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 Killahβs Theodore Unit. But his official comeback came at the end of 2007 on the Wu-Tang Clanβs 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.
Young Hearts
Cappadonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left me here alone with a shine
Our hearts were strong but I couldn't find
My world alone how could I break my home
Still I doubted you and still your strength
Enchanted me you was the father to my child
And a man to me now I'm sung of strong hearts
Run free run free young hearts
Run free young hearts
[Cappadonna]
Girlfriend, what you did was wrong
Even though the love was strong, you moved on
Never had faith in the Don, you was safe
With the Don, and then you walked out
A broken house, a broken heart
Cry for my dart, we had a plan
We was woman and man, the hourglass
Held the sand, I held you like contraband
But you didn't understand when the four devils
Came inside of your life that night
We argued and fight, you knew it wasn't right
Fucked up our life, my thoughts come stronger
Every ounce, it's not my fault
That you wanted to bounce, now you tellin' me
That you cleaned up your act, beep me every time
But I never call back, that's how I felt
When you was makin' me crack
Me leave wifey for you??
I'm crying
I'm crying
[Chorus]
[Blue Raspberry]
Young hearts, run free
Run free, young hearts
Young hearts, run free
The song "Young Hearts" by Cappadonna featuring Blue Raspberry is a love song about a relationship that fell apart due to the girlfriend's decision to leave the relationship. In the chorus, Blue Raspberry sings about feeling alone after her partner left her with a "shine" (presumably a child). She regrets doubting her partner's strength and acknowledges the strength of their hearts. The chorus repeats the phrase "young hearts run free," which can be interpreted in different ways - as a sign of advice to move on and not dwell on past hurts, or a call to remain fearless and independent.
Cappadonna's verse is an emotional reflection on the relationship from his perspective. He expresses his hurt over the girlfriend's decision to leave him, despite their love and plans for a future together. He blames the "four devils" that entered their lives for causing arguments and stress that led to their breakup. He questions the girlfriend's attempts to win him back, knowing that he cannot leave his wife for her. The verse ends with Cappadonna crying over the loss of the relationship and the emotional strain it put on him.
Overall, "Young Hearts" is a poignant song that captures the complicated emotions of a relationship that ends in heartbreak. The chorus and the title suggest a theme of resilience and hope, despite the pain and loss experienced.

But I never call back, that's how I felt
I still have deep hurt and resentment towards you, and choose not to engage with you
When you was makin' me crack
Your past actions caused me to break and lose faith in us
Me leave wifey for you??
You expect me to leave everything I have invested in my current partner for you?
I'm crying
I am deeply hurt and emotional about our past and current state
Young hearts, run free
An echoing reminder of our youthful and carefree past
Run free, young hearts
An urging to embrace life with passion and nostalgia for the past
Young hearts, run free
A final reminder to cherish the past and move forward, in freedom and youthfulness
