then produced what was at the time only the second Wu-Tang track ever to lack a RZA production credit, when theKillah Priest solo track "B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)" was included onGZA 's "Liquid Swords ". This led to five 4th Disciple productions appearing on the double album "Wu-Tang Forever ". After producing 15 of the 17 tracks on Killarmy's debut album, "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars ", and featuring heavily on the debut albums ofKillah Priest ("Heavy Mental ") and Sunz of Man ("The Last Shall be First "), 4th's beats continued to appear on the solo work of the Clan members, including Inspectah Deck and Method Man. However, more recently, 4th has been concentrating his production on Killarmy, Sunz of Man, and their immediate affiliates rather than the Clan itself.The RZA did, in fact, produce and co-produce with 4th on their debut album, "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars ," namely for the tracks "Wake Up" and "War Face." His latest production is with a new artist from New Jersey named Bizz, who is signed to independent Blakglobe Records and has a distrubution deal through Colossal Entertainment and Koch.Discography
