Информация о артисте
U-God знал RZA с детства. Даже их матери были знакомы. Мама Raekwon-а знала их матерей тоже, они были из одного района, Brownsville, Brooklyn. Так что они знали друг друга, их семьи были хорошими друзьями, и так случилось что они все вместе переехали жить на Staten Island - они всегда были вместе. Ему 37 лет отроду, его зовут U-God (настоящее имя Lamont Hawkins),у него есть семнадцатилетний сын, и он очень дружелюбный и интеллегентный человек. Но его молодость, до того, как он появился в Клане, не была легкой. После окончания школы он лишь два года отучился в колледже, а затем загремел в тюрьму за торговлю наркотиками и незаконное хранение оружия. Это были обыкновенные вещи, по которым простой черный чувак из гетто попадает в тюрьму. В течении двух лет заключения U-God метался по разным четырем тюрьмам Нью Йорка. Он вышел из тюрьмы к моменту когда альбом "Enter the Wu-Tang" был почти готов, поэтому все что он смог это дважды появиться на этом альбоме в песнях "Da Mystery of Chessboxin" и "Protect Ya Neck". Все это U-God обрел благодаря RZA который сказал: "Ты готов рисковать своей жизнью на улицах, размахивая пушками и торгуя наркотой, а потом загреметь в очередной раз в тюрягу? Или ты готов поехать с нами в концертный тур, с помощью которого мы заработаем честные и немалые деньги.?" Каждый из 9ти членов Клана шел своей собственной судьбой, но у всех были неприятности такие или не такие, но также сложные, как и у U-God'а. U-God'а было мало слышно вплоть до революционного альбома "Wu-Tang Forever", все же он оставался одним из самых загадочных артистов, и из тех, чей дебют ждут с особым нетерпением. "Я должен был работать как вол, чтобы добиться своего. Я был последним кто вышел из тюрьмы, так что прохлаждаться мне не следовало. И я работал как мазефакер." Почти пол альбома "Wu-Tang Forever" было занято U-God'ом, тем не менее он все еще не удовлетворен. Далее подался в сольную карьеру, как впрочем и все учасники Wu-Tang! Его альбомы Golden Arms Redemption в 1999 году и Mr. Xcitement 2005 года выпуска тому прямое подтверждение! Read more on Last.fm.

Lamont Jody Hawkins, better known as U-God, is an American rapper and member of the multi platinum hip hop collective, Wu-Tang Clan with over 12 million records sold worldwide. He has been with the group since its inception, and has been known for coming with strong verses on Clan albums as well as other members solo albums.
U-God was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. However he moved to Staten Island, New York as a youth. He was originally a beatboxer for clan affiliate Cappadonna, as well as being well known friends with future members Method Man, Inspectah Deck, and Raekwon. Sometime before the members united, U-God was mentored in rap by Cappadonna. He soon became friends with RZA and Ghostface Killah, and he began rhyming under the alias Golden Arms, based on the kung-fu movie The Kid with The Golden Arms. Later on narcotics possession prevented him from featuring heavily on the group's debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), his input on the seminal LP consisting of only a short bridge on the group's debut single "Protect Ya Neck" in 1992 as well as the famous opening verse of "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'". Nevertheless, after his release he quickly became known to fans for his rugged flow and bass-like voice on Wu tracks such as "Winter Warz", "Knuckleheadz", "Investigative Reports", and "Black Jesus". He was featured heavily on the group's second album Wu-Tang Forever on which he was one of only four of the group to get a solo track - "Black Shampoo" (While the others being Inspectah Deck with "The City", Ol' Dirty Bastard with "Dog Shit" and RZA with "Sunshower"; clan affiliate and singer Tekitha sang 'Second Coming' solo). Around this time his young son was accidentally shot and injured, an ordeal the rapper documented on the Wu-Tang Clan track "A Better Tomorrow". He appeared with all the clan members during the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, as well as on tour for the release of Wu Tang Clan's latest album, 8 Diagrams. U-God released his third studio album Dopium in 2009 and touring around the globe in support of 8 Diagrams. He released his fourth studio album Keynote Speaker in 2013.
