I've had your tracks on a blank usb stick and loved it. Play it religiously but never found out who you were, just enjoyed it. Now I'm credit card in hand downloading like a happy child in a sweet shop. Keep up the music it's awesome 😍❤❤
One of the best Tiny Desk! Checked it out for Raheem, and got so much more. 💎💎 The band, the message, the MC, the Sistar with the spoken word. AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the motivation!!!! After losing my brother and bandleader to murder I haven't touched my bass more than twice for over a year, after listening to this episode not only do I have tears from your lyrics, but your bassman reminded me of my purpose in life which is to minister through music. May the MOST HIGH YAH barauch (bless) you. I hope y'all don't mind me posting America on my Instagram.
I downloaded this album on ITunes when it first came out! Raheem De Vaughn is one of my favorite male artists, this group is the bomb , thought provoking ,soulful!!!!!
Thank you NPR Music Heaven for this wonderful concert and thank you The Crossrhodes for playing and singing the truth! PS The Crossrhodes: You are amazing; a tour de force! PPS This is one of your top ten concerts.
Can't believe just 86k views, all the group is fire! Even while I can't understand all the lyrics 'cause in not 100% fluent in English I can feel the groove and musicality in this. Kudos for all of them!
Every week I gotta give thanks to NPR & Tiny Desk for helping me to discover amazing and inspiring music. Much love to you for consistently shining a light on these gems of artists.
I see unity here with my brothers. Speacial shout out to my caucasian bro on that 🎸. Thanks for making the music complete. I'm jamming over here. Thank You
