There's no implication that by doing a Tiny Desk (home) concert now, that an artist won't be invited to perform at the Tiny Desk at a later date. Thanks for raising the concern!
D smoke the truth. I love his songs but I think I almost prefer the stripped down versions. If he put out like an "acoustic album" where he plays and has his songs more like this I think it hits harder for me.
Don't know your age, but MTV used to have an Unplugged series where artists would perform acoustic versions of their songs, this would have been perfect.
Hip Hop is a young guys' game, partially because subject matter is too nihilistic or just immature sometimes. Therefore it feels so good to see a comment like yours one here, that makes sure that Hip Hop has got smth to share with the elders. Thank you.
@@AndreiBerezin I love music from all genres. Hip hop has always seemed like technology produced over mixed sampled music without any real musical instruments. Here D Smoke was playing his piano, excellent!
I'm always in awe of how he carries himself. Such a role model. I'm so proud of the messages he's releasing into the world. Artists like DSmoke who understand music and it's capabilities are true leaders.
man, I needed this today after watching CNN and dealing with George Floyd this put a calm on my heart. D Smoke just keeps dropping great music and content, creating a standard for future artists.
6/11/2020 here listening to "Black Habits" ..... this album was produced way before everything started. D Smoke been the truth but yet no one listens. It's time for to listen!!!!!
I fell in love with D. Smoke from the very first flow I heard. My spirit needed this, with all that is going on in the world right now It is so good to have some real music to bless my soul.
Exactly how I feel…i just watched the whole season of Rhythm & Flow and that final performance…I watched it over and over. It is what I needed at this time in my life. I could say so much more, but I’ll just say I’m grateful for this spirit shared with the world 💕
Excellent job to the bookers over at NPR Tiny Desk! No better time to introduce the world to the amazing gift that is D SMOKE! So happy to see his voice reach new heights!
Black Habits II and Closer to God are my two favorites of the album. I can't believe you've shared them with us. Thank you so much!! You're blessed. Love from Brazil!
Really loved seeing him on Rhythm and Flow. His whole story and how he writes his music is so inspirational. You can really see how he flourishes his art. D Smoke all the way! More music please
Finally!!!! He is the only one of the latest rappers that I listen to today. I’m both happy and proud like I know him. It’s something about the real musicianship within someone’s artistry. Big Ups D Smoke!!!! Continue to shine on King 💪🏾
A musical, Hip Hop, vocalist Genius!!!!! Amazing and talented... Overload of talent all in one package!!!! You are amazing D SMOKE!!! LOVE YOU!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the rawness of this video is what gets me. through the mistakes, police sirens, casual background etc his talent still shines through. D Smoke his definitely goated
It is really uplifting to see media publications really feature artists whose music is actually astounding but also have something poignant to say about their perspective on life. It's incredibly nourishing. Thank you NPR and thank you D Smoke!
How is it possible for D Smoke to be so great even with the stumbles? He's mesmerising and his lyrics are stellar and deeply revealing. Oh, and D Smoke, I want to hear you sing more, stop holding back. Loved it!
One of the most underappreciated artists today. LOVE him and his soul. You hear his passion in every note. And it's not even like hes working to create music. It flows like a series of his own thoughts and they just happen to rhyme
Wow. IN ONE TAKE. You can hear his voice giving out towards the end. An entire concert with amazing, impactful, harmonizing vocals, AND he played the instrumental on piano all by himself. This is art. This is real music.
I can't believe I've been standing for six minutes because of how captured I was by this performance right from the jump. Maaaan D Smoke is a great talent, anyone who says otherwise is just, tsk tsk bruuuuuh 🤦🏾♂️.
Thank you D Smoke for sharing your gift and talents to the world, especially during these times. You are a blessing to the world. Keep sharing your light and gifts.
D Smoke getting the attention he deserves. Wish this could have happened at the actual Tiny Desk studio,
Soon
It will sooner or later
There's no implication that by doing a Tiny Desk (home) concert now, that an artist won't be invited to perform at the Tiny Desk at a later date. Thanks for raising the concern!
You may have talked us into 2 appearances so GO YOU!! 😁
@@nprmusic Love you guys!
I need a D Smoke and Anderson Paak colab in my life right now! Jus sayin...
Hmm that would be fireeee
I though I was the only one on that frequency 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
yesssss
It would be great, but due to how BOMBBB that would be I don't think the world would be able to handle it
FACTS. They are both such good live performers too, it would be incredible.
Tiny Desk, you guys have to bring him in once this pandemic is over.
That part☺️☺️
the way he plays the piano while rapping is just so calming idk why
It’s beautiful. Super relaxing.
Fingerlock homie, dude's really good
I'm obsessed!! Idk what it is but its so good!
While speaking two languages
He's the one for the job, no commas.
When he start with the piano I always waiting for last supper😂
Right!! Gosh I love him!!
YESSSSSSS
Right that’s what I thought he was finna play😭
same 🤣🤣
The actual police sirens during Black Habits II... spine-chilling
ambulance*
@@glawktawk Yea! Nonetheless, iconic won't you say?
@@LilArtLA Hope you mean ironic
Sign of the times. Very iconic.
gives more power to the time you´r living in.
Piano, Best Lyrics, Jazz, and Rap in his own livingroom... Smooth. But, on top of all that he crowns its with humbleness and kindness. RESPECT.
D smoke the truth. I love his songs but I think I almost prefer the stripped down versions. If he put out like an "acoustic album" where he plays and has his songs more like this I think it hits harder for me.

