== Early life ==
Hawkins was born in [[Brownsville, Brooklyn|Brownsville]], [[Brooklyn]], on November 10, 1970.<ref name=":0" /> He moved to [[Staten Island]] as a youth.<ref name=":0" /> He was originally a beatboxer for [[Cappadonna]], and was friends with future members [[Method Man]], [[Inspectah Deck]] and childhood friend of [[Raekwon]]. Sometime before the members united, U-God was mentored in rap by Cappadonna. He soon became friends with [[RZA]] and [[Ghostface Killah]], and he began rhyming under the alias Golden Arms, based on the Kung-Fu movie ''[[Kid with the Golden Arm]]''. Later on he changed his name to U-God (which is short for his [[Five-Percent Nation]] righteous name "Universal God Allah").<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4GBEARaH30 |title=Rise of a Fallen Soldier – The story of U-God (part1) |publisher=YouTube |access-date=August 19, 2010 |archive-date=May 4, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110504144959/http://www.youtube.com//watch?v=D4GBEARaH30 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://conspiracyworldwide.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-06-20T09_28_59-07_00 |title=PodOmatic &#124; Best Free Podcasts he is u god |publisher=Conspiracyworldwide.podomatic.com |access-date=August 19, 2010 |archive-date=July 22, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100722211450/http://conspiracyworldwide.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-06-20T09_28_59-07_00 |url-status=live }}</ref>
