In August 1995, a few months after Enter the Wu-Tang was certified platinum, "Tony Starks (Ghost Face Killer)" was billed as guest star on Raekwon's RZA-produced Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. On the album's fifth and final single, "Can It Be All So Simple," Ghostface rhymed about his intent to "make more hits with Rae and A," singling out fellow Wu-Tang members Raekwon and the RZA. The rapper born Dennis Coles emerged from his native Staten Island as part of Wu-Tang Clan, who released their first single in 1992 and became one of the strongest hip-hop institutions the following year with Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). These included the two-volume Twelve Reasons to Die (20), Sour Soul (2015), and Czarface Meets Ghostface (2019).

Throughout the following decade, Ghost added to his legacy with a series of creatively unrestricted works, many of which were whole-album collaborations, conceived with the likes of the RZA-inspired Adrian Younge, BadBadNotGood, and Czarface.
After an occasionally commercial early period with Epic that yielded a second classic, Supreme Clientele (2000), Ghost moved to Def Jam, where he released six additional solo LPs highlighted by his fourth Top Ten pop album, Fishscale (2006). His platinum-certified debut strengthened a partnership with the RZA, whose bracing mutations of dusty soul have either soundtracked or influenced much of his best output.
A masterful storyteller whose range extends from graphic crime fantasies to stirring autobiographical recollections, the rapper first appeared with his Staten Island group's trail-blazing Enter the Wu-Tang (1993) and started building a vast solo discography with Ironman (1996). Here, the Wu-Tang W is somewhat offensively mashed up with everyone’s favorite yuppy supermarket chain.Whether judged strictly by his work with Wu-Tang Clan or as a solo artist, Ghostface Killah is an indisputable giant.

The exquisite food artwork below is a testament to just how much Wu-Tang is loved and admired in both the food and art worlds. Wu-Tang food art is especially appropriate because more than one of the group’s members are conscious about what they eat: Raekwon “the Chef” has always been associated with his cooking prowess, while GZA is a follower of the raw food-movement and has convinced other Wu members to adopt vegetarianism. In fact, admirers of the Wu often express their love by fashioning items of food in the shape of the group’s iconic W logo. With the release of Wu-Tang Clan’s single-copy, incredibly-expensive album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin earlier this year, it’s clear that the legendary rap crew has no fears of losing its cultish fan base.
