LX Keem – Catch Me If You Can Remix

deciphermusic — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 03:27:59 +0000

This joint goes so hard! LX brought us the Ailee remix of this a few months back but after I released The Sound Effect the homie did his thing again including my verse and put ill visuals to it. The visuals is actually my favorite part about this. The ending is dope too. You killed it LX!

Decipher feat. Dumbfoundead & Jay Park x Epik High feat. Yankie – I’m Ready x The Future Mash Up

deciphermusic — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 23:36:02 +0000

I’ve been receiving some ill tracks and mash ups ever since I dropped The Sound Effect. I just recently got this one so I thought I’d drop it for Music Monday. SJ dropped this off in my inbox. He mashed up the track I’m Ready off of my album The Effect and put my verse along with DFD’s and Jay’s on Epik High’s track The Future. The finished product is pretty ill but check it out for yourself.

The Sound Effect (The Effect Acapellas)

deciphermusic — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 18:22:55 +0000

First and foremost, I would like to thank each and every one of you that have supported my latest album The Effect. It is by far my proudest piece of work to date and I’ve been receiving great feedback and that has been fueling my fire since.

Now, what I did here is a little project I have titled The Sound Effect. It’s a little bit of appreciation for the DJs and producers that really fuck with me. It’s the entire acapella sessions for The Effect. The general public won’t care about this but DJs will be able to create mash ups with whatever verses they want and producers can show me what they got with putting new twists on these songs.

I’m very excited myself to see what kind of remixes will come from this. If you create something dope with these acapellas email a link to info@muzoent.com and who knows what may come of it?

Verseatile feat. Decipher – You Can Bring It

deciphermusic — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 05:10:19 +0000

This song was released a few months back when Verse dropped his World Apart EP. He put out a video that didn’t have either of us in it because that’d what made sense at the time considering we were on opposite coasts and couldn’t put together a video that did the song justice. Well, a few weeks ago I was in LA and we decided we needed to put the right visuals together for this track. The rest is history. Let me know what yall think!

Bart Kwan feat. IZ, Alyssa Marie, & Decipher – Villian

deciphermusic — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 00:41:25 +0000

You might know Bart Kwan from his videos on Youtube as Unco Same or Park Yoo but the comedian is dipping his feet into this rap thing. The big homie IZ reached out to do a song and it ended up being this joint. When I got the mixed down track a few weeks ago there was a surprise on there. To be honest I haven’t heard of Alyssa Marie before this but YO, she went all the way in. Pause. Some serious lyrics in this jaun. Let me know what you think.

Manifest x Jin x JL x Lyricks – It Was Written + Pull Haul Junkies Mixtape

deciphermusic — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:49:40 +0000

“It Was Written” is the first release from the Mani x JL collaboration mixtape Pull Haul Junkies. The Damian Marley sample on the hook is so mean and fits the beat very well. Each emcee tears this thing apart. They got the legend, Jin, to bless the track and that’s definitely a good look. Lyricks anchors the track with some mean truth in his 16. Definitely check this joint out and overdose on that replay.

Pull Haul Junkies is also now available right here. Download the entire mixtape for FREE.

Johnnyphlo will be rocking the stage that night with me as well as many more talented open micers. Come by and show your support! Click the flyer for more details.

Decipher – Smile While I Bleed

deciphermusic — Thu, 19 May 2011 19:58:41 +0000

When I heard Kanye West’s track “Devil in a New Dress” I was so inspired by the B!nks produced track. The Smokey Robinson sample cries the words “Don’t have to say a word” and that really spoke to me. I’m a friendly person but I don’t talk about my struggles with even my best friends because if I hate anything in this world it’s pity. Music gives me an outlet to talk about my pain.

I titled the song “Smile While I Bleed” because even when I feel tortured I clench my teeth and put on a cool face. This track is to let you know sometimes I’m bleeding. This was a very personal song for me so I directed and edited the video myself. Yongie Phresh, JP Lee, and Kenni Phong helped with the camera work. The video was shot completely in Philadelphia, naturally.

My favorite part of the song may be the end of the track where one of my favorite artists Jason Min added electric guitar cries. I wanted to incorporate his talent because my pride won’t let me cry but I wanted that guitar to cry for me.This one was really for me, but let me know what you think. Free download here.

Lyrics after the jump.

Lord, forgive me, I have sinned, and I will again
see the smoke rise, it’s spinning in the ceiling fan
it remind me of the way that I hate standing still
plan to build but the land I chill in quicksand, for real
Philly got this chilly feeling that really haunts us
even when we turn our back we feel it still inside us
some of us feel kill or be killed is still the mindset
now we all dead, pictures on window sills remind us
heard the good die young, thought it was really nonsense
but here I am, breathing with a guilty conscience
like what did they do? it should’ve been me
God put up a tree, any one of us would’ve been Eve
I visit my Mama grave and I sing to her over instruments
bring flowers, they beautiful but die, no coincidence
Daddy left, I never knew or saw him eye to eye
thought it’s what I had to do, so I would try to cry
sometimes I think it’s you that I see riding by
lying to myself, I had to Google how to tie a tie
that’s some shit that a man is supposed to teach a man
did it by myself, cried for help but couldn’t reach his hand
never learned Korean, I can’t even speak to fam
Johnnie Walker giving me the spirit when the preacher can’t
not that he can’t, but I don’t want to listen
Jesus comin back? What if I no longer miss him
heart turned cold from people walking out that door
now I got it locked, nobody walking in or out no more
it’s about to pour, I seen these kind of clouds before
made it out that storm, now I roll my windows down for more
I know the struggle, the hustle, ducking police, I do
talk in code on the phone so the cops would be confused
wonder when my life will change, it still hasn’t
14 karat gold, white tee, bumping Illmatic
my mother fucking main man a pill addict
popping Oxycontins to Suboxones and he still at it
miss you my brother, but I can only do so much
but keep it real, I still don’t trust the people you don’t trust
I look in the mirror, even I can tell I turned
into a stronger man, I guess that all the stress was well deserved
learned to live, love, laugh, and keep a L to burn
smile while I bleed, they could never tell it hurts.

Peter Choi – Try Me Out Dance Video

deciphermusic — Wed, 18 May 2011 19:17:05 +0000

The homie Peter Choi choreographed some splash to Neyo’s joint Try Me Out. Peter is really about this dance shit. We call him “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” around my way because he’s always dancing and that’s wsup. When you’re passionate as he is about what you do you wouldn’t stop either. Might need to get the lil homie in a video of my own. What yall think?
