Snakes and Birds

jpowell736 Checked out Deca's work after hearing his brilliant production work with Homeboy Sandman. Now I'm hooked and really digging into his back catalog. This album is my favorite. His arrangements, rapping flow and cerebral lyricism - all brilliant. Really underrated musician! Favorite track: High Wire Ft. GODBY.

michaelsee I think I like this one better than The Ocean. Brilliant album!

gabe_lincoln_exe DECA is one of the best in the rap game. His tone and candor are uniquely his and he's not afraid to show that he has real skills. Clay Pigeons is always a trip to listen to. DECA always makes his rhymes allude to a rich pool of religious, political, and esoteric symbolism. The more you listen to the album, the more it reveals itself to you. this LITERALLY is an album that only gets better the more you listen to it. DECA is at the top of the game. Favorite track: Clay Pigeons.

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

i don't think it's possible to select a favorite track from this record, so many of them affect me so strongly and in such different ways. the thing they all share, though, is this piercing reflective thoughtfulness. if the closest i can get to understanding truth is just listening to R.A.P. search for it in his own life, i think i'd be ok with that Naomi Alterman
