The Twelve Days of Wu-Mas 2025 - Day #10

It may seem like there are a lot of Bronze Nazareth write-ups these days on the site, and you aren't wrong. The Grand Rapids, Michigan-based producer and emcee has quietly become one of the most prolific artists in our chosen culture, not just the Wu, whether he's offering production assistance to one of his many friends in the industry (typically handling the beats for entire full-length albums) or challenging himself by going in over someone else's instrumentals, the latter being an example of  what we're discussing today.

Bundle Raps is a collaboration between Bronzey and the UK-based producer-slash-rapper Leaf Dog (of the crew The Four Owls). Leaf's subdued, slightly drug-addled boom bap serves as the perfect foil for Bronze Nazareth's boasts-n-bullshit, whether he's promoting his prowess behind the microphone or adopting a more serious tone to talk about something important to him. Throughout the project is a running theme of drug trafficking, which I suppose was alluded to in the album's very title, which is pretty standard for hip hop, but these guys (and their invited guests, with even Leaf taking to the microphone occasionally) manage to make it sound anything but ordinary.