@@OaeFootwear the Alicia Keys one was my favorite of all time. I wish I was in that crowd.
Do ya know how hard it is to play piano like that and rap at the same time, dudes crazy talented🔥
Facts that there's hard . But music in the soul if so is easy.
I've legit never seen it. super wild.
0:05 - *No Commas*
[3:44 / 3:53] - *Closer to God* (6:01)
7:47 - *Seasons Pass* (11:34)
12:40 - *Black Habits II* (18:21)
Thank you 🙏💚
As an older listener, I must say that I'm impressed with this young man's talent.

I can't believe D Smoke is the older brother 😬 Love them both but SiR looks like his uncle.
A different degree of talent. A breath of fresh air
This dude is sooo musically pure, you can hear the passion in is voice... I’ve been impatiently waiting for this album to drop 🔥🔥🔥
It been dropped
Chrishun Dorsey I just found it on A/M, for a min they only had his single and “last supper” upload
Black Habits has been out!
@@ramisrunning Did he advertise it?
@@razz0dazzle He did. A good number of interviews too.

So impressive, lyrics, cadence, emotion, conviction and multi-skilled playing whilst rapping. I'm inspired.
Don’t forget also rapping in Spanish
@@sorandumb4768 and singing.

Excellent job to the bookers over at NPR Tiny Desk! No better time to introduce the world to the amazing gift that is D SMOKE! So happy to see his voice reach new heights!
D smoke just flexing singing, piano and crazy harmony skills in a room by himself gave me the coolest vibe right now.😂
Why did I cry on Seasons Pass...
"Life is but a gift, but you got love to give"
It really touched my soul too ❤️
If at home is this good, imagine at the actual NPR desk. He's just talented. Period.
i watched this whole thing with heart eyes lol he's so fine.
but he's also powerful too. love his artistry.
D Smoke on Tiny Desk? Am I dreaming or am I dreaming?
An incredibly talented artist, D Smoke.
I don’t care what anyone says D Smoke is the $#!t. Talent is unmeasurable
Black Habits II and Closer to God are my two favorites of the album. I can't believe you've shared them with us. Thank you so much!! You're blessed. Love from Brazil!
Really loved seeing him on Rhythm and Flow. His whole story and how he writes his music is so inspirational. You can really see how he flourishes his art. D Smoke all the way! More music please
He has such a beautiful soul, it draws me in to want to hear more ❤️ D smoke and his siblings are sooo talented.

A musical, Hip Hop, vocalist Genius!!!!! Amazing and talented... Overload of talent all in one package!!!! You are amazing D SMOKE!!! LOVE YOU!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a truthful and generous soul in this man. Beautiful and right.
I get impressed when I see rappers who are dope musicians!!
How many artists can come and perform their own projects with no accompaniment?! Hardly any.
To say it politely. Love us not just our culture.
Life has been so hard this year..... Thank you! God bless you
Talent on talent on talent. Refreshing.
Black Habits II was so needed for right now!!! Say it louder “Our Blacks lives are our black challenge” sooo dope 🖤
What a beautiful soul. It’s so evident in the music.

Low key one of the best Tiny Desk performances I've seen.

He's so authentic. Music needs you Mr Farris. 💞
I'm just blessed to hear this stripped down version the whole album fire though and he was gonna be a star with or without Rhythm and Flow undeniable

D smoke much love from the Netherlands. Love these tiny desk concerts.
One of the most underappreciated artists today. LOVE him and his soul. You hear his passion in every note. And it's not even like hes working to create music. It flows like a series of his own thoughts and they just happen to rhyme

Don’t ever sleep on DSmoke🙌🏽💚
