Press Release Body =
NEW ORLEANS, LA (GOTHIC ENT) December 2, 2006 - Rap artist Decky, born Dexter Platt,
has returned to the Louisiana hip-hop scene. Raised on the notorious South Side of
Baton Rouge and in the 9th Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana, his last solo album
\"Better Off Dead\" was considered by fans an instant street classic. The album still
receives club play in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi.

Decky, now signed to Baton Rouge record label Divided Souls, has returned to the
studio and built a new catalogue of songs that insiders say connect with nearly
every emotion or occasion. Thought-provoking tracks remain clubworthy by adding a
touch of New Orleans-style rhythm. Songs like"Whatcha Want From Me?"and the title
song from his crew\'s new compilation "Mark of the Beast", dare ask important
questions about the motives of our government during the Katrina crisis.

"Louder!" his growing club hit featuring Baton Rouge\'s Maxminelli, made its debut on
the 2006 Ozone Magazine Hip Hop Awards Album alongside national artists (over 10,000
copies released) and continues to receive positive reviews in industry magazines.
Keith Kennedy, Vice President of one of the country\'s most influential Dj
Associations, TjsDjs Record Pool, states in the national pubilcation \"Ozone\": "Decky
made a smart move by keeping the in-house production of Divided Souls....With a
track produced this well you will have no choice but to turn the music \'Louder!\'".

The Divided Souls compilation featuring Decky, \"Mark of the Beast\", is scheduled to
be released during the first quarter of 2007 and also features Decky\'s label mates
Rudye, Jimmy Jump, Ian FX, and Houston duo Thicker Den Water. All five acts are
available for booking, hosting, collaborations and interviews.
