Decay brings credible experience and an established catalog to the veteran hip-hop collective, the Molemen. Currently residing on the Northside, but formerly staying on both the South and the West sides of Chicago; Decay can truly claim the title “All-City Emcee”.
Having been exposed to the eclectic styles and genres found embedded in the various neighborhoods that he lived in as a youth, Decay was also fortunate enough to be exposed to reggae & soul music from his mother, which allowed him a broader view of music and instilled an eclectic taste.
Growing up immersing himself in the wordplay of emcees on all sides of the lyrical spectrum, from Too Short to Public Enemy, Decay brings with him the raw sound and the boom-bap essence of that era.
Rhyming seriously since 2001, Decay joins the Moles after already having two releases to his credit. Decay represents a long legacy of Chicago emcees who balance gritty, reality lyricism with enough elements of humor and punchlines to not be written off as preachy or alienating. He was able to find that balance after realizing that although “In Retrospect”, his first solo album, had powerful lyricism and solid pro-black anthems, it may have been a little too militant for the average listener. His second release, “Fluent & Decay are City Slick: The Antique Black”, kept the strong messages of black empowerment and the urban struggle intact, but it was delivered in a slightly more subtle way supplemented with witty humor that didn’t overwhelm the average hip hop fan. Decay feels that his music is a much needed counterbalance to what he views as an overabundance of one type of rap flooding the market. And although he sees value in some of the modern mainstream rap, he feels like there isn’t enough of a contrasting message present. Decay is striving to be an agent that will bring some much-needed reality back to the rap industry.
Decay, along with colleagues Scheme and Astonish, recently unleashed “The Biz” Mole Mixtape, which is his first Molemen release. Not wasting any time, Decay is working hard to release his first Mole LP, currently untitled. Look for production by the Moles, as well as the heavy presence of his Green Llama crew. The new LP is tentatively slated to be released in second quarter 2008.
