Personally if someone like Eminem heard her I think they would have a perfect part for her style, but I say go your own route and make MSP your own stopping grounds it's time for a new Prince(ess)! Shit, I bet he would especially if it was a Sheila E remix! Like S McLaughlin did back in the day use Dub-step or {new wave(whatever u want to call it)} like Neon Indian, Holy Ghost!,Cut Copy,Prefuse 73,Boards of Canada, or those sounds to get the name out. She is too good not to hear of that voice!
@XCFeaR, she is something that is very marketable, but she needs that hit that becomes viral and in my opinion it would be to take advantage of the great bands that come through the area that could use a great female lyricist. I would say Dubstep but you also could go the route of someone like Neon Indian, MGMT, Solid Gold(who I personally thought would have made it by now) but also even someone like School of Seven Bells who I know the last time was having problems with one sister.
Eat a dick, sorry but that is a classic comment. I remember I said it to my sister and was tackled from behind into a coffee table and split my head open for saying that, luckily u have the computer to protect u, no offense as I used the same comment. The only negative I would have is it seems like she has just had relationship issues. Which are great for creativity but to relate to the common person u need more heartache, nothing a great writer can't fix.
@XCFeaR but dessa is tight. ur not. i mean... you do get interest from a certain audience; which happens to be douche bags and wannabes but other than that ur not gonna get views by commenting on a much more superior, on all levels i might add; artist than you. sorry.
@saintsmurf the thing is..i mixed and mastered this song, AND PUT IT UP, so obviously im a fan...instead of being a dickface about (which you can suck my dick by the way) take your wack ass opinion, load it into a gun and put in your mouth and squeeze it you butthurt little faggot :), thank you for the plays.
She reminds me of a hotter Sarah McLaughlin, as far as voice is concerned(grew up to the rave scene in the late 90's in MIA and she totally capitalized on it for good or bad but to me her voice was amazing). If she used that to her advantage she could really break out. I can see the emotion and struggle in her and the creative side wanting to burst out but she just needs what all great artists need is motivation/inspiration/insanity. Just please do not sell out, you have such a beautiful voice.
@XCFeaR,Big Ups!As we say down South or mad props.Great job, if U know
the artists I was talking about earlier like Neon Indian/Com Truise you'll know what I was saying how I think her voice would blend perfectly with that sound and right now that movement is missing a female vocalist,similar to McLaughlin and the late 90's.Dessa is so much more versatile than she was but it's something to use to get her name out. I'm guessing u know how strong the D-step scene is there and if u could blend it.
@likeiwould23 should be easy enough to write em down! thats always a good experience, and helps you memorize it, if you really don't want to, get back to me and i'll post em on my tumblr
shit doubt you'll get this girl, but since you posted your own song i figure there may be a chance you will. You have amazing talent and a beautiful voice. as a fellow poet i got nothin but respect for you keep it up you'll make your dreams come true.
@suppawill avatar the last air bender??? I hope you mean the tv show not that piece of crap movie cause that movie is the best there is...of the worst movies of all time; actually it's at the top of the friggin' list of worst movies of all time.
This is a amazeing story about a women waiting for her husband who has gone on a long journey im thinking war? but its all about how she leave the light on so he can find his way home and and threw out the song she slowly loses her confidence and does more radical to keep the "becon" burning for his to return but we find that he ahs died and this is her reconsiliation with that
@outlawnigga1990 As Dessa wrote above, this song is on the album "False Hopes," which can be found on Amazon and iTunes. You should check out the rest of this album too...it's very good.
I love the way she puts her songs together. Excellent artist, she deserves to be mainstream.
BTW to those ppl that keep making comments about how mainstream female hiphop artists are "whores". Ya'll need to shut up, do you know these artists in person? No I don't think so. Dessa isn't necessarily better than mainstream ( though I personally prefer her style over most mainstream) it's just underground music is different from mainstream styles.
@Arqera No I Don't Know any Of these people personally but who does? i guess you don't get out much, all the mainstream artists ARE whores from any point of view. If Dessa were to become mainstream she would never be able to make music like she is now. Record companies tell you what to sing about and restrictions like that make the artists complete sellouts. So Yeah That Would make Her BETTER Than Mainstream whores.
@Cassita17 How can you label someone a whore if you don't know them? To call someone that you'd have to know alot more about them then just watching some music vids or listening to their songs. BTW I DO get out alot, I probably listen to alot more music than you've ever heard. Hip-Hop is meerly one of the many genres I like.
Also since the mainstream artists are such whores, would you care to elaborate what those points of view you mentioned are, I'd like to hear them so I may debase them.
pretty dumb? so now you're insulting me for a comment? i'm just thinking how the little girls would be if they had someone to look upon to like dessa, instead of those 'whores'.. im sorry your mind doesn't go further then insults and words like underground and whores, i think that's the same shit rihanna and gaga use haha
I hope this gets mainstream, oh the funzies i would have.. rihanna for the party girls, gaga for the fashion and 'art' and dessa,for the smart and underrated.. just to have a nice life ever after..
Paid Dues 2010 Was The First Time I Heard Dessa Live. It Was Fucking Amazing!!! She Has Talent Beyond Any Mainstrem 'Female 'Hip Hop" Artist. I'd Definitely Recommend Buying Badly Broken Code(GENIUS)
Don't Want To rub It In But It Was The Best Shit i've Done in my life tickets were sixty and vip was 120 i think. You Missed a good show But there is always next year=)
the midwest is where all the rappin is nowadays. ist all the hoods of minneapolis. ahhhh, how i wish i still lived there........fuck NJ(where i live now), long live minnesota
@chuckkicksass yeah mn is where its at. not only is it a sweet state in general but the rappers are sick. last weekend doomtree had a free show in northfield(hometown chya), and it was AMAZING!!!
