Bronze Nazareth (born Justin Cross in Detroit, Michigan) is a hip-hop producer and rapper associated with the Wu-Tang Clan.

Biography

Around 1998, Bronze Nazareth met with producer and rapper Cilvaringz who was impressed by his work and added him to his own production team and label Ringz & Partners Inc. with whom Bronze released the internet-only release "The Unknown - Death's Birth: The Grip Of Behemoths" in 2002. Eventually he was asked by RZA to join the Wu's in-house team. Bronze went on to contribute two beats to RZA's solo album Birth of a Prince. He produced most of the 2005 compilation album "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture", released on Dreddy Kruger's label Think Differently Music. On May 23, 2006 he released his solo debut on this label titled "The Great Migration" to critical acclaim. It features Wu-Tang Clan affiliates such as Timbo King, Prodigal Sunn and Killa Sin.
