I dunno, maybe his goal here isn't to be famous. He's achieving exactly what he wanted to- to write, express, make music and have it appreciated. Thank you Deca xxxxxxxxxxxx
I subscribe to this idea. I think deca believes he doesn’t need the fame. I won’t claim to know exactly but it’s possible he even thinks that fame is ugly and evil in its own way. I think he truly avoids it. This creating a new aspect of what makes his art so f***ing beautiful!!
@Grizz420twofourseven I met him at a festival a few months ago! When I asked him for advice about writing songs he said " let it be what it is, a cathartic process for you first and foremost."
The difficult questions/content his work wrestles with aren't digestible to a wide mainstream audience. His work flirts with the esoteric and the ambiguous. This guy could probably be famous if he wanted to, but he's probably doing it for more than the fame or money (I honestly don't know him or his work well enough)... sometimes the best way to live is in the middle, between popularity and anonymity.
@Mr. Mister Aesop has done Feutures with more artist, this is what they do, there is no doubt in my mind Aesop and Deca would make a banger, I mean at first sight Slug and Aesop would not match wel either looking only at their solo work, but they got multiple good tracks.
So in love with Deca rn, probably one of the greatest Hip-Hop artists of his time. Popular Hip-Hop (or Pop-Hop as I'd call it) has little variation in the songs themselves, their lyrical themes are repetitive and over used as well as promoting violence, drug usage and the Hood life. Deca on the other hand is very distinct in both his song writing and rapping.
I think about this song a lot lately, and I think that this is my favourite hip hop song of all time. Everything I love about hip hop and music in general is right there, every time i'm listening to this song i'm feeling good, its pure medicine. Thank you
This song remember me the better days (2014) ... i forget the name of this masterpiece and today i found it by coincidence 😅 i just typed "jazz Hip hop", i like this song too much.i didn't remember its name since 10 years till today .Thanks to every connoisseurs🎉 Pardon my English.
I'm so glad my brother found you, ever since he showed me your music I have been jamming to your tunes. Your work is phenomenal on all levels your flow is incredible, your lyrics are absolutely fantastic, your beats are on point and your videos are awesome. Just listened to your entire new album and was blown away and ofc itching for more Deca, so here am yet again relaxing and listening to this masterpiece.
Same... I've countered people saying there is no good music anymore by saying that there is definitely good music, you just haven't found it and probably haven't really tried. It is a trip that I just found this dude though.. he is so God damn good.. I can't think of another rap artist who spits such understandable and poinent lines. It's all laid out in plain English, I can understand most of his tracks on the first listen. On the other side of the spectrum would be Assop Rock, on the 30th listen I still am only teasing a thread out of the shit he weaves. But I love them both in the same way.. its weird
[Vocal Sample] Things are far more serious then I suspect you've been told People are dying up here And that isn't the end Well how did all this happen? We have been completely cut off from Earth Any chance of restoring contact? Very little sir, We've lost all direct communication [Verse 1] I gave em two 16's in a lucid dream With the muses playing theme music on a super string Watch me do my thing when the hypodermic stings I could intervene by turning Mr. Hyde to Mr. Clean From lean mean dope sick fiend to pristine Stick to piff and nicotine, quit menacing the scene get medicine from clinics Say your penance when its finished then its Venice in a vintage rented tinted limousine Big things, big screens with big brother's ugly mug Selling us a pyramid scheme like a f**ing drug And love died with the troubadours, now its all ego driven We're fetal position with the needle dripping A foul ecosystem, keep on living, be persistent In a prison where heaven and hell are equidistant Give em 2 sets Marie Antoinette necks Stakes is High's in the ca**ette deck take it back [Chorus] Everything's sunny, everything's lovely, put me on a pedestal, hold no one above me Everything's pleasant and good, eating breadcrumbs like the little peasant that could Fuel for the furnace combust, learn to adjust, you view the world on the surface with a certain disgust But everything's sunny everything's lovely, put me on a pedestal, hold no one above me [Verse 2] Catch a stone cast at your dome by a Self righteous sinner that would send Gestapo to tap your phone I got the blues, got a lot to lose, got the news so-and-so past Check the database for slideshows and photographs You grow detached from your chosen path lose control and crash on a overpa** Motionless focused inward, with loved ones Howling like a thousand Ginsberg's with pinched nerves Robert Johnson gave me his guitar pick I can play super strings and rap about my hardships You could lie through your teeth and spoon feed em arsenic Who could stoop the lowest who could fall the farthest It began when we took an apple off a tree limb, sweet sin Sustenance to sink teeth in Took a risk and got 86'd for high treason The pivotal moment simple components defy reason [Chorus] Everything's sunny, everything's lovely, put me on a pedestal, hold no one above me Everything's pleasant and good, eating breadcrumbs like the little peasant that could [Vocal Sample] Starvation, humiliation, despair, frustration Every god damn thing For all your ills I give You laughter
Guy, im not even a native english speaker. I speak french, and a caribean dialect called kreyol, i ve learnt english at school. Usually I HATE RAP. But the way you marry jazz and your flow is great.
"it began.. when we took an apple off a tree limb, sweet sin. sustenance to sink teeth it. took a risk and got 86'd for high treason. a pivotal moment, simple components defy reason.." Perfect execution on the song and video. Quit sleepin!
Heard about you from supposedly one of your friends son or nephew (can't remember haha) but im so glad i stumbled upon you. Hope you're keeping up with the good work!!!
