Inspectah Deck Uncontrolled Substance CD

UNCONTROLLED SUBSTANCE is the debut album from Inspectah Deck (a.k.a. the Rebel INS), a featured member of hip-hop's ruling class, the Wu-Tang Clan. The CD is packed with guest spots from fellow Wu affiliates La the Dark Man, U-God, Streetlife, Masta Killa, and others.

This is the kind of hip-hop album that's immediately satisfying. Inspectah Deck produced a number of the tracks here, including "Elevation," "Word on the Street," and "Femme Fatale." There is a killer posse cut called "9th Chamber," which features La the Dark Man, Baretta 9, Killa Sin, and Streetlife. Other producers who lend a hand on UNCONTROLLED SUBSTANCE are Pete Rock, the RZA, True Master, V.I.C., and 4th Disciple.