Hello erybody. Thanks for the kind words. The song is called 'If & When' and it's on a album called False Hopes by Doomtree-available on iTunes if you're inclined.
@dessadarling .Hands Down...you are the most Remarkable,Sophisticated,Classy,and beautiful musician ive ever heard in my LIFE.your music means so much to me ..i listen to you and Doomtree daily with a select few other artists...You are the dopest female MC to do this shit now .along with some of the best vocals ive ever heard.So Thank You Dessa.Thank you for showing people just cuz ur a female mc you dont have to be a slut ..you can be smart and beautiful. signed,John.ILY DESSA ! lol.
Dessa's fuckin' raw...she can rap and sing really well. Without a doubt the best female MC in the game right now, for whatever that's worth. There are so few of those...
Does she have a solo album somewhere that I'm unaware of?
@cavelatin Hey cavelatin, I see you wrote your comment 5 months ago about whether Dessa has a solo album, so you might already know what I'm about to say. She just released her first solo album "A Badly Broken Code," and it's available on the Doomtree website, Amazon.com, iTunes, etc. I really like it (as have many others), but some have been disappointed that there isn't more rapping on it (she sing-raps a lot of the tracks). She also has a great "False Hopes" EP with 5 songs on it.
that's pretty funny. i would probably think of stupid shit like that to say but i'm not a faggot that says retarded shit to people on youtube for no fucking reason.
but what do i know i guess i'm not the one everyone is hating on here because i have no fucking life. hit me back when your balls drop.
@superbadlucre I remember when "your mom" jokes were funny that week in elementary school. You need to get a life fuck face, outside of talking shit on the Internet.
@markb9051 hahaha i agree with what you said about superbadlucre (retarded fucking name). i bet his dad is like GOD DAMMIT... i should have just kept trying to get her to do anal...
Don't be absurd. She has substance in her art and definitely in her personality. Life can throw some weird shit your way and I feel like she portrays that well.
Well, that may very well make her a good artist, but I don't believe that you know what kind of person she is. Ergo, you'e just saying it cuz shes hot. No big deal.
Go fuck yourself. Who are you to tell me what is or is not inspiring? She paints a picture in your head if you let her. It's just music and well made music for that matter. Just because you are obsessed with vanity does not mean every one else is.
If I asked you if you were happy, would you say yes or no? And more so, would you answer truthfully to yourself? Please try to understand your negativity is not going to get you anywhere in life. Your ego is a reflection of what a bullshit culture has turned you into, perpetuated by a bullshit lifestyle that revolves around conflict like the one going on between you and I right now. Until you can think of a way to undermine this theory, I bid you adue. The time is NOW. Think bigger.
haha dude I get it, you like the cock, get on with your bad self. I'm not one to cast aspersions on your choice of sexual partners. btw how does a fine upstanding homosexual such as yourself avoid learning the word 'adieu' at some point in your festive travelings? and here i thought french and fag were the same language. sacre bleu!
@superbadlucre How ironic that an artist who is vehemently averse to using the word "faggot" in any of her work now has a song playing host to an argument so one-sided that the losing party has to result to baseless attacks on one's sexuality. A shame.
Well, terrible sentence structure aside, allow me to rebut:
a) The song isn't 'playing host' to anything, argument is immaterial. Also, I am a modernist, the artist's own predilections do not color my consumption of said artist's products
b) Baseless? Hardly. Look at what a big gay fruity fucker he is - LOOK! Sheesh, it couldn't be any more apparent if he was painted dayglo pink and running down the street with a chicken up his ass.
I wish the quality of this was better tbh, and @everyone with their MY OPINION OF GOOD MUSIC IS VASTLY SUPERIOR TO THE REST OF THE WORLDS You should all choke on a dick of landfills. This song is decent though... Quality just seems way off ;\
yeah quality sucks, fades in and out, but maybe its just the youtubez fault, i should really buy this album and support some decent shit for a change - though i did just buy 'never better'
This song haunts my days and im dedicating a wall of my apt to it, not just here for probably always. possibly tattoo, keep one light on ill always find my way...chills
I do write my own shit you ignorant fuck, I'm just not conceited enough to tattoo something of my own on me. And have you nothing better to do than go through comments a month old and call ppl you dont know names?I digress to argue with a fool proves there are 2
@abombesq holy fucking goatballs lmao 'I digress to argue with...' haha you *digress* to argue, do you? Really, you pig-simple halfwit? You've never read a book, have you?
and then she talks about a drifter being found dead in a barn, wearing the same clothes as this "person" whoever it may be, that she's been waiting for. obviously it was him who was dead, but she will only accept that its a stranger in his clothes. that's my interpretation at least :) either way she's amazing in every way. so is this song.
i think it's about not being able to let go of somebody, not being able to accept the fact that they're gone...."a girl whos decent would long be in her blacks by now, im no young widow like they're calling me in town"
i think i've finally figured out the meaning to this song...i think..if no tis beyond me. but i think its about her breaking up with an ex husband? ex someone...
Hell yeah, I just found the album today and have listened through it at least 3 times man... I was skipping through some records, saw the cover and I thought it looked, well... unique, so it caught my attention. And it's fucking fantastic.. worth every second.
When I exhausted all the tinder the house was dark for days. Since I thought to remove the oven door I've been kneeling here guard this flame. The neighbors have stopped calling now their children come throw stones and the papers from the bankers say they doubt you're coming home. They found a man you know, a drifter in the barn last year. While I was sleeping, must have made it to the house, they found him frozen in your clothing dear.
absolutely love, infatuated, can't stop listening to it deep, wonderful, brilliant, lyrics i can relate to, enchanting voice...i could go on and on

