How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
Doc is slept on in general. I personally see he's in the same god tier as J.I.D, but J.I.D. was just blessed with that voice that translates to live performances so well.
i have such a crush on everyone and everything about spilligion. I wish this had more songs, but im so thankful they did hapi and jupiter. Honestly, those 2 songs are so perfectly beautiful, and they just hit the feels when you listen to them. Personally, i strongly think and believe that this album should get RAOTY, and AOTY. Great production, great lyrics, a wide vareity of sounds and emotions perfected and made by a cast of unbelievably talented artists. Spilligion has cemented itself as one of my faveourite albums, i strongly believe that it will continually and always hold a special place for me. BEAUTIFUL ALBUM. THANK YOU SPILLAGE VILLAGE.
Loving the new age hippies! These beautiful flower children are speaking out through music, so godtasticly, music to the soul 🙏🏽👑 This was too short, lol, my first time looking back at a "tiny desk", wondering why it was not longer.
The USA is currently going through an artistic renaissance. There’s so much good new music coming out to even catch it all. Atlanta is killing it with these guys but they ain’t getting the love they deserve
I feel like Olu is so underrated as an artist. I had no idea he played guitar (he played electric and acoustic) and he's one of the main vocalists. Big ups.
Imagine how INSANE the bridge is gonna sound when they're infront of an audience, with an entire stadium chanting "SO HOPEFULLY YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED"... I wanna be in that crowd.
Bro.... i was in tears during Hapi, then the bassist had his verse. Finished me off. This was incredibly moving. I feel so lucky to witness these stars coming together ❤
I have been pumping this daily (more than once) from a few weeks. Love, pain, beauty, resignation, power, persistence, strength, TRUTH and a vibe that is like cold, cold water on a hot day. Thank you for the gift all you beautiful people, sharing a vibe with us. I am a 50-something white lady so I know this isn't 'for' me, but I just praise the good earth and sky for sharing with us. Peace and Power, y'all!
Started tearing up during happi when Benji's part came on and then started bawling when the beat picked up... I needed this. Thank you. It's been a rough few months and this truly picked me up.
It makes me so happy this super group exists. As individuals they are more than competent on their own, but together they’re even greater than the sum of their parts. Like, all of them together embodies, “living your best life”.
please go listen to jurdan bryant's music. he doesn't get nearly enough recognition for how talented he is. wildfire, my life, and can we still hang are crazy. please keep making and releasing music jurdan
He needs to release more music! And put out what he has on more platforms, you can’t find anything of his own on youtube only songs he’s a part of. Like, Fake Freckles from “Sundays by Benji” is so smooth, more people need to hear it

@ 7:32 Thats that band mate supporting each other right there. wonder how long they got to practice before this. such a fire performance and they adjusting on the spot.
each song was was a work of art. happy spoke to me so deeply. they are so incredibly talented and we are so lucky they share this magic with us. black art needs to be cherished and honored.
I have C-PTSD and sometimes I get triggered into a really traumatised state (it feels extremely uncomfortable and unbearable) but the energy of these guys - the camaraderie, the music, the wholesomeness (especially JID’s personality) - makes me feel a sense of safety and comfort. Having an episode now and this is helping so much. You can sense the goodness and authenticity and wholesomeness through the screen. Their strength and playfulness rub off on me energetically and make me feel safe/encouraged.
The chills. The gold. The power. The talent. The excellence. The unity!! Thank you Spillage Village and also NPR music thank you all so much for the hard work.

It's a privilege livin when Spillage Village is killin it like this.

Its a Spillage Privilege
why is JID slept on is beyond me
why Earthgang is slept on is beyond me
why Mereba is slept on is beyond me
JID is not slept on, please.
They are not...
In the black conscience collective they aren’t by the mainstream possibly

Forreeeaaal!!
Factssss
for real i lovr it its like natibe tougnes

Benji killing his verse then grinning about it afterwards just made me so happy
The coolest summer camp counselors you'll ever meet

Not enough people talking about that Doc verse on Baptise
I fell in love with him.
His eyes stared into my very soul
I love the way he said "is it worth whatcha really givin up" doc and venus always have the best energy
It's so good!
Doc is slept on in general. I personally see he's in the same god tier as J.I.D, but J.I.D. was just blessed with that voice that translates to live performances so well.
So we are not going to acknowledge the fact that it's the third time Mereba gets an invitation to the Tiny Desk
Which was the second (besides the obvious one?) would love to see that too.
@@bildotunechi Bas
@@bildotunechi she was in with bas as well
bc shes goated
I hope we see her a fourth time
docs facial expressions and physical presence are unreal he’s such an underrated performer and so entertaining to watch 8:24
Absolutely! 🥵
He's energy and carissma is for real
the way they're so in touch as a musical collective but all shining like stars individually
Yes!
the words i wanted to say but couldn’t form.
I can't believe Olu kept his shirt on the entire time...kinda
If I had abs like him I’d never wear a shirt either
yeah im thinking its cause NPR didnt let him or he felt like he was in a church and should keep the shirt on
if it has been a longer session no doubt it would come off
It was automatically slipping off towards the end
Dude
Bears like this trilogy was fire. New album fire. This is like soul hip hop and r&b in one . They’re one of the best collectives in the generation.

