From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El-Divine Amir Bey (born Selwyn Bougard),
better known by his stage name 4th Disciple, is a hip hop producer
and engineer who was one of the founding members of Killarmy and one of the
best-known Wu-Tang-affiliated
producers.
Biography
After being the resident turntablist on the Wu-Tang Clan's debut
album, Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, 4th Disciple
co-produced several tracks with The RZA on the first three Wu solo ventures
by various artists, including some of Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' tracks:
"Criminology", "Guillotine (Swordz)", "Spot Rusherz", and
"Wu-Gambinos,". 4th Disciple then produced what was at the time
only the second Wu-Tang track ever to lack 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 of the 17 tracks on Killarmy's debut album,
Silent Weapons for Quiet
Wars, and featuring heavily on the debut albums of Killah Priest
(Heavy
Mental) and Sunz of Man (The Last Shall be First), 4th
Disciple's beats continued to appear on the solo work of the Clan
members, including Inspectah Deck and Method Man. However, more
recently, 4th Disciple 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 the tracks
"Wake Up" and "War Face" from Silent Weapons for Quiet
Wars
4th Disciple's latest production is with a new artist from New
Jersey named Bizz, who is signed to independent Blakglobe Records
and has a distribution deal through Colossal Entertainment and
E1/Koch.[2]
