Decay is a founding member of the veteran hip hop collective, Green Llama Movement . Decay was born in Chicago. He has lived in its south, west, and north sides. Chicago is in his blood; he is a poet of its streets, an all-city emcee. 

Having lived through the eclectic styles of the various Chicago neighborhoods of his youth, Decay was also exposed to reggae, calypso and soul music from his mother, a Guyanese immigrant. Artists like Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Mighty Sparrow and Otis Redding—protest music from the streets of Jamaica, Trinidad and Chicago’s south side.

​

Decay came of age in the early 90s. He listened to Too Short, Public Enemy, and Wu-tang Clan. He found common ground between the rappers he loved and the music of his youth: Protest, rhyme, backbeat, humor, politics, satire and rebellion. He carries on the raw sound and boom-bap tradition.
