[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life

Inspectah Deck was born in the Bronx, but moved to Staten Island as a child, living in the Park Hill Projects in Clifton, where other members of the future Wu-Tang Clan would live and congregate. He also did one of the most stunning and philosophized verse's in the history of rap music on the track 'C.R.E.A.M' featuring Raekwon.

[edit] Later career

In late 2004, rumors (originating on his official website, which is no longer up^{[citation needed]}) began to spring up, alleging that INS had an album in the works with DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill. Those rumors were short-lived and this project seems to have been shelved; it is likely that this idea became the Grandmasters collaboration between GZA and Muggs.

In 2006 Hunter was permitted to plead no contest to second degree aggravated assault and served 36 days in jail^{[citation needed]}. Upon his release he announced he was writing two screenplays. INS is currently involved in real estate and is said to have owned large amounts of high-end property that he then sold in the late 90's and early 2000's.
