Biography

“ Well, I’m Moroccan by origin which makes me an Arab. I am very much in tune with what’s happening in that part of the world. This is where big power games are being played out, given its huge reserves of oil and gas, and it pisses me off when I see how much it hurts the locals. Right now I’m living between London and Marrakech.. I love Marrakech though and I will be moving for good soon. The city is great, nice weather, good food, good people, beautiful culture and beautiful nature so I can’t knock that. ”

Cilvaringz joined the Wu-Tang family in 1999, after spending two years flying back and forth to New York in an effort to meet RZA. He initially made himself known to the group after jumping on stage during a Clan concert in Amsterdam and delivering a freestyle that impressed the group members. He was eventually invited backstage after the show by RZA, but in the end was refused admittance by venue security.

Cilvaringz subsequently put a lot of effort into getting his demo tape heard by RZA, including making several trips to New York and waiting for hours in front of his office. Eventually, with help from RZA's sister Sophia Diggs, the tape finally was heard by RZA himself, who was impressed and signed him to his Wu-Tang International label. His debut album I, produced entirely by himself along with RZA and the Wu-Elements and featuring several Clan members, was released in early 2007 after 6 years of work.

Personal Life

He is the first ever Wu-Tang affilliate to be of Moroccan descent. Early on in his career, he often recieved lukewarm reception and backlash for being an Arab who raps with a similar style to the Clan.

“ My Arab ethnicity was never an issue with the Wu, only with that zionist Remedy. But see, what people should understand is that I am too from Africa, as much as my black brothers and sisters are. Why wouldn’t I be considered an African American if I was a US citizen? Think about that... ”
