The Doomtree Emcee Gets Philosophical About Hip-Hopnew
From an artistic standpoint, it's hard not to be impressed by Dessa's debut album, which was released two weeks ago to widespread acclaim. The title gets it half right: A Badly Broken Code surely deconstructs the tropes of hip-hop and recombines them in unexpected ways, but it's more than competently done.

P.O.S. knows how to catch you off-guard. You never know if he'll be swinging his ass off Twista fast, speaking asymmetrically in asides, jarring you with things said under his breath, or teasing you with long silences.
