“This body of work is a culmination of a vision I had 16 years ago,” iNTeLL tells HipHopDX. “The world embraced us and supported us through the pandemic, which we greatly appreciate. One year after our debut single, we give you our debut album
Hereditary, something I’m very proud to deliver to the true listeners. Always know we love y’all, keep your ears open for more and Wu-Tang is for the children and the children’s children.”
Serch Says Podcast, Method Man talked about how overlooked Deck often is, saying, “To me, Inspectah Deck is one of the most underrated MCs of all time.

And while the choices below are not as fresh as they once were, they each retain potency a full 15 years on from their first release.
