From 'Tical' to 'Gravel Pit,' his flow defined a certain New York grit.
For the full picture, put on 'Bring The Pain' and then 'Gravel Pit.' That's the range, from solo intensity to a classic Clan posse cut.
That voice cuts through any track. You hear it on 'Bring The Pain,' all raw energy and street-corner charisma, and it's the same presence that anchors something like 'Gravel Pit' years later. He's one of those rappers who sounds exactly like himself, no matter who he's working with.
He started rapping as a teen in Hempstead and joined the Wu-Tang Clan in 1992. The solo debut 'Tical' arrived in 1994, and he's kept putting out records like 'Tical 2000: Judgement Day' and '4:21. The Day After' ever since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