Reminds me of Funkadelic
Well....I guess I have to buy a new album now.

They sound like they smell good
they look like they smell good
Like Nag Champa incense, patchouli, cocoa butter and chandrika soap🥰😍
They stink!
i know mereba smells good by that voice 🔥
bro?
Why do I smell cocoa butter and vanilla through the screen. They’re so talented it’s ✨astronomical✨
cocoa butter and frustration to quote Mr.Chappelle lol......but yes this is wonderful

This was too short, lol, my first time looking back at a "tiny desk", wondering why it was not longer.
JID verse on “baptize” is a candidate for verse of the year
Dr. Was not shabby bruh
The verse was all around great but the technicality was just... ridiculous... to say the least
Meh, it's not bad...
What wowgr8 verse was S-tier
Nah
You Can't tell me this wasn't just Positive energy in the physical realm. I felt this, You felt this, WE felt this!
the bassist suddenly having a verse felt so good it felt so honest and humble
Bruhhh the bass throughout this entire album is honestly impeccable, it is so cleannnnn
Benji is honestly one of those gems that you’d wish had a hundred more songs but you’re just happy when you finally get 1
That's Benji bro! Great artist all around, can play instruments, produce, and rap
The USA is currently going through an artistic renaissance. There’s so much good new music coming out to even catch it all. Atlanta is killing it with these guys but they ain’t getting the love they deserve
I feel like Olu is so underrated as an artist. I had no idea he played guitar (he played electric and acoustic) and he's one of the main vocalists. Big ups.
I knew olu was one of his names but i’ve only ever heard him referred to as johnny venus lol
@@jackwitkow612 I think they changed to going by Olu and WowGr8 but they will always be Doc and Venus to me lol
@@TheCube2424 i dont ever think Venus publicly said he wanted to be referred to as Olu, which is his first name, where doc/wow changed his artist name
@@TheCube2424 Facts!!!
And he plays drums and produces, true talent
It’s sad everyone is stuck on the same type of music these days but these guys right here are just different and it’s so amazing💯
Nobody gonna talk about Benji’s verse at 13:26? Man is a god. One of the most talented groups of musicians out there right now.
When he started playing basssmd kept rapping I knew he's a talent 💯
Louder for the people in the back
He is crazy live. He can get a crowd lit af
Never listened to this guy before got some awesome mac miller vibes from that verse. Loved it.

Can’t even express how happy I am to see all these artists together . I mean just wow
JID : I-
MEREBA : Queeeennn

Spillage village is definetly the most talented collective i've ever seen tho🔥
Nobody:
Doctor Dot: 🙄

Doc was feeling this one😤
FR I loved it, just couldn't help but vibe with him! 😤👊🏾✊🏾
He got so much spirit in his performance
Every single song sounds better live. How are they so talented
God Hapi is such an unbelievable track. This crew at their best is breathtaking.
can we just park at Benji’s bass riff at 16:37 aaand Olu’s reaction ahahahaha yesss
The best musicians are those who don't just achieve admiration by listening to them, but makes me want to join them. Like these folks. Thank you
"Look just put a tiny desk there. Nobody notices but we have a reputation."
Lol
😂🤣😂🤣
haha i didnt even notice
legit didn't see it until I read this comment on my third time listening lol
Consider this as the second coming of Southern Hip Hop, you heathens.
Ayyy
Krit would like a word
If that's true, then I'm all for it
Southern hip hop never left tho lol it's dominated the radio for the last 2 decades

May the most high rise you up brother
hope you do well Ben
Olu's voice don't need no auto tune. Mereba is amazing. They're all so great. Best hip hop collective is the Dreamville & Co.
This is Spillage Village, not Dreamville, but I still approve👌
Spillage Village is under the Dreamville Record Label. Why said Dreamville and Co.
@@MrRex111Thanks, noted.
A group of highly talented, underrated people
"Hapi" giving me such Nina Simone vibes... thank you... what a STUNNING production!!!

Earthgang needs their own Tiny Desk! But I'll take this👀
JID too
Still waiting for this to happen 🥺 I made a petition last year and everything lol
If Spillage becomes it’s own label, I wouldn’t be surprised 😂
Most of them are signed to J coles label, Dreamville.
They like all singed to dreamville
