[edit] Biography
Cappadonna made his debut on the songs "Ice Cream" & "Ice Water" on Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. In late 1996, he appeared on the track "Winter Warz" off of Ghostface's Ironman and for the soundtrack to Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood[1] alongside Ghostface Killah, Masta Killa, U-God, and Raekwon, and made several prominent appearances on the group's second album Wu-Tang Forever in 1997, most notably on the stand-out lead single "Triumph". In 1998 he released his debut "The Pillage" on Razor Sharp Records and featured production done by RZA, True Master & Goldfingaz and also featured guest appearances by Wu-Tang Members: U-God, Method Man & Wu-Tang affiliates Tekitha and Blue Raspberry. He was the first in a string of then affiliates of the Wu-Tang Clan to stand out successfully on his own.[citation needed]
As he began work on his second album, Cappadonna says "he intentionally gave up what material possessions he had amassed and walked the streets of Baltimore for 8 months, before returning to the rap game".[2] He furthered to work with the likes of Raekwon, Ghostface Killah; all the while becoming a more stable member of the clan on each of the group's albums. He continued to release material, on independent labels.[citation needed]
