It was an honor to be in the room for this. Can't wait for the album 🙏

[@conceptdivine]

I believe it, that's some nasty sax work though too my man! 🔥!

[@VanGoHAF]

@@conceptdivine i second this. its good to see someone who can appreciate when they know they in the presence of something special too. I've felt that for many songs created

[@HokiePitcher22]

You guys killed this..

[@guitardadsinc]

Jacob Carlson bro thank you for your presence on this session I really appreciate this video. You tell your boy he’s making some fans that will never leave him!

[@stevenmccann5807]

Love music done this way. All in the same room...true art form

[@ohkay8265]

in 3 minutes he goes from calmly story telling, to drawing the energy from every person in the room delivering heat. Passion.

[@darkskinwhite]

one mic, yup

[@DillHurley7]

This comment got me hype for this now lol

[@ThisChangeIsAwful]

This is my favorite style of rap. Rapping with a live band is just amazing.

[@Lothar526]

bro search for the band "militantes del climax" they are from argentina very underground

[@DillHurley7]

Smino performs witha live band.. At least he did in Philly. I was pleasantly surprised

[@bjoernheil1766]

@@Lothar526 checked them out, nice recommendation. Love the sound but spanish vocals are always hard, hate it when i dont understand lyrics.

[@angelguerrero7655]

suggestion: Watsky performing "Energy" live Sonreal performing "Try" Live you wont regret it

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

actual skill involved. i remember seeing yassin bey, just rapping over his own full track, the worst shit i've ever paid to see live.

[@adamkhaliid]

“Theres a lot riding on my like porzingis knees” still hit different in 2024

[@fesy734]

Bro you actually sound unique and different. Honestly I’ve never wanted someone to get the fame and recognition as much as you should. Keep it up your time will come.

Jeff Trinkle bro what I just put in my opinion I said he would make an amazing duo with either artist do I really need to explain that to you

[@MarlonCraft]

appreciate y’all for real man. much more on the way. please preorder the album if you believe. let’s show the world: sameplate.lnk.to/funhousemirrorpreorder

All the respect in the world bro, big love. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

[@Absquatulationist]

You can see the band giving eachother looks like 'oh shit, this kid's real'.

[@JJ_Trooper]

They already knew bruh, its the fact that they all be rocking and having fun

[@DillHurley7]

I can't read their minds but all I know is they seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. energy like this is contagious

[@fangent4781]

2:03 look at guys in the background "Dude you listening?" "Yeah fo sho" "He's slaying the mic" That's what I imagine just looking at their faces

[@jesselewis7347]

@@fangent4781 I'm not psychic, but I am a Bassist. Dude flubbed a note slightly, and looked at his drummer, because that's the only other person in the room who'd know if you didn't play your part %100.

[@fangent4781]

@@jesselewis7347 Oh aight. Thanks for clearing it up 👌

[@frankmendoza8824]

STAY ALERT, ITS A BABY GOAT

[@JaaferHaidar]

"There's a lot riding on me like Porzingas knee"....damn, lyrical genius.

[@AvantR]

I still remember when Craft said "I was a rapper, now I'm a musician." I see what he meant. The other lives he has are dope asf also

[@DillHurley7]

Musician/ artist / nice human

[@rawrglar]

Bro this is one of the best songs I've heard in a minute. Lyrics, soul, and self-awareness. Craft forever.

[@JayDaGoat.]

Crazy mood change, I felt the vibes 🤯

[@findtriXbe]

Mannnn. As a mid 30's guy who grew up listening to Hip Hop that told stories.. that made me think about things, this is IT. Thank you for not only this song, but the strength to put yourself out there. Much love and respect.

[@MnnicE15]

You can tell by their faces they’re truly enjoying playing this. It’s a beautiful thing

[@taybradley3843]

It's crazy how he used dribbling as a metaphor for overthinking and self-doubt. Instead of shooting (his shot), he dribbles instead. His rhyme scheme to end the first verse is crazy. My favorite part of the song is the "shooter's shooting, I can't only dribble now"... "I've been living rental style, I think it's time to own me/" because it shows he finally figured out that he's holding himself back. He was transcending. You don't just write that without believing and feeling it. I think that resonates with a lot of artists... Self-critique eats away at a lot of people that would make it if they got out of their own way. I wonder if Marlon is upset that it took him this long to pursue his dreams or if he feels like he was right on time. Best rap song I've heard in a while. I got the same feeling when I heard War by King Los or Sing About Me by Kendrick for the first time. I really appreciate the attention to detail and effort Craft puts in his music. Playlist material for sure.

[@LegacyKeysMusic]

The ball is in my court.. I don’t think they understand!! This track hit my soul!!!

[@RowdyPauu]

RIP Mac Miller.. Felt his inspiration in this one

[@TheFestifarian]

R.i.p for sure but this dood is no where,near mac style wise

[@winnyjstew]

the groove the summer went into at 2:40 was really smooth

[@theherbpuffer]

I dabbled in Marlon crafts discography here and there over the last couple years, but after the last couple uploads, I'm a fan for life! Pure poetry!

[@davidarmah2]

Live instruments + great rap = GOOD MUSIC

[@erry9895]

Just when ya thought hip hop was dead. Marlon Craft has entered the game.

[@---GOD---]

This is fucking beautiful... real art..

[@kamikazi1912]

The passion is seeping out

[@realpowerfulmusic]

Badass!

[@Orangeslice229]

You can see how fucking happy everyone in the room is just to be apart of playing this song and enjoying every moment

The solo at the end was cleaaaaaan

[@thehanke]

Just no words. That flow. Damn Craft. Damn.. Rise up boy. Rise up.

No one going to say shit about the vocals of the woman on the hook through the track just killing it..The Sax too...Marlon Craft I've been listening for a couple years....I'm a kid from South Africa and imma make sure my block and my country listens to you

[@Rievers2860]

Everything I love about hip hop👑

[@enxch]

It’s crazy to me that gang shit has like 350k and this amazingly crafted, goat level vibe status jam has only 30k. Don’t get me wrong, gang shit is incredibly thought provoking and special as well. But damn man this vibe right here is something other worldly. Not many people possess this level of talent and soul. Endless props to you Marlon. Your work NEVER disappoints. 💯

[@kalandemumba4970]

Amazing work as always

[@beansalad3785]

It’s a ritual to come back and listen to this absolute banger

[@leftclot]

eventhough i know they're both very different even in styles, idk why i keep getting Mac Miller vibes off Crafty. I mean.. i think its just their genuinity and passion for music that stands out

[@ts-wo6pp]

Their mannerisms also pretty similar tbh

[@Bestbeachesincalifornia]

def thought about mac listening to this one!! so beautiful honestly

[@sc-ii5yv]

Mr.Marlon you keep me coming back to THIS.Brilliant.

Can't go wrong with a great lyricist accompanied by a great band playing hip hop music.
