Inspectah Deck was born in the Bronx, but moved to Staten Island when he was a child, living in the Park Hill Projects in Clifton, where other members of the future Wu-Tang Clan would live and congregate. He is one of the lesser known Wu-Tangers, but certainly not the least talented. He has been a member since their debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (1993), a project that he worked on after returning from a jail sentence. (It was in prison that Deck earned the nickname “Inspectah” for his silent and observatory manner.) He had a high-profile role in the group’s early work, delivering the opening verses to the classic underground singles Protect Ya Neck and Triumph, as well as a now-famous verse on the equally successful single C.R.E.A.M. and star turns on Bring Da Ruckus, Da Mystery Of Chessboxin and 7th Chamber. He later appeared on Wu-Tang side projects and solo records like GZA’s Liquid Swords and Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, though compared to other members he was relatively quiet during the first round of solo releases. His own debut was originally scheduled for this 1994-1997 period but for undisclosed reasons was held back until after the group’s second album. Nevertheless, in 1995 (1995 in music) Deck released his first solo track (technically credited to the whole Clan), “Let Me at Them”, on the Tales from the Hood soundtrack.
