The best part is, he makes his own beats too!!! And the artwork!! Aesop Rock is the only other artist with this level of skill and creativity. He also does his own beats. After that would be Atmosphere. Then El-P. Deca just released a new album bout a week ago. The entire album, EVERY track, is brilliant.
[Intro: Sample] Every time he opens his mouth, he says 'Oink.'

Brilliant. Found these songs of yours at just the right time (with an accidental search). Your delivery of the awareness you possess is unmatched, beats are groovy to boot. Congratulations on being the most essential artist in this era of my life.
"The pigs of the power structure, are oinking to the people. Get your boot off my neck or I'm gonna try to snatch your leg off." Perfect quote to describe where America is right now. Love all your music
steve mertens is a brilliant light in this world. deca opens the dimensions to be infected with groove and harmony. the 2 of them can change this world if people would open their eyes and ears.
"You can see a word with a darker side Where they harbor lies and they hide all the dark designs. We're led toward our demise, And narcotized by a phantom menace Got a house and a car to drive a new phone and a smart television with a camera in it." -Twas in this very moment my brain had exploded upon my bedroom wall.
Dude. You are at the level of Eyedea. I’ve had your song on repeat for the last year. It means a lot to me that you created this, I deeply appreciate “Mammon’s Mantra.”

As an Aesop Rock, MF DOOM, and Earl Sweatshirt fan; I am ashamed to be this late.
Your art is unlike any other. You create masterpieces one after another.
It’s incredible. Deca is on a whole other level!! No other artists gives me goosebumps as much as him.
We desperately need a Deca & Aesop song!
Carl Jung of Rap.
Writing this on 2 March 2022.....The relevance is astounding
I still can't get over this guy's lyrics. So glad you aren't serving someone else's record label. Shout out to my fav artist!
Right!!!
Pure poetry in motion
"In a pandemic land, show me where th answer is hidden" prophetic af
How are you not bigger
I know, right?
Cause people would rather listen to talentless dickheads like lil pump, standards are low nowadays, this is real rap.
Because there's no money in subverting authority. Big coincidence huh
His music isn't for the masses
Palf. I think it was Deca who said "Real rap lies in the eye of the beholder" its not a fact rather than an opinion
Homeless guy i met today showed me this and Wow
Why Am i just now seeing this amazing music video? AND HOW ARE THERE SO LITTLE VIEWS?!
Deca you are so damn talented. Kind of reminds me of a little Aesop Rock and El-P from Run The Jewels.
Graham Hettinger dude I though the same ! He’s like a mellow version of Aesop rock
A more digestive aesop rock and he is my favorite
This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Puts his words together like a jigsaw, with meaning and impact.
Absolutely incredible!! Much love
Is Intellirap a thing? Well, here it is. There is nothing else like this that I am aware of. This will be a history lesson one day.
jesus christ this is so great
absolutely
I've listened to this so many times, never gets old.
good shit deca much love
Never leaves me unimpressed. Keep doin what you do.
He's got his finger on the trigger of a generation. 😉
This is incredible man. The lyrics, flow and beat are insane.. So underrated
Palf if you like this you should check out Aesop Rock. If I had to suggest a specific song I'd say Klutz, maybe Daylight
The best part is, he makes his own beats too!!! And the artwork!! Aesop Rock is the only other artist with this level of skill and creativity. He also does his own beats.

