D Smoke: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@emlylunar]

D Smoke getting the attention he deserves. Wish this could have happened at the actual Tiny Desk studio,

[@mrterry1756]

Soon

[@AndreiBerezin]

It will sooner or later

[@nprmusic]

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!

[@bluehalo8604]

You may have talked us into 2 appearances so GO YOU!! 😁

[@amatto-y1w]

[@dz562]

Tiny Desk, you guys have to bring him in once this pandemic is over.

yesssss

[@krysten-gracemcdonald3657]

It would be great, but due to how BOMBBB that would be I don't think the world would be able to handle it

[@SidneyOcean]

FACTS. They are both such good live performers too, it would be incredible.

[@smnedb961]

the way he plays the piano while rapping is just so calming idk why

It’s beautiful. Super relaxing.

[@100ljmb]

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.

[@chrismdev_]

D smoke just flexing singing, piano and crazy harmony skills in a room by himself gave me the coolest vibe right now.😂

[@abaneyone]

As an older listener, I must say that I'm impressed with this young man's talent.

[@AndreiBerezin]

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.

[@abaneyone]

@@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!

[@TruthandChakras]

Yes he is dope 💜

[@LadiiRiece]

I am INFATUATED with this talented, intelligent, and beautiful man! He is so powerful...I am here for it.

when SiR hit them notes at the end babyyyyyyyy

[@MsSugarDyme]

I can't believe D Smoke is the older brother 😬 Love them both but SiR looks like his uncle.

[@yardmanAD]

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]

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.

[@walkerstalker1939]

@@OaeFootwear the Alicia Keys one was my favorite of all time. I wish I was in that crowd.

[@shannonbutts1686]

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 💕
