About Ghostface Killah: Like many rap and hip-hop artists, Ghostface Killah emerged from a highly successful group act to become a standout success. But Ghostface did not get his start with just any group, he was an original member of the hip-hop supergroup the Wu-Tang Clan, which was lauded as "the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-'90s," according to All Music Guide online. Ghostface was first heard on the group's debut, Enter the Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers), and on the critically and commercially successful subsequent releases Wu-Tang Forever and The W. The rapper demonstrated his own skills on fellow Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon's solo album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and on his own first solo track, "Winter Warz," featured in the film soundtrack to Don't Be a Menace to South Central While You're Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Ghostface came into his own with his highly successful full-length solo releases Ironman and Supreme Clientele, which both featured cameo appearances and production assistance from his Wu-Tang Clan cohorts.
Supreme Clientele received almost unanimously rave reviews and went on to become a certified gold selling record. The release was a rare example of a "sophomore overshadowing its predecessor," wrote one critic in the Source. Village Voice praised Ghostface's "vocal clarity, verbal dexterity, and narrative facility" throughout the release. Ghostface pondered the elements of everyday life on the recording, including life on the streets, soul food, and music.