🔥🔥 saving my life
Oh my God! Sooo Doooope.
I NEED MOOOOORE
Tuc-Town, AZ
Mad underrated, dense lyrics and Vocab. Great beat, abstract. The reasons why I subbed.
Dope everytime
Intro sample is from Eldridge Cleaver performing “Barbecue the Pigs” in Syracuse 1968 for anyone wondering
This dude is hella underrated.
my favorite song rn. fire
OH MY GOD 😮
[Intro: Sample]
Every time he opens his mouth, he says 'Oink.'
And I cannot accept any lie that is so phonetically out of harmony with my ears
The pigs of the power structure, are oinking to the people
Get your boot off my neck or I’m gonna try to snatch your leg off
[Verse 1: Deca]
Lost in the bliss of a lofty wish
A pot to piss, pockets thick
Pop hits for the populace
Pop Cris' to wash the pills down your esophagus
On the eve of the apocalypse
We got megaton bombs, rocket ships
Stop and frisk, and deep-state operatives
I've been waiting for the plot to twist
I'm an optimist, locked in the grips
Of an unseen hand with an axe to grind
A vagabond, far from home
Following the path toward Avalon
When the market thrives and the sharks arrive
To tear apart your hide with sharpened knives
You can see a world with a darker side
Where they harbor lies and the high oligarch resides
We're led towards our demise
Narcotised by Phantom Menace
Got a house and a car to drive
A new phone and a smart television with the camera in it
In a pandemic land of branded image
Show me where the answer is hidden
A cancer is living in the minds of men
We got wolves in the den, and ants in the kitchen
[Chorus]
Far as the eye can see
There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me
Goons with the world in a stranglehold
That want control, their mantra goes
(Money - Lies) Sharpen swords
(Abuse - Power) Guard the doors
(Fire - Bullets) Colonize
(Terror - War) Call it yours
Far as the eye can see
There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me
Goons with the world in a stranglehold
That want control, their mantra goes
(Money - Lies) Sharpen swords
(Abuse - Power) Guard the doors
(Fire - Bullets) Colonize
(Terror - War) Call it yours
[Verse 2]
Broke away from the day to day
To take a walk in the citadel
In the crown of the human shell in a living hell
Where the inner hounds come running
At the sound of the dinner bell
The world outside reflects
Every inner complex in effect below
That we project from the depths of a restless soul
As the pressure grows for the collective whole
I've been in a Heaven on earth
In the soft light of a new dawn
I’ve been in the realm of the son of darkness
Chained to my self-hate when I couldn't move on
We oscillate between opposites
Locked in the grips of a hidden hand
Drawing lines in the sand
Trying to make a stand till the lion lays with the lamb in the confines of a wasteland
When it's eight below and you stroll
Down a vacant road with no place to go
It takes a toll, take it slow
Try to break the mold and find space to grow
To build in the midst of the chaos here
In the belly of the beast where they prey on fear
Where police on the centipede creep in the streets
That'll reach for their piece and (bang)
[Chorus]
Far as the eye can see
There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me
Goons with the world in a stranglehold
That want control, their mantra goes
(Money - Lies) Sharpen swords
(Abuse - Power) Guard the doors
(Fire - Bullets) Colonize
(Terror - War) Call it yours
Far as the eye can see
There's eyes in the sky that are eyeing me
Goons with the world in a stranglehold
That want control, their mantra goes
(Money - Lies) Sharpen swords
(Abuse - Power) Guard the doors
(Fire - Bullets) Colonize
(Terror - War) Call it yours
[Outro: Sample]
If a man has a good hold on life, the hold gets more, more assured and secure as time goes on
That's right, then things should become easier for him
During that period when I analysed my dreams and began to get a glimpse of the pattern of my life
I saw the errors I had made, and assumed full responsibility for everything

Plus he seems to have known there was going to be a pandemic back in 2018!
hows it now?
This is incredible. Can't believe it took me this long to get here.
What in the world... this is insane...
I love this song in particular and I've been on it for like 4 years. I love it.
steve mertens is a brilliant light in this world. deca opens the dimensions to be infected with groove and harmony. the 2 of them can change this world if people would open their eyes and ears.
cosign.
Deca is great. Been into hip hop since 10 years old NWA and deca by far is my favorite.
Deca is the most underrated hip hop artist
"and an smart television with a camera in it" FACTS!
This is so relevant now.. 2020/2021.
this has always been relevant...
Brilliant
you're a real artist 🔥 everything is made with so much effort 🤙🏾
The video and composition is top tier
Nice work. It's nice to hear some depth in hip hop. You're like if Jung and Campbell started rapping haha.
This is a masterpiece
I've been listening to Ase for a decade and a half. How the hell did I just find your music today? Soooo good, *Thankyou* for improving the universe

Deca is an unsung hero of underground hip-hop. Im forever a fan.
Nice beat!
Wow, amazing.
Propaganja 😉

Man that's some depressing lyrics. All aspects and edges of this gem are crisp though, fantastic skill.
Not depressing but rather eye opening imo
Your music just keeps getting better and better.
I have unplugged myself from the American matrix
That beat.... and next level lyrics and flow..... this fucking immense
This song and video are just absolute genius. Every second of the video has such amazing imagery!
Good watch while tripping.

Lyricism in form of truth
Fire 🔥
Deca is hip-hop's best kept secret!
awesome
Dude. You are at the level of Eyedea.
I’ve had your song on repeat for the last year.
It means a lot to me that you created this, I deeply appreciate “Mammon’s Mantra.”
Does anyone feel that since 'The Ocean' Deca has combined multiple themes that reoccur in different parts?
Psychedelics, spirituality, Indian accents, cartoonery, buffoonery, charcuterie, highfalutin Fury in a hurry without worries I know a furry worked that wet into a slurry like a hung jury buried in a curry
Merv Winster huhhh?????? Lmfaooo
@@cpSharkBlast I use the UA-cam comments to ghost write all of decas lyrics. You'll find this on his next album. Currently concocting obnoxious conjurings of calcified creators crushing their cream-of-the-crop creations into quivering leviathans
Supa hot fire
this shit fucking slaps.
Incredible, I wish more people appreciated your work
