Let’s get it going
Less emotion more emulsion
Burn it black
Down to the ash, start from scratch
Build it all back

Dessa, Bury the Lede, 2023 on Doomtree Records

Dessa is a part of the hip-hop collective Doomtree out of MInneapolis – great collection of artists and she is (for me) one of the standouts. She was also cohost of the Deeply Human podcast in 2021-2022.

My copy is a signed red-vinyl “Collector’s Edition” via Waterloo Records in Austin TX. Unfortunately my copy did not include the Custom Dopp Kit or the poster.

Doomtree, False Hopes, 2007 on Doomtree Records

Doomtree are a hip-hop collective (and record label) from Minneapolis, including Dessa, Cecil Otter, P.O.S., Sims, Mike Mictian, Paper Tiger, and Lazerbeak. False Hopes came out (on CD) before their “debut” album, self-titled Doomtree, in 2008.

There were many other “False Hopes” CDs of individual artists. The bandcamp for this release claims “This is the eleventh (or twelfth) False Hopes. It is also the first to feature the entire Doomtree crew*” but the asterisk notes that’s “not technically true” so who knows. Their own bandcamp lists only 4 other “False Hopes” releases, but there are many more in discogs.

My copy is actually a 2018 Tenth Anniversary Vinyl Reissue, via Down in the Valley in Golden Valley, MN

Bolt cutter, box cutter, brick
Take that shit, take no shit
Bolt cutter, box cutter, brick
Take that shit, shake that shit

I ain’t like yall
I’m into weird shit
I’m in the back getting weird with my weird friends
Hugging a bass line
Hoping you feel this
And these rhymes ain’t tight they are terrorish
And that girl’s not white she’s an anarchist
And we float like kites through your turbulence

Born with our throats slit
Self stitched
Raised to aim
Over it
Soldier with no king
War with the war on me
I am more than this world lets me
Be
So I be like a beast
Let em bleed
Let me see though the fear man
I don’t even live here

Self taught
Wrong
Barrel on no kings y’all come along
We never tryna be the best at some bullshit
Naw let the rest crawl I’ma get out right now

This world’s got a whole lot of locked doors
We decided not to live here anymore
Found a way to trade tragic for savage
We insist on a life less average
This world’s got a whole lot of locked doors
We decided not to live here anymore
Picked though the norm didn’t fit didn’t stick to the script didn’t care
We don’t even live here

We ain’t like them
We into weird shit
Me and my peers disappear when the lights hit
roach wag
Same kinda path
Stash no crap tryna gag in your coach bag
For laughs
Something bout your money
Trust no rich folks empty out the tummy on your math
That’s how I feel about that
Back to that good old fashion class warfare
Aint enough and the cash got the young punks
Stab any rapper and laugh when he piss blood
So human
All flawed
Found my world tryna test those odds
Best flows chose for the wreck not the rep
When the sets done no ones up next
And no ones upset
And no one holds breath anymore right?

In light of terrible reactionary rap becoming popular, I want to plug a great song that doesn't get a lot of attention. #simsdoomtree #doomtree #shredddders
