Masta Wu
Masta Wu is a hip-hop artist with YG Entertainment
Masta Wu is a solo artist and emcee signed under YG. His path to stardom shares similarities with labelmates Jinusean because he too started off under the guidance of former Deux member Lee Hyun Do aka D.O. Prior to his involvement with YG, he was know as Ginnwon and featured heavily on other hip-hop albums such as the aforementioned D.O.'s album 'Hip-Hop' as well as the now retired artist Digital Masta.
Since signing with YG, Masta Wu released one debut album entitled 'Masta Peace', and has done numerous collaborations with other labelmates, most notably Se7en and Big Mama.
Criticism
Many fans tend to say that along with the transformation of alias from Ginnwon to Masta Wu, and the signing with YG, the emcee has "fell off" and "sold out". While initially being respected as an underground MC, long time fans often claim that Masta Wu has watered down his lyrics and changed his style to better accompany the 'Hip-Pop' or poppish stylings of the YG Entertainment group.
However, despite any negative critical reaction, Masta Wu now finds himself more in the spotlight than he ever was, much in part to the additional exposure signing with YG has gotten him.
