I was listening to Class Actress, and made me think about Dessa. D's def on another level but liked the fact that CA uses ole school beats and thought it might be something D could do to use her talents but also hit a scene that is becoming more mainstream. I hate music that's played out but if they don't make money then we won't ever hear from them again. So to me I'd rather hear a few MS songs if it keeps the artist going. Just would hate to see her talents not recognized as they should be.
Curious, are you singing about a member of atmosphere? It makes me think that when your songs talk about them prospering and the only hip hop artists I know that have somewhat made it are Atmosphere. Especially when u relate to 1989 it makes me think of Prince and the next best thing out of MSP would be Atmosphere, besides Michael Floyd Jr. or hockey players. I can feel the emotions in your songs but it seems like it's someone in particular, but I guess that's the same for most great artist!
@PeteGK08 Sweet, it makes so much more sense now. I appreciate it. Sounds like she really has her head on straight, hope she makes it out of MSP. When I lived up there I learned about real musicians and how there are so many amazing artists out there but most you never have heard of all because of what BS promotions or marketing they use to exploit/sellout. I guess sometimes you have to do what is necessary to get recognized but never forget your roots.
@BigTuna24241 Hope she keeps it up, too good to stop. At least to the people that matter. Pete, I'm more like Boston George, my best friend that passed was the BIG TUNA!! AKA BUTTER!! Just keeping his memory alive! Thanks for the insight!
@BigTuna24241 the only true problem with MSP is the weather, bro. There's plenty of folks who make it work out here; don't blame geography for mediocrity.
@psilogen,Mybad if you thought I disliked MSP, I actually loved it,just grew up in the South.If it wasn't for MSP I wouldn't know anything about good music/art.Also learned a lot about the differences in culture and am glad I had the chance to see a different side to life.If anything I was giving MSP props for producing real musicians.My thing is they just have a harder time marketing themselves being in an area that expects/hears such great music.But the hip-hop scene is unique/good.
i always smile when listening to her wit. shes bloody brilliant. please, everyone recycle this music. distribute and share whenever you can. real music will conquer.
@blazelmtdedtn ah me too. i always get stuck on that song and listen to it over just for her line. when i first heard it, i had to find out who she was.
Yup winner indeed - I` v e been a fan since I first heard her, she`s got tons of talent, and live she is awesome too. And she`s also got a lot of charm, and she is very down to earth, and all of those things together is what makes her a true star.
I love her balance between words and music, it all flows so eloquintly, so simply, so amazingly.. She sings and it reminds me of my past, my little brother, my depression, this woman is amazing!
Your all tripping now, she's good. But I sense some 'thirstiness'.

@BigTuna24241 This songs about her little brother, literally. She brings him on stage sometimes when he's at the shows.
Also, BIG TUNA!
