He has been with the group since its inception, and has been known for coming with strong verses on Clan albums as well as other members solo albums.

U-God was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. However he moved to Staten Island, New York as a youth. He was originally a beatboxer for clan affiliate Cappadonna, as well as being well known friends with future members Method Man, Inspectah Deck, and Raekwon. Sometime before the members united, U-God was mentored in rap by Cappadonna. He soon became friends with RZA and Ghostface Killah, and he began rhyming under the alias Golden Arms, based on the kung-fu movie The Kid with The Golden Arms. Later on narcotics possession prevented him from featuring heavily on the group's debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), his input on the seminal LP consisting of only a short bridge on the group's debut single "Protect Ya Neck" in 1992 as well as the famous opening verse of "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'". Nevertheless, after his release he quickly became known to fans for his rugged flow and bass-like voice on Wu tracks such as "Winter Warz", "Knuckleheadz", "Investigative Reports", and "Black Jesus". He was featured heavily on the group's second album Wu-Tang Forever on which he was one of only four of the group to get a solo track - "Black Shampoo" (While the others being Inspectah Deck with "The City", Ol' Dirty Bastard with "Dog Shit" and RZA with "Sunshower"; clan affiliate and singer Tekitha sang 'Second Coming' solo). Around this time his young son was accidentally shot and injured, an ordeal the rapper documented on the Wu-Tang Clan track "A Better Tomorrow". He appeared with all the clan members during the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, as well as on tour for the release of Wu Tang Clan's latest album, 8 Diagrams. U-God released his third studio album Dopium in 2009 and touring around the globe in support of 8 Diagrams. He released his fourth studio album Keynote Speaker in 2013.

Vortex of My Mind
U-God Lyrics

Aye Ross, sauce it up
Jkei really
You clearing dates all off your schedule
Anytime you wanted
I could give you something special
But girl you gotta want it
I don't mean to be rude
And I ain't tryna intrude
But bae I gotta lot to offer
You should lemme show you

Can't get you off my mind
Yeah I'm thinking of you
I'm talkin all the time
Midnight morning and noon
I'm tryna find myself
But I'm losing it all
For you, for you
I said I'm losing it all
Tryna track down my emotions
I pick up when you call
Cuz you're my moonlight by the ocean
And I just don't wanna fall
In love again
But when I just see your smile
All the dark thoughts yeah I'm over it
Cuz you done made me complete
Feel like I'm finally free
But baby without you, there simply wouldn't be me
I'm doing everything and anything to keep you close
And yeah I wanna keep you cuz right now I need you the most
You clearing dates all off your schedule
Anytime you wanted
I could give you something special
But girl you gotta want it
I don't mean to be rude
And I ain't tryna intrude
But bae I gotta lot to offer
You should lemme show you
Can't get you off my mind
Yeah I'm thinking of you
I'm talkin all the time
Midnight morning and noon
I'm tryna find myself
But I'm losing it all
For you, for you
Can't get you off my mind
Yeah I'm thinking of you
I'm talkin all the time
Midnight morning and noon
I'm tryna find myself
But I'm losing it all
For you, for you
Oh for you
I'd risk my life and limb
I'd ride or die
Baby I'm talkin thick and thin
I don't need to pretend
Cuz true love it don't ever end
And if it ain't then I think I won't ever ever love again
You clearing dates all off your schedule
Anytime you wanted
I could give you something special
But girl you gotta want it
I don't mean to be rude
And I ain't tryna intrude
But bae I gotta lot to offer
You should lemme show you
Can't get you off my mind
Yeah I'm thinking of you
I'm talkin all the time
Midnight morning and noon
I'm tryna find myself
But I'm losing it all
For you, for you
