𝕍 𝕚 𝕣 𝕘 𝕠 ♕ 𝕍 𝕒 𝕟 𝕕 𝕒 𝕝 Every single time I'm like, "He can't possibly get better than the last album." Every single time, I'm dead wrong. Super surprised to see that it was mastered right up Wadsworth from my old spot in Lakewood.

vikjha I knew I'd love this album so I bought it before I listened to it. Turns out I was right ✅️ Deca continues to set the bar with his bars, continues to produce sonically-beautiful compositions, and continues to challenge the listener to rewind and interpret his rhymes to their homies. Best part of Deca is I can play his music in front of anyone, young or old, without the need to censor anything. Inspiring, universal content. Dope hip hop. Best album of his young career! Favorite track: Flight Path (feat. Ichiban, DJ AWHAT!).

Saul Karnovsky Deca is such a singular artist in the hip hop world. His insight into the human condition, spirituality and social/political awareness inflects every rhyme. The production perfectly matches each track, with groovy sample based loops and masterful cut ups. This is another beautiful and complex release from a truly gifted creator. Much peace & love from way out in Western Australia! Can’t wait for my blue vinyl to land 🙏 Favorite track: St. America (feat. DJ Stan Solo).

about

Deca’s streak of entrancing releases continues with Smoking Gun, an album that deftly blends psychedelic, raw production with sharp insights and clever lyricism. But it’s also much more than that. Smoking Gun is a sonic representation of an artist grappling with living in America, a country with a network of broken systems that leaves Deca questioning when and if it may turn around. The 12 track LP which marks Deca’s tenth album, has arrived for stream and download with vinyl pre-orders available now in both a 180g classic black, and cobalt blue configuration, via Coalmine Records. Expected ship out dates for vinyl is set for the week of Nov. 07. Customers will be notified if any delays are expected.

there's something extra special about rapping on your own beats. in the much abbreviated tradition of Diamond D, Buck 65, El-Producto, Evidence, Blueprint, and Edan The Humble Magnificent, and the man with the lexicon that was born on the island of long and can still do no wrong, Aes Rizzle! JML

I don't love this lp. homeboy sandman and r.a.p. ferreira would run 5 mns at least. good fucking god that's obnoxious. Homeboy Sandman is a peddler of Christian evangelical tropes too, making him a total bore. like who fucking needs joel osteen on the mic. evangelical christians in the u.s. are simply obnoxious fuckers, Jeremy Leaming
