Deca OTA

Deca OTA built his artistic identity against the backdrop of Grahame Park in North West London, one of the city's most overlooked postcodes, channeling its textures into a body of work that sits at the intersection of faith, craft, and community. Approaching rap with the patience of someone who has something to say, and the discipline to wait until he knows how to say it, assembling lyrics in fragments before piecing them together with the precision of a writer who always knows where the story ends before it begins. Drawing on MF DOOM, Masta Ace, and Mobb Deep, his sound is lyrically dense, spiritually earnest, and distinctly British. His 2024 single Free Imprint broke through on TikTok, catching the attention of UK Rap figures Nemzzz and Blanco, and that same year he co-founded the rap collective Free Imprint alongside Rosen. His debut EP, The Human Condition, released December 12 2025, drew critical acclaim, with Hallelujah featuring Hunnid2Hebron debuting at number 18 on the Official UK Christian and Gospel Singles Chart. CALLIN ON YOU with Ryan Trey extended his reach stateside. Most recently, Deca returned with PEACE , his highest-charting single, debuting at number 5 on the Official UK Christian and Gospel Singles Chart, cementing his standing as one of the most compelling voices in the UK faith music scene. Named a SXSW London 2025 featured artist, Deca OTA has arrived at a moment where his ambitions and his audience are finally in the same room.
