Comments: Credited by Minnesota Public Radio as "combining the dry wit of Dorothy Parker with the beat of Mos Def," Dessa dishes up thoughtful, well-crafted hip-hop on her album A Badly Broken Code. Her poetic lyrics are unite the varied songs. Go to "The Chaconne," described as "pensive and beautiful" or "The Crow" which has "aggressive drums, distant organ melodies, & ... haunting sung choruses." She's currently on tour with P.O.S.
