    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.

    To NPR: massive thanks for hosting one of my all time favorite bands (and so many others), Tiny Desk deserves a spot on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.
    To Mandolin Orange: massive thanks for your beautiful music over the years. There's much melancholy in much of what you do, but also an unyielding feeling that things - somehow ­- will work out. Hard to explain but that's my gut feeling every time I hear your music.

    Their music always reminds me of home. Staring up at the stars on a summers night, campfire going in the background, cicadas louder than ever. Even as I lie here miles and miles from home, I can still feel the grass between my toes and smell the smokey air.

    I'd had been watching them far a while when this happened. Such a great choice for tiny desk. These two have created a few song that transcended themselves and we who listened. They wove an emotional rope into the past and pulled into now and tossed it into the future tug of war that still is and will continue. The futility of grieving, the hope that travels on, the stupidity of war and hatred all riding on the melody strings that plays within us all.

    In 'The Wolves' the women they sing about is the Statue of Liberty and how the doors of America are being closed to people. Fantastic song writing for troubled times.

    I fell in love in the first 10 seconds🥰🥰🥰🥰 NPR not only brings people's favorite artists, but it introduces us to artists that we may not have known. I'm just grateful to be a lover of all things music and that NPR gets it. Any genre, any time🥰

    I keep on coming back to this. This duo is in such a perfect sync and harmony, I've never heard anything like it before.
    AND, I want to point out what a good mic selection this was. It's incredibly balanced, complimenting the balanced duo. I want more of this!!!

    Not sure a 52-year-old father of 3 adult children is their target demographic, but this may be one of the most relaxing breaths of fresh air I've felt in a while. And I do not like when artists, male or female, or judged by their looks, nor use them to sell their songs. So this isn't about looks. But how did she know at 1:38 to open her eyes, and be staring right into the lens...into our souls...and then immediately glance away? It had a hauntingly beautiful effect on the performance.

    I don't think you can truly understand how masterfully this is produced until you listen to most of these bands live elsewhere. I've watched a ton of their concerts and I always find myself back at NPR. A ton of talent behind that camera.

    Just found these guys today. Listening to their studio recordings is one thing but hearing them live in a stripped down setting makes it so much better. I can feel their connection, drawing out words the same way and the dynamics are so balanced. For some reason it's almost like they're trying not to cover each other up by being too loud. The result is perfect balance.

    I've watched around a hundred of these Tiny Desk Concerts and this one, the simplest so far, has moved me to tears. Maybe being 76 years old has something to do with that. Inspirational performers who make me impatient to get back into my studio writing, playing and recording.

    Mandolin Orange!!!!!!!!! I love them so much. So many great songs and killer albums that you can just play without having to skip the ones that are kinda lame, because every single song on the whole album is smooth like butter and it just melts into the next one. kinda like their harmonies
