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.

Dean Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Married to the models in the rain
Married to the models in the rain
Married to the models in the rain, rain
Money over bitches every day
Honey wonder how I got this way
Say I'm stuck, it's up, I'm in my ways
Best of luck, you might just change
What I'd done, what I did
And I did it all the same (Bitch)
No, I wouldn't go and change a thing (Thing)
Sell your soul, that's the price of fame
(In vain) niggas talk my name, well
Don't talk in vain again
Like the Christ Lord, I'm the samе
(Ah, ah ah) how is goin'?
Where we goin'? Yеah where we go up? yeah
They just know it, yeah
Money over bitches every day
It's money or the business every day ay ay
Every day
I'm so strapped, I got a AK (Heart attack)
Heart attack, you see me come, see me coming
They don't see me coming when I was away
Money over bitches every day ay ay
Every day ay ay every day
It was just a big 1960s
Black Arts Movement myth and
Eventually you gotta blow out
The incense and deal
The lyrics to Dean Blunt's song "STOOZY" touch on themes of fame, identity, and the sacrifices one must make in pursuit of success. The repeated line "Married to the models in the rain" suggests a sense of being consumed by the allure and glamour of the entertainment industry. This could be seen as a metaphorical representation of being tied to a lifestyle that may appear glamorous on the surface but ultimately lacks substance and authenticity.
The line "Money over bitches every day" reflects a prioritization of material wealth and success over personal relationships. It speaks to a mindset of putting financial gain above all else, potentially driven by the desire to maintain a certain lifestyle or status. The mention of being stuck in one's own ways and never changing suggests a sense of stubbornness or resistance to altering one's behavior or beliefs, even when it may be necessary for personal growth.
The lyrics also touch on the price of fame and the potential for losing oneself in the pursuit of success. The line "Sell your soul, that's the price of fame" implies that giving up one's authenticity or moral compass is a necessary sacrifice in order to achieve fame and recognition. There is a sense of resignation in the line "I'd done it all the same, no, I wouldn't go and change a thing," suggesting a acceptance of the consequences that come with this lifestyle.
Overall, "STOOZY" can be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality and sacrifices of the entertainment industry, as well as the conflicting desires for success and maintaining one's true self.
