\"despot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For many of us, this has been a long time coming. Queens rapper Despot has been something of a ghost for the past decade, only reappearing for a rare feature here and there. He\u2019s publicly discussed his long awaited debut album for at least the past five years, which makes today\u2019s sudden drop of what has been a live staple since around 2012 or so a pretty big surprise. It was starting to feel like we were never going to get new solo material from him, but here we are.<\/p>\n

Produced by E*Vax of Ratatat, \u201cHouse of Bricks\u201d is a song that Despot has been performing live for quite a long time, but it still sounds just as fresh as it did years ago. Self-admitted perfectionist, it\u2019s nice to finally have music to go alongside his promises, especially considering how great so many of his guest spots are. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
