The Best of Shaolin
Super-producer/rapper RZA was in charge when the Wu-Tang Clan came together like Voltron in the early 1990s, but Ghostface quickly cemented his position as the group’s lyrical backbone. Ghost quickly established himself as a Wu-Tang favorite thanks to his unique delivery and emotionally charged flow, but it was his solo work that ultimately cemented Ghost’s place in the hip-hop industry.
Ghostface Saves the Day
Ghost used Wu-1993 Tang’s masterpiece 36 Chambers: Enter the Wu-Tang as a springboard for his solo career, much like his Wu-Tang colleagues RZA, Method Man, GZA, and ODB. Though Tony Starks, a persona based on the superhero Iron Man from Marvel Comics, honed his shrapnel-edged poetry on 36 Chambers, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, a project with Raekwon, saw him reach the pinnacle of his skill. The album was recognized as a hip-hop classic, and Ghostface received praise for his contribution to the work.
Iron Maiden
Ghostface’s solo career was launched by Cuban Linx, and in late 1996, RZA’s Razor Sharp Records issued his debut album, Iron Man. The album was solely RZA’s creation, continuing the musical tradition of Wu-Tang. Iron Man made a slight commercial breakthrough by climbing to number two on the Billboard 200.
Cher Chez La Ghost
Ghostface stood out from the rest of the clan due to his very impossible to understand rhyming scheme, which helped him develop a cult-like following. Up until the start of 2000, when it was time to record his sophomore album, Supreme Clientele, Ghost kept himself busy by collaborating with other Wu members. “Cher Chez la Ghost.” a club favorite, was produced by Supreme Clientele. Ghost released the r&b-influenced Bulletproof Wallets a year later. Fans expressed disapproval of the CD and lamented that the iron man had become weak.
The Pretty Toney Show
Ghost moved from Epic to Def Jam due to a label change for his fourth album, The Pretty Toney Album, released in 2004. J Dilla, MF Doom, Pete Rock, Just Blaze, and other producers contributed to the production of his second Def Jam album, FishScale. The first time, RZA, the mastermind behind Wu-production, Tang’s is conspicuously absent. In its first week of availability, FishScale sold over 110,000 copies and has been praised as one of Ghostface Killah’s finest works.
2016 saw a number of Ghostface’s tour dates in the UK and across Europe. Ghostface Killah’s net worth is projected to reach $18 million as of 2023.
