MASTA KILLA OF WU-TANG CLAN

Masta Killa, is a rapper and member of the Wu-Tang Clan. The lyricist has been prolific on Clan group albums and solo projects since the mid-1990s. He released his debut album No Said Date in 2004 to positive reviews and has since released three additional albums.

Masta Killa was the last member to join the Wu-Tang Clan. He was the only member who was not a rapper at the time of the group's formation. He was extensively mentored by the GZA during his early days with the group, evident in the similar flow they both employ. He derived his rap name from the 1978 kung fu film Shaolin Master Killer, (Shao Lin san shi liu fang). Masta Killa only appeared on one track on the Wu-Tang Clan's first album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in the closing verse to "Da Mystery of Chessboxin".