Dessa's fuckin' raw...she can rap and sing really well. Without a doubt the best female MC in the game right now, for whatever that's worth. There are so few of those...
Does she have a solo album somewhere that I'm unaware of?
cavelatin 2 years ago 2
It comes out on the 19th. There's a link to her first video from it on her myspace.

@cavelatin Hey cavelatin, I see you wrote your comment 5 months ago about whether Dessa has a solo album, so you might already know what I'm about to say. She just released her first solo album "A Badly Broken Code," and it's available on the Doomtree website, Amazon.com, iTunes, etc. I really like it (as have many others), but some have been disappointed that there isn't more rapping on it (she sing-raps a lot of the tracks). She also has a great "False Hopes" EP with 5 songs on it.

this woman has so many reasons to believe in herself. great songwriter, artist, and person it seems. Just amazing. damn.

When you say she is a 'great person', you're just saying she's really hot, right?
superbadlucre 2 years ago
Don't be absurd. She has substance in her art and definitely in her personality. Life can throw some weird shit your way and I feel like she portrays that well.
avanduzer 2 years ago
Well, that may very well make her a good artist, but I don't believe that you know what kind of person she is. Ergo, you'e just saying it cuz shes hot. No big deal.
superbadlucre 2 years ago
Go fuck yourself. Who are you to tell me what is or is not inspiring? She paints a picture in your head if you let her. It's just music and well made music for that matter. Just because you are obsessed with vanity does not mean every one else is.
avanduzer 2 years ago
lol oh I see - why didn't you just say you're gay from the get-go? Gay dudes get a pass on respecting women. it's kinda their thing, yeah?
superbadlucre 2 years ago
If I asked you if you were happy, would you say yes or no? And more so, would you answer truthfully to yourself? Please try to understand your negativity is not going to get you anywhere in life. Your ego is a reflection of what a bullshit culture has turned you into, perpetuated by a bullshit lifestyle that revolves around conflict like the one going on between you and I right now. Until you can think of a way to undermine this theory, I bid you adue. The time is NOW. Think bigger.
avanduzer 2 years ago
haha dude I get it, you like the cock, get on with your bad self. I'm not one to cast aspersions on your choice of sexual partners. btw how does a fine upstanding homosexual such as yourself avoid learning the word 'adieu' at some point in your festive travelings? and here i thought french and fag were the same language. sacre bleu!

@superbadlucre How ironic that an artist who is vehemently averse to using the word "faggot" in any of her work now has a song playing host to an argument so one-sided that the losing party has to result to baseless attacks on one's sexuality. A shame.
cubsfan1987 2 years ago
Well, terrible sentence structure aside, allow me to rebut:
a) The song isn't 'playing host' to anything, argument is immaterial. Also, I am a modernist, the artist's own predilections do not color my consumption of said artist's products
b) Baseless? Hardly. Look at what a big gay fruity fucker he is - LOOK! Sheesh, it couldn't be any more apparent if he was painted dayglo pink and running down the street with a chicken up his ass.
c) You are fat, so shaddap.

and then she talks about a drifter being found dead in a barn, wearing the same clothes as this "person" whoever it may be, that she's been waiting for. obviously it was him who was dead, but she will only accept that its a stranger in his clothes. that's my interpretation at least :) either way she's amazing in every way. so is this song.
