[@nosnowmen1977]

Broken bones are stronger from the breaking, no the dangers in the bending.... Dessa , one of my top 5 lyricists on my list

[@johngalt05]

Joshua Jack mine too

[@supermansher0]

Dessa is the gold standard of live performances. Hands down.

[@brandonminnis7070]

I am so glad to have had the pleasure to have Seen Dessa and Cecil perform this live on several occasions. This is one of the best live performances you will see, glad to have this version on KZbin to revisit on-demand.

[@TehKillerB]

I will never stop getting chills from this performance.

[@laynesimon578]

There's something about Cecil Otter's voice.

[@dpjpq0]

agreed - Dessa is obviously amazing, but Cecil is equally great imo

[@scottmckinstry1698]

I agree, his voice is just so outspoken and his lyrics are really thought out. He's definitely my fav in the Doomtree lineup.

[@TheNukeGeneral]

I completely agree. his voice is meant for rap. adds so much power to the already incredible lyrics.

[@amberlee4536]

I wish Cecil would put out more stuff. He's amazing but he just doesn't put out as much stuff and it's a pity.

[@cgtz9526]

Amberlee not sure what he does, but he has a full time job. I have seen multiple doomtree interviews where the other members says “yeah Cecil is at work” Lol. So it seems like music is part time him and the other members are full time. Even though he is a lot of Doomtree fans’s favorite member.

[@awakebythesea]

Big ups to everyone involved in this production. Cecil is always solid and delivers smoooooth education. Dessa is a wild woman. Lovely! Aby Wolf has her claws in me. Love from the west coast of Canada!

[@ApolloSe7en7]

Listening to this gives me shivers and tears. I hope I get to witness Doomtree at some point in my life, I'm obsessed, easily one my favorite track

[@dogbark]

I'm so in love with this

[@rekkless91]

i cannot believe the talent these guys have... doomtree as a whole is incredible but cecil otter and dessa are a combo no one can begin to challenge. this song blew my mind this music is so underrated its disturbing... for the sake of your fans and the people you influence daily keep making music!

[@MrDonphilipe]

Excellent song😊❤

[@XodustheParadoX]

I just randomly came across this! pretty awesome!

[@MrSweetWort]

@IAMBOOGiNS That's Aby Wolf and she is mad talented in her own right, understand how she ties into Dessa's music and you will get a better picture. She has a great voice and is obviously passionate, don't mistake passion for annoyance.

[@RayaTheHeavEhand]

"If you welcome every trespass, then every trams a guest/Give what they'll take from you then every thefts a gift" Wow. Just wow.

[@Rabdure]

The talent on display is hard to believe.

[@isingrandomsongs]

I was at this show. So beautiful :)

[@Worship629]

So pumped I was here, the violinist is so good

[@teenageleela5874]

2023 and i still prefer this performance over the album version. and i still have a crush on cecil in this video.

[@alyssakay4923]

Polica and Doomtree.... loooove.

[@CptFoolKillah]

How can I like this more than once!!!???

[@GeminiEye1314]

So damn good. Much love from the STL.

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

Cecil is a goddamn poet, cant get enough of this stuff, so much better then the album version, i wish they could record thing and put it out as a download!

[@22Angst]

there are several free apps to rip music from youtube to an mp3.. just search for it

[@Pahloord]

Creativity, and here, genius, have no boundaries, it saddens me to see people are arguing in the comments on that video, there's no time in life to do so, use your time only to listen to music like that, cause this is a real music diamond, I can't find words to describe the awesomeness of what I just listened to, these people should keep up that awesome work, 'cause this is simply one of the best things I've ever seen & listened in the world, HANDS DOWN !

[@PECKELXXX]

thumbs up to the epic back up singers!!! and this one's a timeless live collaboration!!!! cheers!!!

[@vanillak0]

You classy, beautiful bastards. This is awesome.

