Darryl Hill (born September 18, 1969) best known by his stage name
Cappadonna, is an American rapper affiliated with the Wu-Tang Clan.
He is also a member of rap duo Wu South, along with Ratchet Rush
.
According to U-God, before the Wu-Tang days, he was a beatbox for
Cappadonna before getting into rap.
He 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" 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, Ghostface Killah & Wu-Tang affiliate Blue Raspberry.
Afterwards, 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 returned
to the music industry shortly after, releasing 2003's The Struggle
album. This album featured some Wu-Tang Clan members, and was released
on Wu affiliate Remedy's record label.
