Deca is a genius, both musically and artistically. Hugely under received....share his music!

This dude has something hip hop has been missing. Much, much respect. I can't stop listening to "Salome".

Still listening 6 years later

Dont need deca to be mainstream. I like getting his content just like this. With a community who appreciates his stuff and others like it.

Deca has to be one of the most slept on, underrated, and underappreciated artists around. Please share this music with everybody you know.

This is the dopest, most original take on hip hop I've heard in a long time. Love it

Now this is how Hip Hop should be, just beautiful poetry set to music. Well done.

This is a gold nugget in the modern era of rap

dreams crack and fade into memory

deca, aesop rock collab would make the world explode

Why isn't Deca famous?

I'm listening to this while I'm smoking with my friends, and I'm understanding every bit of what this man is saying.

This guy so underrated, hit like if u agree

glad i stumbled accross this dude hes DOPE!

Language is power. Only stumbled across Deca now in 2018.

Discovered this dude at work when the song “breadcrumbs” came on, glad I looked him up! Good shit

I first watched this wayback 2014 and I'm still here

The video is beautiful

Honestly one of my favourite things

I saw this a couple years back, and the beat still haunts me to this day. It's an intensely memorable song that is underrated and slept on. I wish that there was something more I could do than like and share this so that he can get the proper attention he deserves.

you don't wanna be famous, you wanna be infamous..

This is sick.

Seriously one of the best songs I've ever heard in any genre. Severely underrated

I've got all my friends on your music and we are tryna spread it through Pittsburgh. Keep it up man your music is great.

Quality all around.

i know many have said this, but I remember when the ocean first dropped and i was so stoked for a new deca album, then i listened over and over and never stopped since. i saw him live last year, it was the first time i ever lost my shit meeting an idol. he's so far ahead of his time. not one whack verse have i ever heard from this man. one day he'll get his due credit

Dude, mammons mantra got reccomded to me on spotify. I'm so glad they did. You're music is super good and the music videos are enjoyably stylized and I love it. Keep going man

Grossly underrated

Comment as much as you can so that the algorithm picks this up, imagine this dude with a bigger platform ❤‍🔥

Such A sick style

Over 100k views. It's been four long years but I'm glad to see Deca finally getting a little more play.

Can't stop listen this shittt

Deca is the Illest....straight up....on production, on lyricism....OG

Amazing.

Love this song so much. Deca and many others are ridiculously underrated.

Now this is the breath of fresh air I have been looking for.

Mountain Dew brought me here. And it's the only thing Mountain Dew has ever been good for.

YES

Wonderful!

So much love. I float your name to everyone I can think of who would appreciate your music. Truly special.

so many aspects I love about your music I can't even put it all in words. Just what hip hop needs.

love deca

coming from one of the most inspirational writers / rappers / people ever!

I cant stop listening to this.

Intro: voice samples]
One by one the angels fell
God had sent a horrible plague of deaths
Why do you think that God would do a thing like that?
Deca presents a new world of sound

[Verse 1: Deca]
Back chasing dreams here we go again
Run 'em down with bloodhounds and dobermans
I'm at the mercy of the blowin' wind
It's all open ended like
Everything in life 'till your soul ascends
From madmartigen
To sad harlequin
To black hearted kin
Flashbacks bar to Kim's
Cardinal sins hypodermics in the garbage bin
Marked men follow when the saints go marching in
Dreams crack then fade into memory
My Pops said that we share the same brain chemistry
That's where I got my appetite for self destruction
I need balance I need help adjusting
But one day I'll awaken in a state of grace
Quit making the same mistake
Of abating the pains and aches
Maintain a creative space
Get loose with the papermate
I've been waiting for day to break
The future is taking shape
 Hook: voice samples]
Remember that language is power
I will, I will. I'll remember that
Lone steppenwolf offer no apologies
Until their brains snap open

[Chorus: Deca & voice samples]
God said
We'd be in trouble if we ate that fruit
Nameless soldier
Trying to get over
No peace
Show teeth hold a grudge
Find another soul to judge
No peace only blood
Nameless soldier
Exile driven out
Sinner drifting on a cloud
Wild child in a crowd
No peace
No peace only blood
Don't sleep show me love
Only blood

