Hello, I’m Christopher Martin, known as Half Decent. I am a BBC-trained producer, lyricist, and MPC specialist with over 20 years of experience. From sharing stages with MF DOOM and Chase & Status to having my production used by PepsiCo, I bridge the gap between raw underground culture and high-end commercial standards.

Industry Experience
A showcase of my ability to produce melodic, R&B-infused Hip-Hop. I handled the full production and mixing, focusing on providing a lush, professional backdrop for high-quality female vocals.
Featuring Queensbridge legend Big Twinz (Infamous Mobb). I engineered the soundscape to reflect a gritty, East Coast aesthetic, utilizing custom MPC drum architecture to provide the necessary weight and “knock” for the track.
Produced the instrumental for this collaboration with Funk Volume alumnus Jarren Benton. The track highlights my versatility in blending modern, high-energy drum programming with a cohesive, polished mix.
Full production and vocal performance alongside Slaughterhouse member Joell Ortiz. The focus here was on clean, soul-sampled boom-bap and professional vocal engineering, ensuring a radio-ready balance for a top-tier US artist.
Lead producer and artist on this high-intensity collaboration featuring La Coka Nostra’s Slaine and lyrical heavyweight Canibus. This project demonstrates my ability to craft dark, cinematic production that complements some of the industry’s most respected pens.
Full production and featured verses on the title track for the “Groundhog Day” project. Featuring Wrekonize (of Mayday!/Strange Music), this track showcases high-tier technical lyricism over a self-produced, atmospheric instrumental.
A showcase of custom-engineered drum kits built from the ground up. Unlike standard loop-based production, I utilize the Akai MPC to create unique rhythmic foundations with a specific “knock” and swing, tailored for high-end Hip-Hop and Electronic projects.
Lyrical architecture and staff writing for the multi-billion-view YouTube series. I specialized in creating high-density rhyme schemes and character-driven lyrical content, ensuring complex narratives were delivered with a sharp, rhythmic flow
