Cappadonna

Darryl Hill (born 1969), best known by his stage name Cappadonna, is an American rapper and close affiliate of the Wu-Tang Clan.

Biography

In late 1996, he appeared on a track for the soundtrack to Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood 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."

Rumors abound about his brief change in vocation: it is hypothesized that he did so in order to support himself and his family, while Cappadonna's own explanation is that "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". Regardless, 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, although Cappadonna maintained at the time he was not directly associated with the group itself anymore. In fact, he later publicly accused RZA of cheating him out of royalties, a charge that RZA strenuously denied.
