DJs Love Dottie

Spin magazine has a review of a new album by a female hip-hop trio from Long Island, called Northern State. They are getting a good buzz in NYC. Someone in the group, comprised of Hesta Prynn, DJ Sprout and Guinea Love, is a Dorothy Parker fan. Guinea Love raps on "The Man's Dollar":

I'm like the Dorothy Parker when I run with the boys,
I'mma break that shit up like Brenda and Dylan

You can listen to it here.

The name of the CD is "Dying in Stereo" and its out now. What would Mrs. Parker think of being in the clubscene in 2004?
