Ghostface Killah - Supreme Lyricist printer friendly version Send this story to a friend!
Article by: admin

Name: Dennis Coles
Birthdate: 9 May 1970,
New York City, New York, USA


Raised in the Staten Island district of New York, Ghostface Killah was an original member of the Wu-Tang Clan crew. On early clan appearances, his face was hidden behind a stocking mask, although no explanation was ever given for his anonymity. Ghostface Killah's voice was the first to be heard on their acclaimed 1993 debut, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Minus the mask, he made his mark in Wu-Tang Clan lore with a major contribution to Raekwon's hard hitting Only Built 4 Cuban Linx ", adopting the Tony Starks moniker on the album cover. Further appearances on the Sunset Park and Don't Be A Menace To South Central While You're Drinking Your Juice In The Hood soundtracks, prefigured the release of his debut album in November 1996. Ironman was the first release on producer RZA's Razor Sharp Records imprint. Featuring major contributions from new Wu-Tang Clan rapper Cappadonna and Raekwon (the three appeared on the album cover together), Ironman was one of the Wu-Tang family's most acclaimed releases. Featuring a more soul-orientated production than other Wu-Tang releases, the album included the highly successful duet with Mary J. Blige on "All That I Got Is You". Ironman proved to be the most commercially successful Wu-Ta ng Clan product until the release of the following year's Wu-Tang Forever, debuting at number 2 on the Billboard album chart. Further work with various members of the Wu-Tang Clan preceded the release of his eagerly anticipated sophomore collection.
