U-God

One of the lesser-known MCs in the nine-member Wu-tang Clan, U-God was born Lamont Hawkins, and also raps under the aliases Golden Arms, Lucky Hands, Baby U, and 4-Bar Killer. U-God missed out on the first round of Wu-tang solo projects, which occurred in between the releases of the Enter The Wu-tang: 36 Chambers and Wu-tang Forever albums; however, he got his chance during the second go-round that followed. 1999's Golden Arms Redemption made him the eighth member of the group to record a solo album. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
