Despot - Rap music…anyone know of him? Next Up: El-P's Solo Career (1 Viewer)

Despot is, indeed, dope. He's buddies with El-P from Run the Jewels and has a verse on "Blockbuster Night Part 2" from RTJ2 as well as some of El-P's solo stuff. Hopefully, he finally drops a full-length album this year.

 
gave him a listen after hearing him on the Huzah remix a while ago and was left with a meh feeling. Time to try again? 

 
I get House of Bricks coming up a fair amount in different Spotify daily mixes, discover weekly, radios etc, but I never actually looked at the artist until the other day.  It's not bad, I guess.

 
I saw him open for KIller Mike and EL-P at a venue with like 20 people in attendance, when KM and EL-P were touring their solo albums and just finishing up the first RTJ album. He didn't even have a DJ or use trackstar. He just played the instrumentals off his phone through the PA and rapped over them.

He'll never release an album. He's been working on it for over a decade now, with no end in sight. He also runs that Frankel's Deli in NY, so that probably takes a lot of time.

My favorite track by him is Crap Artists, off that old Def Jux compilation.
