Today’s hip-hop artists often lack the storytelling component of yesteryear, and the poetic nature of rap that once eloquently captured the hearts of listeners around the world has been traded for music that is all bass and no soul. There are some, however, that are looking to take back the reigns of intelligent lyricism and bring it back into a storytelling format, and one such artist fighting to bring it all alive is Deca with his newest video for “Skyward.” Literally diving into a world of stop-motion animation with animator Steven Mertens, he brings his song to life visually and musically, immersing his viewers into his subtle, yet complex world. The end result is 3 minutes of magic, an oasis for those looking for an escape from today’s empty lyrics and selfish one-liners. “Skyward” embraces both the old and the new, and Deca’s devotion to artistic immersion is quickly proving to pay dividends as he continues his career.
