Blunt embarked on his solo career in 2011, releasing a set of albums as well as several EPs and singles. His full-length studio albums, The Narcissist II (2012), The Redeemer (2013), and Black Metal (2014), received attention and praise from various music publications.
Blunt has also hosted conceptual art exhibitions in the past, an example of this is a minimalist exhibition displaying a building site hoarding wall accompanied by a crowd dispersal alarm.[citation needed].
Blunt is also known for his playfulness and obfuscation. In 2015, he sent his bodyguard to accept his Philip Hall Radar Award at the NME awards. In 2016, he listed a toy Foxtons estate agents Mini Cooper filled with marijuana on eBay. At a New York concert, in March 2016, media guests were asked to check in under aliases that they had received with their ticket confirmations.
Chancer
Dean Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let these niggas know what the fuck is up
Only London nigga out here
Smoking blunts back
To back like a fucking yankee nigga
To the front, ya heard?
Niggas wanna hate you when you down
They doubt you when you doin' it
Do you know what’s going on tonight?
I just got a tin and it's alright
If you wanna see me then it's lit
(It’s lit than a bitch)
You ain't got a problem getting in
(Woo! Let's go)
Say if you roll with me then it's alright
(That's a'ight nigga these niggas ain't
Got shit on you Dean
These niggas ain't ’bout shit nigga)
I ain’t even gotta try that hard
Hanging 'round with me you get a pass
They just wanna stop us getting rich
We ain’t gonna take no more of it
So if they gonna shoot they better hit, hit
Hit (Hit nigga! Grrah! Grrah!
Grrah! Grrah! Niggas
Ain't about shit fuck 'em)
In the opening lyrics of "Chancer," Dean Blunt introduces himself as the only Londoner on the scene with a swagger and confidence which could be seen as arrogance or simply as a testament to his self-belief. The song portrays the theme of overcoming obstacles, especially the naysayers, haters, and doubters who become more active when one is down but are non-existent when one achieves success. Throughout the song, Dean seems to brush off these negative energies while assuring his fans that there will not be any hindrance in getting to the top. The chorus: "Do you know what’s going on tonight? I just got a tin and it's alright" signifies a cause for celebration and assurance that Dean is living his life to the fullest.
The lines "I ain't even gotta try that hard" and "Hanging ‘round with me you get a pass" convey the image of Dean as an effortlessly cool character and an artist who has already gained recognition at an early stage in his career. This might reflect his experiences of being a former member of several underground music collectives and his reputation as a solo artist who always stays true to his artistry. The last line in the song "So if they gonna shoot they better hit, hit" could be interpreted in two ways; either it's a call to send a warning shot to anyone who's trying to hinder his success or a message about his life experiences, where he's already been through hardship and nothing can stop him from being who he is.

Ay Dean
Calling out to Dean
Let these niggas know what the fuck is up
Tell everyone what's really going on
Only London nigga out here
The only true Londoner present
Smoking blunts back
Smoking marijuana cigarettes one after the other
To back like a fucking yankee nigga
Like an American, smoking regularly
To the front, ya heard?
In agreement and understanding
Niggas wanna hate you when you down
People dislike you when you're struggling
They doubt you when you doin' it
They still don't trust you when you're succeeding
Do you know what’s going on tonight?
Do you have any idea what's happening tonight?
I just got a tin and it's alright
I just got a container of drugs and it's good
If you wanna see me then it's lit
If you want to see me, it's going to be exciting
(It’s lit than a bitch)
Very exciting
You ain't got a problem getting in
It won't be difficult for you to enter
(Woo! Let's go)
Excitement and eagerness
Say if you roll with me then it's alright
If you hang out with me, everything will be okay
(That's a'ight nigga these niggas ain't
Got shit on you Dean
These niggas ain't ’bout shit nigga)
Others are not as important as Dean
I ain’t even gotta try that hard
I don't have to put in a lot of effort
Hanging 'round with me you get a pass
Being around me means you have a free pass
They just wanna stop us getting rich
Others want to prevent us from becoming wealthy
We ain’t gonna take no more of it
We won't tolerate it anymore
So if they gonna shoot they better hit, hit
Hit (Hit nigga! Grrah! Grrah!
Grrah! Grrah! Niggas
Ain't about shit fuck 'em)
If they are going to attack, they had better make it count, otherwise leave us alone
