Despot, the Queens born rapper, hasn't been all that active ever since he delivered a monster verse on Run the Jewels' "Blockbuster Night Pt. 2." Sure he's contributed some stuff for Vampire Weekend, iLoveMakonnen and a couple others but what we truly want is some solo Despot. And it looks like we are finally getting that with this new track, "House of Bricks." The track is also produced by E*Vax of Ratatat. Check out the new Despot cut after the jump.
