In celebration of of the ten year anniversary of Deca’s modern hip-hop masterpiece, The Ocean, we’re pleased to announce the pre-order launch for this special deluxe edition reissue. Throughout the album's 12 tracks, Deca guides the listener on a journey through sound and self while exploring topics like dreams, religion, and looking beyond our own little worlds.

In light of the milestone, we worked closely with Jelle Smid and the bard himself in designing a beautifully tailored reissue with his longtime fans and supporters in mind. Limited to just 500 copies, the album boasts a 24pt gatefold jacket with inner panels that Deca created using lyric sheets and sketches from the original rhyme book and dream journals circa the album's recording sessions. The front cover is enhanced with spot gloss with gold foil numbering applied to the rear cover. The record is pressed in an ocean blue galaxy configuration with bonus instrumentals and acapellas for "Gabriel Ratchet" and "Breadcrumbs," which until now have not been available in any format. And for the chef's kiss, the album comes equipped with 12pt board obi strips. 

*All orders are expected to ship by Thanksgiving, 2023. Customers will be notified via email in the event of any shipping delays.
