The First Testament is an unreleased album by Wu-Tang Clan affiliated group Sunz of Man. In 2004 the album re-released as Elements. A number of tracks from the album were released on singles, including "Deep in the Water", "In the Beginning..." and "The Sins of Men". However, due to heavy bootlegging, the album never saw a proper release. The group took a hiatus, while Killah Priest established his solo career. The Elements re-release is merely just a compilation of The First Testament and Hell Razah's When All Hell Breaks Loose albums put together.
