Hi,
I'm the man up in this place! = I'm the most important man, the boss, in this place. 'The preposition 'up' does not really add much meaning to the sentence. It may suggest that this place is far away from . . . other places. I guess you realize that they are talking about prison.

Hi again,
I thought it meant "upper class"
Definitely not. It's an expression that I believe comes from 'street talk'.

Hi,
The term 'the decider' may be a little polite in a prison context. If he's 'the man' in prison, it may simply be that if you don't treat him with respect or if you make him angry, he'll kill you.
