Inspectah Deck (born Jason Hunter July 6, 1970 in the Bronx, New York) is an African American rapper, producer and member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Though he has not achieved the same levels of success in his solo career as some of his fellow Clansmen, he has been a mainstay of the group ever since its debut album.

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, though 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. 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. 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.
