As an Aesop Rock, MF DOOM, and Earl Sweatshirt fan; I am ashamed to be this late.

[@DJMAERZ]

You made it though so that's all that really matters in the end.

[@no.thx.]

Fr, I know how you feel

[@dingus6520]

some of his stuff gives me DJ premier vibes too. but I agree, as someone who also loves aesop, earl, doom, can't believe i've been sleeping on Deca

[@singularity1676]

Your art is unlike any other. You create masterpieces one after another.

[@nicholasadams2374]

It’s incredible. Deca is on a whole other level!! No other artists gives me goosebumps as much as him.

[@eyedeasneverdie3348]

We desperately need a Deca & Aesop song!

[@H411UCIN093NIC]

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!

[@alikhalil4431]

Right!!!

[@alexavfclineham7301]

Pure poetry in motion

[@DigitalAlchemyst]

"In a pandemic land, show me where th answer is hidden" prophetic af

[@lance324]

Writing this on 2 March 2022.....The relevance is astounding

[@KelOne333]

This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Puts his words together like a jigsaw, with meaning and impact.

[@imacracker515]

This dude is hella underrated.

[@feltongailey8987]

Y'all better get with it. It's almost here.

[@siryeetington8771]

Why Am i just now seeing this amazing music video? AND HOW ARE THERE SO LITTLE VIEWS?!

[@ChrisCouch-vx2te]

What in the world... this is insane...

[@rebekahsandifer1995]

Never leaves me unimpressed. Keep doin what you do. He's got his finger on the trigger of a generation. 😉

[@danielpflug]

Intro sample is from Eldridge Cleaver performing “Barbecue the Pigs” in Syracuse 1968 for anyone wondering

[@keagancollins3243]

Been listening to this song for years and always wondered, thank you!

[@skybowl456]

jesus christ this is so great

[@wohlstanddurchbirnen]

absolutely

[@atombom8214]

Amen

[@rivkahhannah]

Absolutely incredible!! Much love

[@GrahamHettinger]

Deca you are so damn talented. Kind of reminds me of a little Aesop Rock and El-P from Run The Jewels.

[@paulfresh]

Graham Hettinger dude I though the same ! He’s like a mellow version of Aesop rock

[@johnbutler7567]

A more digestive aesop rock and he is my favorite

[@TrustTheShooters]

Mad underrated, dense lyrics and Vocab. Great beat, abstract. The reasons why I subbed.

[@TrustTheShooters]

Dope everytime

[@6lu5ky86]

I've listened to this so many times, never gets old.

[@katelinmccoy3828]

🔥🔥 saving my life

[@skenghiskhan8289]

This is incredible man. The lyrics, flow and beat are insane.. So underrated

[@izaaklane8028]

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

[@nicholasadams2374]

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.

[@umeuwe]

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.

[@explosiveshrapnel]

Absolute fire as always, gorgeous work.

[@teedub1546]

Oh my God! Sooo Doooope. I NEED MOOOOORE Tuc-Town, AZ

Praise Jesus, this is amazing work.

[@nutchunder]

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

[@Barncore]

[@ConstanceWhenever]

Nice work. It's nice to hear some depth in hip hop. You're like if Jung and Campbell started rapping haha.

[@meredithkirby3057]

Your music just keeps getting better and better.

[@dubbsmt6128]

Broooooo much love. Sorry for sleepin on you so long. I am glad I found out about you.

[@grahmdionable]

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.

[@DataPunkStudios]

[@nickmarlowe1566]

"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

[@ToriKo_]

[@cameronm5597]

That beat.... and next level lyrics and flow..... this fucking immense

[@xAllCatsAreBeautiful1312x]

I discovered your music completely by accident but I'm so glad I did because it is the best conscious hip hop I've ever heard. I appreciate the anarchist based philosophies you speak of and in your music and I especially appreciate your speaking of addiction to that *one* substance that takes you to places you'd never imagine finding yourself in and the perspective and wisdom it gives to those who survive it. You're the best!

[@chaosinorderrr]

Deca is hip-hop's best kept secret!

[@MajesticCatfish]

Another work of art

[@angeloboelijn5801]

Dope lyrcs

[@MullacAbu1]

[@ImKayotic]

[@JJfishYo]

"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.

[@NeahSheMaeve]

started singing this word for word again when i woke up. its sooo good. my lord.

[@djbeyond3779]

Love this as first heard it

[@THR33-]

wow this is amazing

[@dustinwilley2964]

Thank you brother. Truth has a tendency to be rejected socially by design. Please dont stop making music. Please dont stop your art.

[@lolzorsPwnage]

How are you not bigger

[@meredithkirby3057]

I know, right?

[@skenghiskhan8289]

Cause people would rather listen to talentless dickheads like lil pump, standards are low nowadays, this is real rap.

[@commentingaccount1383]

Because there's no money in subverting authority. Big coincidence huh

[@iantaylor95]

His music isn't for the masses

[@adamfabino46]

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

[@theakhoury2489]

epic work.

[@icanbenchmorethanyou429]

Really great stuff man! Master lyricist!
