School for the Blindman

Hailing from Grand Rapids, Mich., Bronze Nazareth is part of the latter-era Wu-Tang Clan affiliates; he’s been collaborating with the group since shortly after the millennium. A producer and rapper, he contributed most of the beats to 2005\'s *Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture* and was also featured on RZA\'s *Birth of a Prince*, as well as 60 Second Assassin\'s *Remarkable Timing*. On *School for the Blindman*, he connects with guests like Raekwon and Canibus (\"The Bronzeman 2\"), RZA (\"Fresh from the Morgue\"), and La the Darkman (\"Fire Implanters\"), among others. Stylistically, grimy rhymes, rugged drums, and nicely chopped soul samples dominate. While it’s not on par with the first generation of classic Wu releases (though really, what is?), it\'s still a rock-solid release and will surely be enjoyed by hardcore WTC fans. Other standouts include \"King of Queens,\" \"Records We Used to Play,\" and the numerous instrumental interludes.

Regarded as Detroit's counterpart to Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA, Bronze has moved beyond the boundaries of a producer and proven himself as a lyricist through his performances on The Great Migration (2006), Wisemen Approaching (2007) and Children Of A Lesser God (2010). Heralded as a super-producer for his work on Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture, Vol. 1, Bronze has remained integral to the Clan's sound for the past decade. With appearances on seminal Wu-Tang Clan projects ranging from RZA's Birth Of A Prince to Raekwon's Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, Bronze has established himself as a purveyor of the gritty sound that defines the Clan's sound. Don't be fooled; despite studying under the tutelage of RZA, Bronze's style is all his own, with rhymes to match. "If anyone's going to be the figurehead for the sprawling second and third waves of Wu-Tang Clan affiliates" writes Daniel Levin Becker of Dusted Magazine, "it might as well be Detroit's Bronze Nazareth." School For The Blindman charted on Billboard at #64 on the Hip-Hop/R&B Top 200. (Sept 2011 Issue) With production handled almost entirely by Bronze himself, School For The Blindman is a necessity for any Wu-Tang fan, with guest appearances from RZA, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Canibus, La The Darkman, Killah Priest, Willie The Kid, and The Wisemen.
