Shabazz the Disciple w/ DJ Extremidiz – Hood Scripturez (CD)

Five years in the making and surrounded by underground hip-hop anticipation, Hood Scriptures marks the powerful return of Brooklyn emcee and Wu-Tang affiliate Shabazz the Disciple.

Produced entirely by Canadian beatsmith DJ Extremidiz, this uncompromising album takes listeners deep into the Red Hook projects of Brooklyn, combining dark, atmospheric production with Shabazz’s commanding delivery, vivid storytelling, and fiercely independent lyrical vision.

An early pioneer of the horrorcore-influenced style of underground hip-hop and a founding member of the Wu-Tang affiliated group Sunz of Man, Shabazz established himself as one of the genre’s most distinctive voices. Rather than relying on a compilation of guest appearances and recycled material, Hood Scriptures places his lyrical abilities firmly at the center.

Across a cinematic sequence of songs and spoken interludes, Shabazz confronts political corruption, historical injustice, urban survival, spirituality, and the struggles of life in the projects. DJ Extremidiz provides a cohesive musical backdrop of gritty drums, haunting textures, and hard-edged East Coast production.

Highlights include “Heist (With a Vengeance),” “Projects Unda Seige (F.E.M.A.),” “The Bush Verdict,” “Hood Selassie,” and “Brimstone & Fiyah.” Fellow Wu-Tang affiliates Hell Razah and Aslan appear on “The Sun of Man Must Suffah.”

Hood Scriptures is a raw, provocative statement from an underground hip-hop original, capturing the righteous anger, spiritual intensity, and uncompromising artistry that made Shabazz the Disciple a respected figure in the Wu-Tang extended family.
