He emerged on the hip hop scene in the 1990s, hailing from Oxnard, California, where he became associated with a generation of prolific West Coast musicians.

With recent releases such as "Rocketman," "Back To Normal," and "DOOM to the Tomb," he has continued to channel his eclectic influences into music that defies easy categorization, often touching on themes of social consciousness, spirituality, and personal struggle. Albums like "In The Beginning Vol. 2" and "Forgotten Roads" display his storytelling prowess, offering listeners a window into his creative psyche, while tracks like "The Last Stand" and "God's Grace" reflect the meditative and sometimes enigmatic layers of his artistry. An important figure in underground hip hop, Declaime’s contributions often blend reflective wordplay with soulful production, ensuring his work resonates with authenticity and emotional depth.
