Well if you haven't checked out P.O.S. yet then I would highly suggest you do so. Last year's Never Better was a great addition to last year's impressive release list. His back catalog is also worth exploring but I would suggest going from newest to earliest. Technically those three releases were with Rhymesayers Entertainment which work a lot with Doomtree.

Other than Dessa's EP debut False Hopes I think there's only one other release which is the self-titled Doomtree album.

Yeah I have P.O.S's Never Better which is pretty good.

Mike Mictlan and Lazerbeak's Hand Over Fist is worth checking out as well. Also P.O.S. The Audition.

I recently found out about her after NPR Music did a story and short interview with her about a 1/2 year ago.

She is super talented and it shows with almost anything she records. I have to give a lot of respect to anyone who writes and performs her own songs, raps, and spoken word!

I've been listening to Dixon's Girl a lot when I'm driving to work.
I love it.

I think Doomtree's pretty boring, other than P.O.S. and sometimes Dessa. Uh, check out Grieves? I don't really like him, but he's on Doomtree and I guess he's alright. He's fun live.

How could I forget...I highly recommend Cecil Otter's Rebel Yellow, definitely my second favorite Doomtree release.

Disagree about the ONLY Hip-Hop album of 2010, but I do love the album, and I'm a big Dessa/Doomtree fan.
Also, Jester, Grieves is pretty nice, in my opinion. Had no idea he signed to Doomtree (I knew he was now related to RSE in some form, though).

Oh, wait. Maybe he isn't from Doomtree; I assumed so because he was touring with Dessa and P.O.S., and his style is pretty similar to most of Doomtree.

Ah well, maybe you'll like him anyway, jackhammer.
