[Album] BRONZE NAZARETH - "Food For Thought Vol. 3"

December is definitely shaping up to be one of the best Wu-Tang Clan related months in the years of music for several years. Whie I'm super hyped for the official Clan allbum "A Better Tomorrow" which drops on December 2; the album leaked yesterday in full and sounds as dope as I would've had hoped with real stellar verses and a good mix of the old and the new RZA/Wu sound. It really sounds great as a cohessive front-to-back listen. Then of course you got Ghostface's new concept album "36 Seasons" with impeccable live band The Revelations and producer Fizzy Womack, etc. is bound to be another powerful release, dropping the very same day on Tommy Boy nonteheless (kind of funny that both GFK and Wu dropped their respective new albums on the same date the last time around as well). 

Now official Wu-Elementz producer and Michigan emcee Bronze Nazareth returns with the third installment in his "Food For Thoughts", featuring Bronze's vintage soul heavy boom bap type sound that is sure to put the screwface oon a lot of the times. It's interesting to know that Bronze pretty much thought Apollo Brown everything he owned, even giving him his first equipment, and was part of the Wisemen at one point yet, despite the extreme similarities in their style, I don't think I've heard Brown shout on Bronze Nazareth on a record yet. "Thought For Food III" features Bronze's traditional hard hitting soulscapes over his ever improving lyricism and that ever growing flow and is definitely worth your time. Featuring cameos long time collaborations from peeps such as Willie The Kid, Wisemen and Lord Jesseiah. You can stream the entire album via Bronze's Bandcamp below, where you can also purchase your copy in CD or digital formats. Enjoy!

[Album] WILLIE THE KID x BRONZE NAZARETH - "The Living Daylights"

Willie The Kid and Bronze Nazareth has definitely been on their respective grinds these past few years, so the news that they were working on a full-length collaboration came as a real pleasant suprise to many. The resulting "The Living Daylights" is now available, and is something you without question will want to hear ASAP as it features Willie's typical hustle and grind lyrics over Bronze's Shaolin Soul chops, with guest spots from heavy hitters such as Roc Marciano, Sean Price, LA The Darkman, Sha Stimuli and Boldy James. Luckily, Noisey.com has got the go-ahead to premier the entire album as a free stream throught their Audiomack account, though the project of course is available for purchase @ iTunes as well. SICK!!

JAMAL HOSTILE Ft. Inspectah Deck & Bronze Nazareth - "Blood, Sweat & Tears"

Last year emcee Jamal Hostile and producer Falling Down (Killarmy, Inspectah Deck, etc.) released an EP on ChamberMusik called "More Steps to Conquer". That project has now been expanded into a full-length release featuring 27 tracks and guest verses from the likes of Inspectah Deck, Bronze Nazareth, Fes Taylor, Bugsy Da God, Dark Skinned Assassin, and many more. Still all produced by the underrated Falling Down, the first single is titled "Blood, Sweat & Tears" and is a certified banger featuring Inspectah Deck and Bronze Nazareth. TURN IT UP!!

WILLIE THE KID Ft. Sean Price & Sha Stimuli - "Delirium"

Willie The Kid has really stepped out of his brother's shadow this last year with a string of knocking releases, most recently the highly rewind-worthy "Masterpiece Theater" EP with producer The Alchemist. Now, only a few months later The Kid is back with a full-length album, completely produced by critically acclaimed Wisemen member Bronze Nazareth. We've heard two tracks before that all sound pretty promising, but the latest single that was just premiered by Complex.com is in fact the fattest yet. Entitled "Delirium", the song features Willie lyrically sparring with no lesser spitters than Sean Price and Sha Stimuli over a vintage soul-chop-heavy Bronze Nazareth beat. Check out the single and the tracklist below (with links to the two previous singles for anyone who might've missed on 'em the first time). "The Living Daylights" will be available January 2014...

Endemic Ft. Roc Marciano, PR Terrorist & Kevlaar7 - "Capos"

The always ill Endemic comes through with another slamming beat for "Capos", pairing up the don Roc Marciano with Killarmy's P.R. Terrorist (p/k/a Dom Pachino who always was among my favorites in the Army) and Kevlaar7 of the Wisemen. The result is nothing short of bonafide heat, and there's no question that "Terminal Illness 2" will be pretty fucking fantastic! I want to give a shout out to Billo and WTCFoLife Blog for this one, by far the best Wu-Tang related blog on the net right now!
