[edit] Biography

Joined the Wu-Tang family in 1999, after spending two years flying back and forth to New York in an effort to meet RZA. He initially made himself known to the group after jumping on stage during a Clan concert in Amsterdam and delivering a freestyle that impressed the group members. He was eventually invited backstage after the show by RZA, but in the end was refused admittance by venue security. Cilvaringz subsequently put a lot of effort into getting his demo tape heard by RZA, including making several trips to New York and waiting for hours in front of his office. Eventually, with help from RZA's sister Sophia Diggs, the tape finally was heard by RZA himself, who was impressed and signed him to his Wu-Tang International label. He has since made appearances on several Wu-Tang projects, including the RZA's own Birth Of A Prince and Digital Bullet LPs. His debut album, produced entirely by the Wu-Elements and featuring several Clan members, has been delayed numerous times, but was released in early 2007. The album took six years to finish.
