(2007-04-26) Making Music featuring: Dessa (Doomtree) [View Show] PicturesVideosAudio

I didn't think it was possible to root more for local rap family Doomtree. Class was in session last night with talented poet Dessa Darling. Not only did she belt out some amazing tunes with support from DJ Paper Tiger and Jessy Greene, but she illustrated wisdom well beyond her years. Her talent was known, but her articulate and unassuming use of multi-syllabic vocab---whoa. Conversation flowed through Dessa's life experiences, digging deep into her past including a valiantly unpopular endorsement of Cher, crushing on Dave Eggers, her writing process, politics, feminism in rap and hip hop, and even how doomtree mc's get and steal dibs on coveted beats. Paper Tiger even treated the audience to a step-by-step breakdown of how to make magic out of a 2-second sample. Keep her on your radar, they are here to stay, impress and dominate.
