Biography

Shabazz the Disciple (born David Collins) is an emcee from the Red Hook Houses of Red Hook, Brooklyn. He is mostly associated with the Wu-Tang Clan. He was discovered by the RZA prior to the release of the Wu’s debut album Enter the Wu-Tang as he was a founding member of the Sunz of Man, back then they were known as Da Last Future and entirely produced by Supreme. He even gets a shout out on the intro to “Clan In Da Front”.

After hooking up with the Wu-Tang, Shabazz made two guest appearances on the first Gravediggaz album 6 Feet Deep, and then he signed to the GZA Entertainment management agency. He remained an official member of Sunz of Man until just before the group released its debut LP The Last Shall Be First; his best-known solo track “Death be the Penalty” was originally intended to be a Sunz of Man track on the B-side to their single “Soldiers of Darkness,” but the other members were so impressed with his contribution he was given the track for himself. This track was met with mixed emotions mainly because many felt it was extremely self righteous and incredibly hypocritical.

In the mid-90s Shabazz released a handful of singles, such as “Death be the Penalty”, “Crime Saga”, “The Lamb’s Blood” and “Street Parables”, in anticipation of his planned 1998 debut LP which was scrapped after GZA/Genius’ GZA Entertainment label folded. Due to that deal folding, Shabazz’s Wu affiliation (along with the affiliation of his close friend Killah Priest, also a GZA Entertainment refugee) began to wane.

    Since last-fm users seems determined to spell the "the" in the middle of the moniker, even though its not the first word in the title, with a capital T (looks like shit), Ima scrobble this fine mc as Scientific Shabazz instead.
