Dessa is fierce and smart and I love her music. She's a ~~white~~ rapper from Minneapolis on the DOOMTREE label.

I HOPE I'M WRONG mourns the memory of a girlhood friend.

FIRE DRILLS rages against the victim-blaming bullshit that puts women on the constant defensive against violence.

ETA: rydra_wong tells me Dessa is "half-Puerto Rican", not white.

I only know because it came up in an interview -- someone was asking her about being a white girl in rap and she politely said nope, though noting that she has whatever advantages come with being "white-passing" in appearance.
