The Wisemen is a hip hop group formed by Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Bronze Nazareth (who is one of the newest and most-heralded Wu-Tang affiliates) and his brother, the lyricist and producer Kevlaar 7.
They are known for soulful, jazzy, gritty instrumentals and polished, dense, thought-provoking lyrics depicting life in the city of Detroit, Michigan. The group consists of emcee/producer Bronze Nazareth, emcee/producer Kevlaar 7, and emcees Phillie, Salute the Kid, Illah Dayz, and June Megalodon. The latter two artists did not appear on the group's debut album.
The group released their debut album, Wisemen Approaching, on February 27, 2007 which featured Wu-Tang Clan member GZA as well as Killah Priest, Planet Asia, Prodigal Sunn, and others. The album was fully produced by Wisemen members (and siblings) Bronze Nazareth and Kevlaar 7.
Their second album entitled Children of a Lesser God was released on October 26, 2010 and features Raekwon, Planet Asia, and more with production from Bronze Nazareth and Kevlaar 7 as well as live instrumentation from the band Project Lionheart.
