Everything started when RZA and his two cousins Ol' Dirty and GZA started the group 'All in Together now'. All in together now is unknown to most of us but other members of the clan claims that if the group would have continued with their shit they would have been the dopest group ever. RZA's first single was released on a EP and it was called 'Ooh We Love You Rakeem' and at that time RZA was known as Prince Rakeem.
Rza got a hand on almost every of the Wu's solo albums, and now I'm talking producing (even if he guests with his rap on almost every album). He has also produced music for his ex. group gravediggaz and lots of other "Wu-Fam albums". It was RZA who produced the three Wu-Tang albums: 'Enter the Wu-Tang(36 chambers)', 'Wu-Tang Forever' and 'The W'.
RZA has 9 sisters and brothers and one of them, sofia, has started a manicure shop in staten island next to the wu-wear store and it's called 'Wu-Nails'.
RZA has dropped his own solo album's called 'Bobby Digital in Stereo' and 'Digital Bullet'. They were not like every body expected, It's a little different, some people like it some don't and from U-God's words: 'Niggaz aren't ready for that shit yet'...

Raekwon was born and raised in Park Hillz, Staten Island(shaolin). He is one of the sharpest rappers of the Wu-Tang and he's cooking togehter the most coolest shit, that's why his other name The Chef. It was raekwon who came up with the slang for money; C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me).
Raekwon debuted like most of the clan members on Wu-Tang´s first album 'Enter the Wu-Tang(36 chambers). On the album 'Wu-Tang Forever' he can be heard on almost every track. He has appeared on all his fellow members solo albums except Inspectah Deck's 'Uncontrolled Substance' (1999, loud records). His own album 'only built 4 cuban linx' was released in 1995 guest starring Ghostface Killah. All the clan members except U-God appeared on that album, there were also appearences by Wu-Fam artists like 60 second assassin, Blue Rasberry and Cappadonna. The album got a lot of attention and Reakwon became one of the most famous Wu-Tang members. Raekwon 2nd Album 'Immobilarity' didn't get as much attention as the first album even though it sold gold (500 000 copies). That album was released under the period when everybody said that the wu were going down and this album didn't make it better.

U-God was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn. U-God, RZA and Raekwon lived in Brownsville when they were young it also happened that they moved to Staten Island(shaolin) together. U-God graduated from school and went to college. After two years in college he went to jail for narcotics possession and firearmz. After 2 years of jail RZA invited him to the group and he appeared on two cuts on their debut album 'Enter The Wu-Tang (36 chambers)'. U-God's 6 year old son should probably be glad of his father for not going in the same direction as he was when he was young.
U-God's debut album 'Redemption' was released in 1999 at Wu-Tang records. This album was one of the albums that didn't get so much attention.

Ghostface Killah was born in Stapleton Projects and raised in Staten Island(shaolin). In the really beginning Ghostface was wearing a mask during they're first photos and videos Ghostface himself says that it was just an image but the romour says that's because he was wanted by the cops.
Ghostface Killah released his debut album 'Ironman' in 1996 produced by the RZA. His track 'All That I Got Is You' is probably his most known track. In the video for that song his son plays ghost as a child. Ghosface appeared on many tracks on Raekwon's album 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' and earned himself his name on the cover.
His Latest Album called 'Supreme Clientele' was like the new Bang for Wu-Tang, Ithink almost every Wu head feels that this album is a new classic.

Even before Inspectah Deck started rapping he and Ghostface used to paint a lot of graffiti, inspectah deck's tag was INS and thereby his other name Rebel INS, according to ghostface INS was a really good painter. It wasn't until he went to high school he started rhyming.
Inspectah Deck's debut album 'Uncontrolled Substance' was released 1999 on Loud records. Before this album was released the rumour said that that this album will have the same sound as '36 chambers' but when it dropped we all realized that it was just a rumour.
Inspectah Deck is also a very promising producer, he has produced tracks like 'visionz' from the 'Wu-Tang forever' album and 'Let Me at Them' from 'Tales From The Hood' soundtrack and ofcourse some tracks from his own album.

As you know, not much is known about Masta Killa because he is a bit of the quiet type, when they are on concerts he almost doesn't speak at all. Masta Killa has showed us his talent on the cut 'Mystery of chessboxin' on 'Enter the Wu-Tang' were he and his smooth talent rhymes cool and phat.
In the really beginning when the first wu demo tape came out, masta killa didn't even know all of the members. When Masta listened to the tape he kind of stuck for it and tried to get in contact with them, Unfortantly at that point he got accused for murder, but got away because they didn't have enough evidence, thereby he got his name Masta Killa.
Masta Killa is now working on his upcomming album.
