Like I said last night when I kicked off this new series, I’m well aware of the slowness in the industry around this time. So instead of letting it moderate the updates on 2dbz; I’ve decided make posts with a track or two that may bring you back to a certain place in time, piss you off for not being “new and exclusive” or maybe put you onto something you haven’t heard before.
Tonight I’m going with the first track from Dessa Darling’s False Hopes. A five-song EP that reveals an often dark look at her life and loves (© City Pages). This song in particular is the first I heard from Doomtree’s first lady. And talk about a great initial impression. Showcasing both her lyrical prowess and ability to sing, over a suiting Lazerbeak production. Now in 2010, Dessa is readying the release of her first full length album A Badly Broken Code. Be sure to pre-order now as you’ll get access to a live broadcast of Dessa’s rehearsal for her CD release show. You’ll also be able to preview music from the album, listen to singers interpret the songs, and send in your questions to Dessa and the other musicians. The rehearsal will be broadcast live on the evening of January 12th.

Drake said “dropped the mixtape sounded like an album, who’da thought a country wide tour would be the outcome”
what mixtape is he talking about? i DL’d his mixtapes and i can’t vibe to none of em.
Doomtree is GARBAGE. That is all
This is good music. The lyrics are on point, and the hook and production compliment them well.
Hey Mr.’cola it’s twenty10, Jay said that hating shit, “We off that”. Maybe he talking about that mixtape they made into an album. Hi Hater.

Which mixtape did they turn into an album? And you can’t jus quote any jigga line, dude fell off hard.

Cosign P’cola, just cause you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s hate.
Incredible. Pre-order it. Check it live.

@P’Cola – The So Far Gone Mixtape was modified and transformed into an album (EP)
Dessa is an amazing artist. I pre-ordered the LP a couple days ago.

WOUUUU goodshit, i used to bump this and slowburn (mike mictlan & sims) hard for a good month“ back and forth
She sounds like a female Ant from Atmosphere. She’s nice, though.
Thanks Shake i had no idea who this girl was before but im getting into her music and its amazing.
This is a dope idea. Keep it coming.
“She sounds like a female Ant from Atmosphere.”
umm… this makes NO sense.
lol@Nous…cosign Shake.
What does ANT sound like? He’s the producer bruh, not the emcee. Slug maybe?
And even if that’s what you meant….she doesn’t sound like Slug.
