Cilvaringz is a Dutch rapper, born in Dordrecht. First he did some break dancing shit, then he grabbed the mic. During a Wu-concert he got the opportunity to show his rapping skills. He left a tape with his rhymes, but Wu never listened to it.
The last couple of years he went 4 times to the USA to meet RZA, the Wu member he looks up to. (the name Cilvaringz was taken from RZA's 5 golden rings) But he never met him. He did meet RZA's sister, who eventually called RZA to listen to his demo. RZA listened to half of it, he liked what he heard and contracted Cilvaringz. He was the first European rapper to be signed by Wu-Tang records.

Now, his solo album entitled Deja Wu is coming up, the album that was formerly known as The Killa B-Ching. It is expected to be dropped somewhere 2002. It is produced by the notorious 4th Disciple, RZA, True Master, Mathematics and Moongod Allah. The album is finished for about 99%, so now we gotta wait until some legal matters have been solved and Cilvaringz has found a label to release the album on.

Together with Doc Blake, member of the Most High Brotherz, Cilvaringz forms Duplex, a Dutch rap duo. Both have chosen dutch names for the project: Zilveren Ring (Cilvaringz) and Donnie Bleek (Doc Blake). Originally the project was just for fun and not meant to be an official Moonlight product. But after receiving props from friends and local reputed rappers, the project turned more and more serious. Now, it will be the first product dropping since Ten Tigers of Kwantung.The album will feature all Lin Brotherz, Most High Brotherz and Extince, who is the best known native rapper in Holland.
