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 verse to the classic underground single Protect Ya Neck, 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.