[@skrevies]

Goosebumps, very raw & amazing!

[@MrSweetWort]

This is such an amazing tune, Cecil is so talented and Dessa is already some who you knew when! With No Kings, Doomtree firmly cements itself as one of the best acts to ever come out of the 612!

[@comadose25]

I would've gladly given one, or both, testicle(s) to get to see this whole concert live. Such an awesome performance I can only imagine how great the rest was. Goosebumps. Doomtree is amazing as a whole, and Dessa and Cecil Otter are amazing as solo acts (or a duet) as well. The KEXP set on youtube is fantastic as well. You can really feel the soul behind the music when the perform live. If this was some bizzarro-universe where I had never heard of Doomtree, this video alone would be enough to cement their status in my list of favorite artists.

[@rogermucroy750]

Love 2.00 when they both smile at each other.

[@S0phie92]

This is amazing, I always loved Dessa but I never realised how talented Cecil was until I heard this on No Kings.

[@johnperez8333]

Again absolutely amazingly well

[@isingrandomsongs]

Haha awww I know Cecil was complaining that Dessa made him wear a tie for the event! I was there and it was hilarious :)

[@femmemommy]

The 'business casual' matches his look in general, and seems to also match his personality too. Then when he opens his mouth... holy shit! The conservative HS English teacher dude, and the dope emcee contrast.... is so much more effective!

[@angsta22]

Pretty sure I'd wear a tie too (UGHHH!) if Dessa told me to. lol

[@ThePowerWithinOnline]

Hauntingly beautiful. I LOVE Doomtree!!

[@PuncherofSouls]

Crazy, loved this. Hope they gonna drop a live DVD soon.

[@KissedbySunlight]

@IAMBOOGINS the point is that she isn't necessarily part of the whole. Dessa intentionally uses her as a featured vocalist in most songs. If you watch live performances of most of her songs, Aby plays that role. However, on some songs (Kites) Aby calmly "chills" in the background, content to harmonize.

[@josephbroeckert22]

Thanks for the inspiration.

[@pudela]

Dessa is breathtaking!

[@dogbot04]

Absolutely fantastic. :)

[@mililarosa]

Amazing! Talent.

[@Pamplemousse825]

I love these women!

[@bellajenna87]

my favorite doomtree song, ever!

[@dddgmap9672]

Yes man! Love it.

[@DieVeganerin]

The violin in this live version adds so much to an already gorgeous song. I wish they had included it in the studio version, but regardless, I love both versions.

[@Feedurehed]

Sweet! So sweet!

[@tylerlebens13]

every person performing in this song emanates cool

[@jdelgadoesteban]

Amazing...

[@raised16]

Amazing & unconventional song!

[@NinaKlockseth]

Ohh... chills... friggin awesome :-D

[@ohvallll9288]

Dessa and Cecil Otter combo is so killer.

[@curiousintuition]

These people can put together good lyricism. This is another good example of a different hip hop. Not Common in today's world. It's exceptionally well. Not many know this type.

[@Reifenthaler]

this is probably one of the most powerful songs from the new Doomtree album No Kings... and this version is far beyond epic. The whole Doomtree lot is a gang of frakking geniuses. TEN thumbs and toes up!!!

[@CommentaryHipHop]

Unreal.

[@miyavise7en]

yes that is Chastity Brown on back up

[@JonDoe-zh7rj]

Dude, they had a violist for accompaniment! I think this is the first time I have ever seen that happen

[@JustAKonsept]

@S0phie92 you've been missin out! Cecil is a really really really good rapper. and producer!

[@kickflipssavelives]

This is Classy.

[@worldwar2lucky961]

Before me, someone posted 3 years ago. WHAT THE FUCK. Doom tree deserves more than this 😁😁😁

[@OdderMoniker]

we'll make a little money then we'll buy a little mercy. boom, tears.

[@angellucass]

cecil looks like that Cool high school teacher most girls had a crush, and most guys wanted to be like him.

