Rapper and Staten Island native Solomon Childs (born Walbert Ryan Dale in 1975) became
affiliated with the prolific Wu-Tang Clan through his family ties to godbrother Cappadonna
and cousin Ghostface Killah and contributed to various Wu-Tang related releases throughout
the late '90s and early 2000s.
In the early 2000s he was a member of the
Ghostface-affiliated group Theodore Unit, as well as appearing on tracks by other artists and
working on his own releases. Solomon Childs issued a steady string of albums throughout
the 2000s and early 2010s, offering the same kind of frenetic styles and hyper-prolific
creative drive that would be represented by mixtape releases in hip-hop's next generation.
In 2016 he was shot twice in a drive-by shooting while out shopping in Staten Island.
The rapper underwent multiple surgeries but survived the attempt on his life.
He returned in 2017 after the ordeal with Don't Ask Permission, Ask for Forgiveness.
