U-godU-God (born Lamont Hawkins aka Golden Arms, Lucky Hands, Baby U, 4-Bar Killer, UGodZ-Illa) is one of the rappers in the Wu-Tang Clan. Though not as well known as RZA, GZA, Method Man or Ol' Dirty Bastard, U-God has been with the group since not long after its inception. He became known to fans for his rugged flow on Wu tracks such as Winter Warz, Knuckleheadz and Black Jesus and featured heavily on the group's second album Wu-Tang Forever. He was the eighth (out of nine) member of the group to record a solo album, releasing Golden Arms Redemption to much critical fanfare in 1999. Around the same time he also made guest appearances on Tommy Lee's Methods Of Mayhem project, and on Cypress Hill's album. After a high-profile disagreement with Wu leader RZA in 2004 over royalties, which included a heated phone conversation on live radio, U-God released a new album under the alias UGODZ-ILLA entitled Ugodz-illa presents the Hillside Scramblers, which featured U-God and his team of Inf Black, Leatha Face, Black Ice and King Just. However U-God and RZA appeared to put aside their differences soon after, and they were soon both together on stage as part of the Clan for their European and American tour during summer 2004.
