R.I.P. Video #20: Decky Boy




Recorded October 31, 2011

Broadcasting from my car in Northeast PA, it's FrankieThaLuckyDog, unfortunately reporting another loss on Saturday, October 29, 2011; this time, in tha Louisiana rap community. Dexter Platt, known in tha Boot as Decky Boy, or just Decky, was pronounced dead. Currently, tha cause of tha death iz to be determined; he was only 35 years-old. Platt represented both tha 9th Ward in New Orleans and tha South Side of Baton Rouge, LA. His debut album on Keep Movin' Records was 2000's Better Off Dead, which was respected throughout tha whole state of Louisiana. Keepin' his name alive, Platt opened up for big names such as OutKast, Scarface, E-40 & The Click, Lil' Flip, Trillville, B.G., Three 6 Mafia, Devin The Dude, Juvenile, and more. Later on in his career, he teamed up wit Baton Rouge record label, Divided Souls Entertainment, collaborating wit labelmates Rudye, Thicker Den Water, and Ian EFX, as well as Max Minelli, too. Platt died tha same day as Cookie, tha dog responsible for my signature tag, mainly heard in my video intros; they will definitely be missed!