[@MrNtron]

damn cecil otters voice is fucken amazing...dessas too

[@simonvanderwerf]

Simon says I love all of you!

[@awakebythesea]

cannot even fucking believe this was posted eight years agoooooooooo

[@CanderHipHop]

Dope!!!

[@Pamplemousse825]

Sweet!

[@b1rdbath]

i was at that concert- row 1 seat 1

[@MortyLivingston]

Cecil is the fucking bee's knees in this. He has one of the best/unique voices in hip-hop today. I usually don't argue anonymously over the internet but hey... You're wrong.

[@a7x4lrev]

They are incapable of doing a bad performance.

[@SteRoKra]

I love Doomtree, Dessa is great here, but Cecil Otter... what can I say about him? He's simply amazing.

[@TheRealFilthyfletch]

Was just told to look up Doomtree to check them out but couldnt get into them as a group to electronic trip hop for me but then I came across a song Dunk Tank Travel with POS and Cecil Otter..that was dope. Didnt expect it after trying to listen to the group project but as an emcee Ceil is the essence of emcee story telling so Im gonna dig a bit deeper...Check my guys out couple new tracks we put out...The Rec Center..Mozes Gun.....

[@Bif33]

It's on No Kings, the newest album.

[@MissCarolineHolly]

Polica singer... how did this come to be? Curious.. as two good artists emerge...

[@eyedeasneverdie3348]

You could spend hours deciphering and analysing every line from a Cecil verse.

[@therealchickentender]

How much more prescient can this become?

[@pajarraken]

uff... they play in another league ... are geniuses

[@JustAKonsept]

Well that's because it is!

[@robmarsh6668]

I found out about doomtree and co. through a trampled by turtles playlist. What a revelation.

[@timchapman3840]

fucking amazing

[@Brandnewshoes]

Yes! Yes to everyone responsible for making all of this happen!

[@hootie017]

Cecil Otter needs to put out more content - nothing rushed that would ruin quality, it's just the is not much of a catalog

[@Reifenthaler]

99 bucks for the DVD with the whole show !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@beaunafyde]

no kings, no pigs. just damn good poets.

[@pajarraken]

tándem perfecto

[@Noah-vt4ef]

Cecil Otter cosplaying a high school math teacher

[@PeteGK08]

Doomtree is always pushing hiphop forward, in every aspect of what they do

[@bryanhoule93483]

dessa is really pretty

[@jenhocking4751]

damn hot violist! Perfect fit.

[@MajorAssplay]

fuck yes

[@polkadon1066]

Can anyone provide the credits for the other artists on Stage?

[@oneshadyveggie]

Dave Hagedorn! My main man.

[@worldwar2lucky961]

Let's just say that they are good based on their education, which I googled. That being said, I do not like much before or after the no kings album. SO ,,,,some kind of magic happened and they absolutely killed it when they made no kings. I can hear it all day and it always brings tears to my eyes, without fail

[@seanr1013q]

is that paper tiger on drums???

[@quintennelson3279]

Doomtee will get what they deserve one of these days.

[@MShepherd88]

What album is this song on? I've never heard it before, and I feel like I'm fairly aware of Doomtree collective releases.

[@KerouacManana]

Is that Chastity Brown singing backup?

[@boomwaddis]

Damn, Cecil Otter is fine!

[@artemenborisov7055]

so fucking live & hot

[@MattTheFlyDude]

Cecil cleans up nice! haha

[@grooveman247]

0:34 tell me you dont get goosebumps.

[@bberg82]

Cecils looks like a little church boy singing in the choir. LOL

[@depitydog]

till it hurts me... and it hurts me killer. i was gonna say it looked like Aby is gonna axe murder the other two a couple of times but it looks like it's been touched on already, haha

[@zombievsrobot]

Can you give some examples of "real true emcees"? It will be easier to gauge your opinion that way.
