Path: Ghostface \ Biography \

Ghostface Killah (born Dennis Coles, May 9, 1970) is an MC and member of the hip-hop collective, Wu-Tang Clan. After Wu-Tang Clan achieved breakthrough commercial success in the early 1990s, Ghostface, like his clan-mates, began a solo career, which turned out to be one of the most critically and commercially successful solo careers of the group members. He also frequently goes by the alias of Tony Starks, taken from the real identity of Marvel Comics super hero Iron Man.

Ghostface became well-known for both his uptempo, seemingly indecipherable stream-of-consciousness raps and, later in his career, for his very emotionally charged delivery. His first solo LP was Ironman in 1996, considered by some to be a hip-hop classic, followed by Supreme Clientele in 2000, which was critically acclaimed by both mainstream critics and hip-hop enthusiasts. Ghostface wasted little time in recording his next album, the heavily R&B-influenced Bulletproof Wallets which was released a year after Supreme Clientele. In April of 2004, The Pretty Toney Album was released on Def Jam under the name "Ghostface" (minus the Killah). Ghostface Killah then released Fishscale in March of 2006, which went on to achieve much critical and commercial success. Its follow-up album, More Fish, was released on December 12th, 2006.
