[edit] Biography

After being the resident turntablist on the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, 4th 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; Wu-Gambinos, and Guillotine (Swordz). He then produced what was at the time only the second Wu-Tang track ever to lack an 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'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."
