INFO

The Wisemen are a Detroit based, Wu-Tang affiliated group consisting of rapper/producers Bronze Nazareth and Kevlaar 7 as well as MC’s Phillie and Salute. In 2006, Bronze Nazareth released his debut solo album, The Great Migration, to much critical acclaim. This heralded release helped lay the foundation for the Wisemen’s debut album, Wisemen Approaching (2007), released on the underground hip hop promised land, Babygrande Records.

The Wisemen’s sound is rooted in the contemporary Wu-Tang sound (2000 – present), which typically consists of raw lyrics delivered over hard hitting drums and soul samples. “Iconoclasts” is by far the album’s standout track as the Wisemen, along with super-lyricists Killah Priest and Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox, practice verbal gymnastics over a horn ladened beat. On “Associated,” Bronze Nazareth provides an up-tempo beat on which the Wisemen spit effective battle rhymes and Wu-Tang Killer Bee GZA makes you forget that he is 40 years old. “Mixture of Muhammed” employs a beautiful vocal sample and a well placed drum roll that perfectly accompanies Kevlaar 7’s aggressive delivery. Other notable songs include “Goblins” and “Welcome Home.”
