Description:With other members of the Wu-Tang Clan--Method Man, Raekwon, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah and RZA--having already stepped out from under the Clan's hugely successful shadow to score major solo hits, it was only a matter of time before U-God came forward to claim his piece of the solo action.

And as well respected as his lyrical flows on the Clan's tunes are, few could have guessed just what an awesome debut it would be. U-God, aka Golden Arms, has taken his time, left other Wu-members to build the hype and spent a year putting together some seriously arresting cuts. Together with the Clan's production supremo, RZA, he's concocted a funk-fuelled catalogue of up-lifting bass rumbles, tight and oppressive drum loops, 1970s horn samples and dark cop-show grooves to run against his raw, uncompromising rhymes. His choice of backing for "Soul Dazzle" and "Shell Shock" might be chilled and laid back, but his lyrical assaults are anything but. Golden Arms Redemption is U-God's chance to show the world that he's more than just another rapper from the Clan, and with a truck load of eloquent rhymes, flawless tunes and the occasional harrowing tension builder ("Glide" and "Lay Down", in both atmosphere and content, are just frightening), he's done exactly that. --Dan Gennoe...
