Wu-Tang Clan affiliates
The pioneering hardcore hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan's plan to conquer the hip hop industry consisted not only of making each member into a solo star in their own right, but also to create and promote numerous affiliate artists.
4th Disciple
Producer from Steubenville, Ohio, who was one of the founding members of Killarmy and one of the most well-known Wu-Tang producers. After being the resident turntablist on the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album ', 4th co-produced with RZA several tracks on the first three Wu solo albums, including Wu-Gambinos, Guillotine (Swordz) and Damage. He then produced what was at the time only the second Wu-Tang track ever at the time not to be have a RZA production credit, when the Killah Priest solo track "B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)" was included on GZA's Liquid Swords. This led to five 4th Disciple productions appearing on the double album Wu-Tang Forever. After producing 15 out of 17 tracks on Killarmy's debut album Silent Weapons For Silent Wars and featuring heavily on the debuts of Killah 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 expressed his desire to not produce for the Clan themselves, instead concentrating his production on Killarmy, Sunz Of Man and their immediate affiliates. He released the solo album Steel Valley Project Vol. 1 in 1999 and the Freedom Of Speech with Hell Razah in 2004, both with very limited distribution.
