All you might know Inspectah Deck by some of his other names such as: The Rebel INS, Fifth Brother, Rollie Fingers, or by his real name Jason Hunter. He also goes by the street/slang names of 'Your Highness' and 'Sir I'. Rollie fingers is his "Wu Gambino" name and "Fifth Brother" is from the movie, "Hell's Wind Staff." In the movie there is a third and fourth brother, but no fifth. So he takes it upon himself to become that 'new guy' and be what no one ever was. He was born in the Kingburg section of the Bronx, but then later on moved to Staten Island because of his fathers death. Growing up he was a graffiti artist always leaving his mark of "Deck" and "INS". He went to school with other members such as Method Man, Cappadonna, U-God, and Raekwon (people say he was pretty smart and on the honor roll, but he doesn't admit to this). Inspectah Deck is famous for opening up tracks with an amazing verse (Protect Ya Neck, Triumph, For Heavens Sake, The Jump Off…to name a few). From their first album the hit joint he did was 'C.R.E.A.M.', the song from Enter the Wu, toping billboard charts for weeks. He tells how life can be effected by money (how it just rules over everything, even people), and how his own life was. He also did two song for movie soundtrack albums, such as; 'Semi-Automatic: Full Rap Metal Jacket'- from the High School High Soundtrack, and "Let me at them" from the Tales in The Hood Sound Track. Actually you proably wouldn't notice him on the song "Let Me At Them", because even though Deck wrote and produced the song, all of Wu-Tang got credited for it. Or wait!..... how about that noticable verse in 'Protect Ya Neck' or when he killed it with Raekwon, Ghost, and GZA on Guillotine [Swordz]. But he puts it apon himself, and doesn't want all the attention. He has been on other solo album with such members as, Gza, Raekwon, GhostFace Killah, Method Man, U-God and others like Big Punisher,Gang Starr, and KC & Jo Jo. He produced tracks for Wu-Tang Forever, The Swarm. Vol. 1, Raekwon, and Method Man's Tical 2000 Judgement Day and Ghostface’s Sumpreme Clientele. A very good and noteable song he produced was for the Swarm album, a song 'S.O.S.' with Streetlife. Pretty much the term S.O.S.- or Shoot On Site- is a good way to describe how these two made the song to sound like (make it shoot on site). After many push backs, he released his first album in October of 99', which he dedicated to his father, Frank Hunter. A good reason to like him is because of the way he raps. The way he describes what's going on in his songs, is like no other. One example is 'Word On The Street', this tells how he goes though his own problem. Just about every song on the album is about a different problem. I think this is one of the best Wu-Tang Solo artist debuts. Many just have to realize what this album holds, and what he means on this ablum. The title of Uncontrolled Substance, means a force that can't be contained, like himself. It can cause serious side-affects and mess with the brain. The inside album cover also features good shots of "The Uncontrolled Substance". It's like bringing it back to the C.R.E.A.M. days. Or you can relate Uncontrolled Substance to his name Inspectah Deck (read quote below). This guy has many tricks up his sleeve- and will contiune to do em'- but never show what is really done, or the full potential of his tricks. The album uncontrolled substance in my opinon was released about 4 years to late. If INS had released a solo album back when Method Man first did then I’m sure INS would be just as popular as Meth. Deck said his album featured all the underated wu-members that have a lot of talent like Masta Killah, U-God and wu-fam members like La The Darkman, Streetlife, and members of Killarmy. Watch out for more amazing and memorable verses from THE W.
