Bronze Nazareth Wu extended family producer and MC, recently also featured on Cas Metah's "Bruce Wayne" takes exclusively the rap side here, while Kevlaar 7 handles the complete production. "Elysian" references the Elysium of Greek mythology that paradisiacal place for the blessed of the underworld, an image of peace after struggle. Thirteen tracks, framed by "Elysian Invocation" and "Elysian Benediction" with Sunez Allah invocation and benediction as bookends around the entire album. In between: Hollywood Dots on "Lupus," Salute Da Kidd on "Bad Boys '04" and "House of Legends," Lord Jessiah on "My Dead Brother Superhero," So7o on the track of the same name. "Adesanya" presumably references UFC champion Israel Adesanya, "All I Could Do (I'm Open 2)" points to and continues an earlier work, "Jacob's Ladder" picks up a biblical image of the stairway to heaven. Kevlaar 7 also Wu extended family, known from Wisemen and Kinetic 9 collaborations gives the album a unified, atmospheric production line. The combination of Greek mythology, biblical imagery and street narrative ("Bad Boys '04") shows the typical Wu extended family method: different knowledge systems aren't played against each other but fused into a shared cosmological language. For listeners following Bronze Nazareth's catalog, "Elysian" is another dense chapter in a body of work that has consistently mediated between spirituality and street reality for years.
