Dominique LaRue Tells “HerStory” (FreEP Listen & Download)

Regular readers know I've been supporting Dominique LaRue ever since her single "Fall '96" caught my eardrums way back in November. Well, it's a new year and not surprisingly LaRue is back with yet another quality project, this time coming in the form of her new freEP "HerStory". Produced entirely by Idasa Tariq, who also contributes verse, "HerStory" is the record of a woman who doesn't need to become a vessel for male fantasies in order to make good music. Plus it sounds fresh.

Just like simply being a white no longer merits a lot of attention we might someday get to the point where female rappers are just rappers, but we're not there yet. The more Dominique LaRues hip-hop has, the sooner that day will come. Not to get all Obama on you, but I believe a change is going to come, and you should too.
