ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Ol' Dirty Bastard

Ol' Dirty Bastard was a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan whose performances moved freely between rapping and singing. His loose, associative delivery gave him a distinctive role within the group's ensemble sound and carried into a separate solo career. Recordings including Brooklyn Zoo, Shimmy Shimmy Ya and Got Your Money with Kelis demonstrate the range of his highly individual vocal presence.
