It was revealed this week that Traffic Entertainment will be releasing The Manifesto, a new album from acclaimed Wu-Tang lyricist and budding producer Inspectah Deck. The album will be Deck’s first since 2008, and arguably his first majorly-distributed work in over seven years. The Park Hill emcee’s 1999 debut Uncontrolled Substance was a gold-selling album for the then Loud/Relativity Records artist.
Last year, Deck returned to the spotlight in a publicized feud with Joe Budden, over a dispute over the Wu-Tang Clan’s legacy. Deck also executive produced Fes Taylor’s Flight 10304. On The Manifesto, w, Planet Asia, Billy Danze, Kurupt and Cormega appear.

Little Brother’s last album drops 4/20,
Nas/Damian Distant Relatives drops 4/20
Reflection Eternal drops 4/6
Rae/Ghost/Meth album drops 3/9
Wow, that’s some good shit right there… Finally, this site advertizes some real Hip-Hop!!
great albums coming up, finally real hip hop !!
and is it just me or does anyone else think of how genius it was for nas and damien to drop on 4/20?
yea 4/20 is no coincidence
Not gonna start spinning nickles
off my forehead but…I was waiting for this. Deck=most improved wu member. Bar none.
You could sit and argue all day about who the dopest out of WU is…..Deck is certainly in that discussion. Nasty.
WORD.
yes finally..been waiting for this. Pz.
WTF? Inspectah dropping the same Day as Meth,Rae and Ghost ???
I heard this is gonna be decks final solo album but i cant wait to cop it
Deck always had dope lyrics, less than stellar solo ventures. Hope this changes that perception
real talk deck was bringin heat on OB4CL2 hes defiantly on point so it would only be right and go cop the album for my Shaolin brother. decks verse on black mozart was actually my favorite on the whole album he brings alot of energy hopefully if he got his head on right he can make a classic of his own.
This shit gonna be off the hook, nigga!!
never liked hardly any of his solo records……..but
his guest appearences are ridic
Deck has had some extremely ill verses over the years: “Above the Clouds”, “Protect ya neck”, “C.R.E.A.M”, “Cold World”, and the best verse on “Triumph” immediately come to mind. Hope he stays on that high level lyrical shit for the new joint.
I produced a track (still unreleased) where Snoop Dogg collaborates and I got Inspectah Deck on that track to spit a verse too…only thing I can say is that his verse is really ILL…so stay alert with this new album!
ive always like deck thought he was one of the elite lyrcist out of the wu i just hope he has good production with the beats would love to here him over a primo beat !
Gang Starr’s “Above the Clouds”.
shiiiit, you know the Rebel INS will come correct on this. hopefully the beats are a lot better than on his last couple of albums lol
production better be ill or it will flop like his last three joints love deck though
uncontrolled substance was a dope album
i still have uncontrolled substcance on tape haha. check this amazing Beatles Vs Wu Tang album. it streams off the page. Forgot who made it but its so ill
