My close friend who basically shares the same exact musical tastes as I do told me about a new Def Jux artist named Despot about a month back. I just nodded my head, as if to say, "Sure, yeah, okay. I'll never check him out so whatever."
Well, boredom and the need for newer music to listen to caused me to finally check out this mystery rapper. The first track I listened to was, "The Life Of Snarky Parker", I believe. Needless to say, I was blown away. An effortless flow, amazing story-telling and righteous lyricism reminded me of a less-confusing version of Aesop Rock. I should've known, though. I can't recall ever disliking any Def Jux artist or album I've managed to listen to. But, I digress.
So after being blown away, I decided to search for more tracks. Sadly, I was only able to muster up about five tracks in total, although each one is extremely dope, especially if you're a Def Jux fan.
I thought I'd share these five tracks with all of you. I suggest you check this guy out. Rumor has it that Blockhead and 'a few special guests' will be taking over the majority of the production on his debut album, supposedly dropping this year, entitled, "Hooray For Me".
Until then, enjoy these tracks.
Tracks include: "Get Rich Or Try Dying", "Crap Artists", "Life With Snarky Parker", "Substance D" and "Homesickness".
