Old-school lover man, kung fu master, comix book superhero. The rapper known as Ghostface Killah (and Tony Starks and Ironman and Ghostdini and Pretty Toney) has adopted a million different guises since emerging from the mean streets of Staten Island with the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan in the early 1990s. His latest persona: hyper-productive manufacturer of rhymes. Counting his work with his Wu-Tang counterparts, Ghost has released eight full-length LPs since 2006. Now rumor has it that we’ll soon see two more long-awaited releases: Supreme Clientele II, the follow-up to his landmark 2000 album, and Swift and Changeable, his collaboration with fellow rap weirdo Doom. For someone named Ghost, this guy keeps himself pretty damn visible.
