4th Disciple, born Selwyn Bogard, is a hip hop producer from Steubenville, Ohio, who was one of the founding members of Killarmy and one of the best-known Wu-Tang producers. He is also known as Allah Divine, El-Divine Amir Bey.

After being the resident turntablist on the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, 4th co-produced several tracks with The RZA on the first three Wu solo albums, including Wu-Gambinos, Guillotine (Swordz), and Damage. He then produced what was at the time only the second Wu-Tang track ever to lack a RZA production credit, when the Killah Priest solo track "B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)" was included on GZA's Liquid Swords. This led to five 4th Disciple productions appearing on the double album Wu-Tang Forever. After producing 15 of the 17 tracks on Killarmy's debut album, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, and featuring heavily on the debut albums of Killah Priest (Heavy Mental) and Sunz of Man (The Last Shall be First), 4th's beats continued to appear on the solo work of the Clan members, including Inspectah Deck and Method Man. However, more recently, 4th has been concentrating his production on Killarmy, Sunz of Man, and their immediate affiliates rather than the Clan itself. He released the solo album Steel Valley Project in 1999 and was featured on Freedom of Speech with Hell Razah in 2004, both with limited distribution.

4th currently has joined Chromasywnd Inc. and will overlook all projects handled by the company. He will help with artist direction and serve as in-house producer for the label.
