Minnesota poet–essayist–neuroscience enthusiast Dessa is the whitest hip-hop artist on Earth (even if she's half Latinx). I mean that as genuine praise: she takes the style and adopts it to her own usages — and it's great. Some of the stuff on her last album (very good) leaned a little more pop — which is fine with me.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: What can I tell you? I'm still loving the fresh clean version of a now-ubiquitous-in-NYC cuisine at X'ian Town.
