@@conceptdivine i second this. its good to see someone who can appreciate when they know they in the presence of something special too. I've felt that for many songs created
Jacob Carlson bro thank you for your presence on this session I really appreciate this video. You tell your boy he’s making some fans that will never leave him!
Bro you actually sound unique and different. Honestly I’ve never wanted someone to get the fame and recognition as much as you should. Keep it up your time will come.
appreciate y’all for real man. much more on the way. please preorder the album if you believe. let’s show the world: sameplate.lnk.to/funhousemirrorpreorder
It's crazy how he used dribbling as a metaphor for overthinking and self-doubt. Instead of shooting (his shot), he dribbles instead. His rhyme scheme to end the first verse is crazy. My favorite part of the song is the "shooter's shooting, I can't only dribble now"... "I've been living rental style, I think it's time to own me/" because it shows he finally figured out that he's holding himself back. He was transcending. You don't just write that without believing and feeling it. I think that resonates with a lot of artists... Self-critique eats away at a lot of people that would make it if they got out of their own way. I wonder if Marlon is upset that it took him this long to pursue his dreams or if he feels like he was right on time. Best rap song I've heard in a while. I got the same feeling when I heard War by King Los or Sing About Me by Kendrick for the first time. I really appreciate the attention to detail and effort Craft puts in his music. Playlist material for sure.
@@fangent4781 I'm not psychic, but I am a Bassist. Dude flubbed a note slightly, and looked at his drummer, because that's the only other person in the room who'd know if you didn't play your part %100.
Mannnn. As a mid 30's guy who grew up listening to Hip Hop that told stories.. that made me think about things, this is IT. Thank you for not only this song, but the strength to put yourself out there. Much love and respect.
It’s crazy to me that gang shit has like 350k and this amazingly crafted, goat level vibe status jam has only 30k. Don’t get me wrong, gang shit is incredibly thought provoking and special as well. But damn man this vibe right here is something other worldly. Not many people possess this level of talent and soul. Endless props to you Marlon. Your work NEVER disappoints. 💯
Straight ART!! Got that original NY style with a twist that's Original As F***!! So excited for this new album Funhouse Mirror!! The name even got layers. CRAFT!!
No one going to say shit about the vocals of the woman on the hook through the track just killing it..The Sax too...Marlon Craft I've been listening for a couple years....I'm a kid from South Africa and imma make sure my block and my country listens to you
You on point Marlon!! Also..... Diggin the very talented band behind that crisp n funky sound =) Keep up the great work "M.C" you are an inspiration bro!! Much luv from Australia/New Zealand
Something about this live recording brings it to life just a bit more than the album version, I love it when you can tell hes getting in his zone and gets louder. Thats that soul and passion! The album version is good too, but this version is raw!
Bro im crying! might be cuz im drunk but this production is insane you care more about your music then all these "popular artist's" combined! u clearly care so much and i cant wait to see u in an arena!

It was an honor to be in the room for this. Can't wait for the album 🙏
I believe it, that's some nasty sax work though too my man! 🔥!

You guys killed this..
Jacob Carlson bro thank you for your presence on this session I really appreciate this video. You tell your boy he’s making some fans that will never leave him!
Love music done this way. All in the same room...true art form
in 3 minutes he goes from calmly story telling, to drawing the energy from every person in the room delivering heat. Passion.
one mic, yup
This comment got me hype for this now lol
This is my favorite style of rap. Rapping with a live band is just amazing.
bro search for the band "militantes del climax" they are from argentina very underground
Smino performs witha live band.. At least he did in Philly. I was pleasantly surprised
@@Lothar526 checked them out, nice recommendation. Love the sound but spanish vocals are always hard, hate it when i dont understand lyrics.
suggestion: Watsky performing "Energy" live
Sonreal performing "Try" Live
you wont regret it
actual skill involved. i remember seeing yassin bey, just rapping over his own full track, the worst shit i've ever paid to see live.
“Theres a lot riding on my like porzingis knees” still hit different in 2024
Bro you actually sound unique and different. Honestly I’ve never wanted someone to get the fame and recognition as much as you should.
Keep it up your time will come.
oh its comin. on the way
Fes Y Rs
This guy and Lil Nas X would be amazing and Joyner Lucas
@@s75553 the hell is wrong with you?
Jeff Trinkle bro what I just put in my opinion I said he would make an amazing duo with either artist do I really need to explain that to you
appreciate y’all for real man. much more on the way. please preorder the album if you believe. let’s show the world: sameplate.lnk.to/funhousemirrorpreorder
All the respect in the world bro, big love. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

