Hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, David Drummond (a.k.a. DeCypha) has made his mark and earned the respect of many artists and listeners by incorporating his battle-style lyricism with hard metaphors, punch lines and heartfelt words. In his music, you will find snippets from both the good and bad moments of his life - moments which have shaped him into the man and artist he is today. Charles “Hollywood Chuck” Smith (Cassidy’s manager/party promoter) told him “You really have the talent to make some noise at the next level.
DeCypha is more than ready for the next level. His mixtapes Reality Check 2 and Talk to Me were both nominated for Mixtape of the Year at the KYMP Awards, and Reality Check 2 won for Mixtape of the Year at the KRS Awards. During his venture he has opened up for artists such as Styles P., Cassidy, Pastor Troy, Nappy Roots, Bizarre and Jelly Roll to name a few, and has worked with artists such as Mistah F.A.B., Cyssero, MassPike Miles, Verse Simmons and Cassidy, some of which will be featured on DeCypha's upcoming project, Conversations.
Conversations is set for digital release in the summer of 2015. With this project, DeCypha plans to reach more fans around the world and grasp the attention of someone who can use a writer/artist like himself. With his pen to the paper and mic in hand, DeCypha is ready for the next opportunity to take him where he desires to be. Cappriccieo “Capp Arrow” Scates (A&R, label owner) told him “You are dope! The only thing separating you from the next level is opportunity.” If opportunity doesn’t knock, he’ll build a door.
