Dezert Eez

Articulate and provocative, Dezert Eez looks to classic rappers like KRS-One, Run D.M.C. and Public Enemy to inform their sound. Their debut grapples with "black love and esteem" and is concerned primarily about the stories that aren't being told in their communities. They are one of the few hip-hop bands that realize not everyone in the African-American community is involved in a gangsta culture. That fact alone makes them some of the most intelligent rappers to grace the vapid hip-hop scene.
