Decypher is a 17 years young aspiring new hip hop, writer, and astounding rap artist with a whole lot of potential. Three weeks into the game, he has an ax to grind and is ready to soak his feet and get them wet in the world of hip hop and underground rap.
Suffering from ADHD and severe anxiety disorder, moreover, having a troubled past and disagreements along with not being able to fInd ‘common ground’ with family, problems with school and run-ins with law enforcement, which would in some cases have a negative effect in the life of those afflicted.
However, in Decyphers case it has given him the positive motivation and drive that it takes to come up with dope rhymes and sick lyrics along with the desire to want to display his creativity constructively. Having an 80’s vibe, the track entitled ‘My Recipe’ is Decyphers first single and its an outstanding start. “Music seems to be the only way to explain myself and to feel heard. I’m definitely going to keep going cause this makes me happy and I seem to be a natural.”
Getting into the game with some fresh ideas and a brand new mindset makes this artist want to share some of his lyrical genius. Everyone is good at something you just have to find that niche. It appears that Decypher has found his. ‘My Recipe’ is well versed and has a format similar to that of old school rap however, there is nothing old school about it. Decyphers deep baritone vocals radiate throughout the track with a continuous flow of steady lyrics.
The instrumentals laid down under the vocals are mellow enough and allow listeners to hear the lyrics as well as enjoy the music. Overall, taking into consideration that Decypher is a new Rap artist and this is his first recording I would have to say well done!
Furthermore, since he is now in the game on a professional level and ready to taking his talent and skills on another level. Look forward to expecting more innovative music from Decypher in the near future.
