An advance cut from her album 'Parts of Speech' (out on June 25th on Doomtree Records) this track sees Dessa in full-on fighting mode. Over a forceful electronic track she spits fast-paced lyrics that show she's ready to take no prisoners with this release. Far more articulate than the over-hyped stream of under-talented female rapper that the internet force feeds us, Dessa is the real deal and I fully believe that she "sleeps with both eyes open, standing up" as she claims on this track.

Track of the Day: 'Matches To Paper Dolls' by Dessa
If you've not heard Dessa before then you're in for a treat. A member of the Minneapolis-based Doomtree crew, who I first caught at the Gayngs showcase at SXSW a couple of years ago, she's not your average entertainer. With rapping talents that match her soulful singing and insightful lyrics, she could really be a force to be reckoned with when her new album comes out later this year.
In the meantime you can grab this track for free, which was recorded at the sessions for her last album 'Castor, The Twin' and which lays down a good marker for the quality of her forthcoming work. If you're a fan of THEESatisfaction or just quality, independent-minded hip-hop then you should give this a listen.
