With that album, he became an official member of the Wu-Tang Killa Beez, and from there on out, he frequently appeared on Wu records. In 1996, he played a large role on Ghostface Killah's Ironman.
During 1997, his Wu affiliation continued, as he rapped on the Clan's second album, Wu-Tang Forever.
Cappadonna's solo debut, The Pillage, finally appeared in March 1998. Like any Wu project, the record featured RZA as the executive producer and cameos from a number of other Wu members, including Method Man, U-God, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon. As the sixth Wu solo project, the album was an instant success upon its release, debuting at number three on the charts.
A sophomore effort, The Yin and the Yang, followed in early 2001. His third and latest album, The Struggle, was released on Code:Red in 2003.
The MC remained active in the following years releasing mix-CDs, doing tours and joining Ghostface Killah’s Theodore Unit. But his official comeback came at the end of 2007 on the Wu-Tang Clan’s fifth studio album 8 Diagrams. Cappa blessed the opening cut with an extraordinary verse and showed up on two other songs.
Cappadonna inked a deal with new indie label Chambermusik Records/Koch in 2008. Old and new fans have been asking for new Cappadonna ever since and on January 27, 2009, their wait will be over with the release of Slang Prostitution.

Cappadonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You looking real good, you got me in the mood
I'm trying to be nice, not trying to be rude
You could ask anybody, I'm a hell of a dude
But anyway, baby, I love your skirt
We can exchange numbers, that won't hurt
I'm from the hood, but I don't hang around with dirt
You might see me on a Sunday, going to church
[Chorus]
You're the kind of girl, I've been looking for
I don't think I have to look anymore
Walk with me, talk with me
Look baby, all I really see is a queen
Don't walk away from me and be all mean
Like one of those chicks with low self esteem
Too much drama, smoke all that green
I used to be the move, but I'm older now
Attracted to a woman with a certain style
And you look like, something that could meet my Earth
For real though, something tell me this could work
Come on girl
[Chorus]
My love, you're like a dime that I saw in a vision
I stopped you, baby, I'm a good decision
Walk with me, learn how my ways are humble
Anybody mess with you, I'm ready to rumble
I peep love in your aura, mine's a match
A lot of dudes hurt you before, but they ain't Cap
However you lost, love, I'm a bring you back
I'm telling you, Don where the love is that
Walk with me, come on girl
[Chorus]
Walk with me, talk with me
Walk with me, talk with me
Walk with me, talk with me
Walk with me, talk with me
