Craft live w/ bands are my favorite

[@panchov3129]

It's like no other but he feeds off the crowd like crazy amaz9ng performer

[@PonchoedPenguin]

Hits different for real

[@SweetlyTroubled]

Yes!

[@prelude2pain]

The way he flows with a band is simply great. The one he did with cheat code is still one of my faves.

[@SamuelLouisSchaefer]

There's something really beautiful about watching craft in the present day perform younger craft live. You can feel the same intentions being carried through time, while the manifestation in present day is truer, deeper, and an example of the growth that has occurred from the dedication of those original intentions and principles! Much love

[@davidtimmons9900]

Marlon, I'm older than you and I once had dreams of being like you. I get more and more alone every day. I'm not like you, like I wanted to be. But it makes me glad that you're you. I've been following you since you uploaded The Static to KZbin. Back then I still made shit. My faith in myself faded but my faith in you never did. I'm glad you didn't give up on yourself. I believe in you. I'm scared of being alone. I'm so fucking sick of everyone around me. I saw a truck today with a bumper sticker that said "Music Helps." It's true. Thank you Marlon Craft. You make me feel more powerful. You make me feel like it's gonna be worth it.

[@jmdjasonday]

Bro, heavy shit I just read. A dark hole is a hard place to get out of. Try something different, I hope you're not on the booze that's a vicious cycle bro. Go out go to the same places build familiarity with those around you. Form healthy habits. Believe in yourself. You're worth it, you're you, you can be happy and the world does love you.

[@iTzWiCkedd]

I tagged MC on twitter at some point last year asking if there would be more live sessions. Dude took the time to actually respond and say 100%. Kept his word, and crushed all expectations. Truly been an honor to watch this dude grow over the last 7-8 years.

[@lonm6928]

Yeah, we gonna need a whole live band album. On wax son! Still screamin from the rooftop MARLON CRAFT IS THA TRUTH

"Whole lotta obstacles. I got past 'em/ Used to laugh at the kid... but I got the last one!" 🔥

[@staglione79]

[@nolanwilder5130]

[@aceintheplace805]

Good shit MC

[@timmmychanga]

So beautiful 🔥❤️🙏

[@COVID--zo3ng]

So good pls do more

[@adamhaney2196]

Marlon is so fuckin underrated. Makes all white rappers other than Em take a seat

[@TheJawjaBoi]

To borrow from a line Marlon said to Funk Flex, Eminem might be a better Eminem than Marlon Craft but Eminem is not a better Marlon Craft than Marlon Craft. Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon and Hades were all Greek gods for different reasons. When you check the Pantheon of HipHop you'll find Eminem and Marlon Craft, side by side, for different reasons...

[@firinne]

It is SOOO good to see you right now, my man. This type of energy got legs

[@dimitriodee]

Speak your truth Mar ! Fabulous version , band seem to be having fun too ❤

[@DevConneKt]

Holy shit

[@elric6834]

How did you know I was starting a new job last Wednesday? One week in, and I'm trying to decide WHICH department I should get promoted/transferred to. Bummer I just started listening, but I think this was the right time. See you in Chicago bro

[@devonbocka226]

This dude should do the main vocal theme for Garo: City of the wolfs!

[@ianfreddy3804]

SF could you you at the independent .

[@bhoffman8984]

Y’all are so locked in right here. Only rapper/live band on the same level musically and lyrically (ever) is The Roots. Not to compare the two, just sayin Marlon looks WAY too comfortable here to not have an actual band with these cats as permanent members. Who cares about catering to rap fans who slept too damn long anyway on a future GOAT when you can rock like this, still rap your ass off and appeal to a wider audience who will appreciate Marlon so much more?

[@ronaldnorman413]

Nice as expected but please put Leah back on the live track because ya'll two are undefined

[@frankbrenner4852]

Holy F-ck this boy is the truth. I slept on dude but no longer. My guy is bananas.

[@shawnvaughn91]

Jrap... a second favorite only to Progressive Djrap. If you don't know what that means ask your nearest metal fan.

[@Warface]

Is it just me or the guitar muted? Can't hardly hear it

[@iTzWiCkedd]

Tiny Desk ducking MC for real...

[@Loudpants]

I need a marlon craft × eric jamal collab to happen

[@SlutForInstantNoodles]