You can see the band giving eachother looks like 'oh shit, this kid's real'.
They already knew bruh, its the fact that they all be rocking and having fun
I can't read their minds but all I know is they seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. energy like this is contagious
2:03 look at guys in the background
"Dude you listening?"
"Yeah fo sho"
"He's slaying the mic"
That's what I imagine just looking at their faces

@@jesselewis7347 Oh aight. Thanks for clearing it up 👌
STAY ALERT, ITS A BABY GOAT
Bro this is one of the best songs I've heard in a minute. Lyrics, soul, and self-awareness. Craft forever.
Mannnn. As a mid 30's guy who grew up listening to Hip Hop that told stories.. that made me think about things, this is IT. Thank you for not only this song, but the strength to put yourself out there. Much love and respect.
You can see how fucking happy everyone in the room is just to be apart of playing this song and enjoying every moment
the groove the summer went into at 2:40 was really smooth
I dabbled in Marlon crafts discography here and there over the last couple years, but after the last couple uploads, I'm a fan for life! Pure poetry!
Just when ya thought hip hop was dead.
Marlon Craft has entered the game.
The ball is in my court.. I don’t think they understand!!
This track hit my soul!!!
I still remember when Craft said "I was a rapper, now I'm a musician." I see what he meant. The other lives he has are dope asf also
Musician/ artist / nice human
It’s crazy to me that gang shit has like 350k and this amazingly crafted, goat level vibe status jam has only 30k. Don’t get me wrong, gang shit is incredibly thought provoking and special as well.

You can tell by their faces they’re truly enjoying playing this. It’s a beautiful thing
Crazy mood change, I felt the vibes 🤯
It's so hard being well into my 40s and find quality music done right .fkn hip hop is alive
This is fucking beautiful... real art..
Live instruments + great rap = GOOD MUSIC
Rory sick with that sax
I wish I could keep giving this more likes every time I come back to listen again.
After this I have a new thing to add to the bucket list: See Marlon Craft live
The passion is seeping out
The solo at the end was cleaaaaaan
Straight ART!! Got that original NY style with a twist that's Original As F***!! So excited for this new album Funhouse Mirror!! The name even got layers. CRAFT!!
Can’t wait till Craft goes on tour
No one going to say shit about the vocals of the woman on the hook through the track just killing it..The Sax too...Marlon Craft I've been listening for a couple years....I'm a kid from South Africa and imma make sure my block and my country listens to you
This makes me really want to see Marlon do a tiny desk concert. Make it happen NPR.
Refreshing to see a full band and conscious MC come together. Classic vibe. Hip Hop world needs more of this right here....
this is insane!! marlon craft is a baaaaaaad bad man. love the energy
His band snapppps
TFW you invent the future NBA Playoffs themesong
It’s a ritual to come back and listen to this absolute banger
You on point Marlon!!
Also.....
Diggin the very talented band behind that crisp n funky sound =)
Keep up the great work "M.C" you are an inspiration bro!!
Much luv from Australia/New Zealand
The live band and the soul of a live performance, I loved it. Can't wait for the album to drop!
Dude, I love the sound. This incorporates everything from a tribe called quest to Cannonball Adderley to G-Love. Keep it up, great voice and flow.
Craft been dope as hell!! Copping this one too!
You’ve found your flow and sound my guy, keep it up g ✊🏽
I really like your live band songs. Place To Stay has been my favourite for years, this is probably the first one to overtake it.
He shut put them on an EP or album

MARLON FOR PRESIDENT YA HEARDDDD
Can't go wrong with a great lyricist accompanied by a great band playing hip hop music.

Way2Dylagent Hey just keep working and don't give up. You'll get there.
IF you got talent, respect the culture and its Legends, you get my respect. Salute.

What I say!!!!!!!!!! Kid is ridiculous. Best MC to come out of NY or anywhere in wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long.
Something about this live recording brings it to life just a bit more than the album version, I love it when you can tell hes getting in his zone and gets louder. Thats that soul and passion! The album version is good too, but this version is raw!
