He made his first appearance on a Wu-Tang Clan album in 1997 on Wu-Tang Forever on the single ' Triumph'. He was also a guest star, along with Raekwon, on Ghostface Killah's solo debut album, Ironman. Ĭappadonna made his recording debut as an affiliate of the Wu-Tang Clan on Raekwon's 1995 single ' Ice Cream' on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. However, Cappadonna went to prison and was replaced in the group by Method Man.
Cappadonna (also known as Cappachino) was known to the future members of the Wu-Tang Clan, and had been U-God's mentor.
