Born and raised in Jamaica, Queens' South Side, Mathematics (then known as Supreme Cut Master) began his career in 1987 by djing block parties and throwing his own park jams in Baisley Projects. In the '90s he teamed up with the Wu-Tang Clan and produced tons of projects with several of the Wu-Tang members including classics such as Ghostface's "Cobra Clutch", "Mighty Healthy", "Wu Banga 101", GZA's "Publicity and countless others. All the while, Math was still contributing heavily to other classic Wu records (Supreme Clientele, Beneath the Surface, T-2; Judgement Day, Blackout (Method Man & Redman), yet still remained quiet in the background.

Math released his first solo full length "Love, Hell or Right" independantly in fall of 2003. The record was completely mixed, arranged and produced by Mathematics himself, and went on to scan 30,000 units. Praised by critics, and garnering mention from The Source and XXL, the record showcases most of the original Wu cast (minus ODB, who was incarcerated at the time, and GZA, who was working on his own solo project), as well as gives some spotlight to Queens' new comers Eyes-Low and Buddah Bless.

Now Mathematics is again ready to bless the masses with his next solo record "The Problem". This time out, the entire Wu-Tang Clan makes appearances (including one of the last appearances of the late ODB), as well as Cappadonna, Ali-Vegas, Eyes-Low, Buddah Bless and more.