[Verse 2: Deca]
I chased dragons now I'm chasing the dream
They're both mythic
One's a ball and chain the other's the soul's image
Restrained manacle child so afraid
Like somebody's trying to tear the wings out of my shoulder blades
The whole wide world's obsessed with the Faust legend
You gotta go through hell to get to heaven
Me I know the beast well
He's hiding in the flowers and the details
Enjoys long walks on the beach and collecting seashells
Recording live from the belly of the beached whale
East of eden where the fallen angels and the meek dwell
Where love's the color of blood an pure devotion
And cascades pools on the ground and forms an ocean
Deca the bard the penman, deadpan
Solitary dreamer, watch the vision expand
There's no time for dogma an genuflection
The future is taking shape
Lessons in free expression
 Hook: voice samples]
Remember that language is power
I will, I will. I'll remember that
Where do we come from, who are we
And where are we going
Eternal questions never answered

[Chorus: Deca & voice samples]
God said
We'd be in trouble if we ate that fruit
Nameless soldier
Trying to get over
No peace
Show teeth hold a grudge
Find another soul to judge
No peace only blood
Nameless soldier
Exile driven out
Center drifting on a cloud
Wild child in a crowd
No peace No peace only blood
Don't sleep show me love
Only blood

Thank you Tidal for mixing this joint in with my MF DOOM , reporting live from the belly of a beached whale 🐳

Amazing video. Amazing song. Amazing artist. Can't wait for the next album

Brilliant. Divine and pure, like nothing I’ve heard before.

awesome.

So glad I discovered this dude. Everything he does is fucking amazing

OH MY FUCKIN' AHHHHH, HE'S SO FUCKING GOOD AND UNDERRATED!!!!

Amazing

dudes smooth

I love this, man. Amazing work. Shared.

I used to skateboard through ATL at 3am to Deca back when this was new and I was still a teenager. Real shit

WOW!!

Damn fine song. This is what rap should be.

Mind blowing! Absolutely baffling!! He was introduced to me a couple years back, and instantly shot to the Top of My List. I've appreciated underground hip-hop since the 90's, and then Deca came into my life.

Great production. Feel like I was just shown the hall of records. Ill flow yet talking spiritual

Deca is an absolute genius. Please let us see more of the genius @decamusicvideos

man you're so original please never change this style

yeah Adam is right this guy has got to be one of the best hiphop lyricists I have ever seen and nobody knows who he is. He's like Aesop Rock with combined religion dreams abstract and his own past together in one line.

Yo, this is awsome. Why tf doesn't this have more views?

Such amazing music been listening to them for a while

Such a dope song! Cant wait for the new album

Stop fixating on the fame of an artist you resonate with. You think he wants to taste the temptation of Mammon? Be thankful you've found a gem. Buy his album if you want to contribute. Peace to all.

I watched this with my big bro when I was 3 or 4 can’t believe I still remember that

Fantastic work gentlemen

hi i lost my way on youtube and i got there... worth

Still such an incredible song. Lyrics, beats, real hip hop. Thanks Deca.

Can't get enough of deca!!! Keep on making art man this is hands down the dopest dope I've ever heard....

this has been on repeat!! riding on my headphones through berlin. you have made it to europe already ;D

I love this song it's just great!

This is beautiful

I love the bionic commando arm

Thank you spotify mix of the week with another hidden gem

Probably the best put together song/video, and the best thing I can switch one of decas song and it's just as good, thus shuts been on replay for two weeks now

Realest out!

Its simply beautiful

This joint is crazy

No idea how I found this but fucking glad I did! Deca gives off massive slug vibes and I love it.

I love this song

Remember that language is power. I will, I will remember that. Then proceeds to use language like a double sided lightsaber. I love this man

that's so cool, just discovered you. The illustration reminds me of The Fantastic Planet's, very very good !

I fucking love you!!! Never stop!! You are keeping hip hop alive

I have to hear Deca and Aesop Rock together on 1 track at least before I die..

Great video

You are currently saving my life!

thinking persons hip hop! Spreading it in Australia!

"Marked men follow when the saints go marching in Dreams crack then fade into memory My Pops said that we share the same brain chemistry That's where got my appetite for self destruction I need balance I need help adjustin'" 2023 reminder. 🕉️

This song is pure artistic genious!!

Bro i wanna see deca get famous so bad

FUCK I love this song and now I find the video and love both ever more

very cool

my favorite song ever i share it in france

Question to those to are somewhat educated in literature: do you think Deca is explicitly referring to "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Gilman? About halfway through the song he talks about the beast he "knows well" (possibly talking about his flawed inner self) and how it hides "behind the flowers and the details". I just feel like there's no way he isn't referring to this masterpiece of a short story (from over 120 years ago no less) since they both make a point about how oppressed and depressed the protagonists are in their respective stories. Probably won't get a response but figured I would give it a shot

Crushing!

Good sound to it

I was adamant dude was black haha. Such a slick voice, made for hip hop.
