WHATS HAPPENING TO TINY DESK THESE FEW WEEKS LITERALLY ON FIRE!!! OMG!!!
It's festivals timeeeee that's why all those artist are in Europe I guess
The back up singers were absolutely incredible their harmomies were nothing but perfect
The dude is Elliot Skinner from Thirdstory. You wanna hear some harmonies like for real?? Check out those dudes.
Whittney Davis i can’t believe I didn’t recognize him! 😭 he’s absolutely amazing
That Some Girl performance is just legendary! You can tell GoldLink was really affected by his breakup.
Npr coming through with heat these past couple of days, someone need a raise
Daniel Caesar, Tom Misch, Jorja Smith, and now Goldlink. It's like NPR's been going through my spotify the last few weeks
GoldLink just drips soul. He's flawless.
Ayesha Go. I watched two random videos and saw you comment in both ! Girl you are beautiful
In my humble opinion...GoldLink shines more with the live band. Straight killin'...🔥🔥🔥🔥
Totally agree but I guess everyone just sounds better on tiny desk
All my favorite artists in the last few weeks thank y'all❤
4 years later and this is still my favorite Tiny Desk performance ❤️
I mean really how does one even listen to the original songs after NPR? I cant, I've been listening to this for a week straight every morning and night, im certain my unborn child is going to come out singing "dark skinned women"!! WHAT POWER!!! GoldLink You BOSS!!!
Those background singers... damn.
The guy background singer in a band called Thirdstory and it gets better
@@lalalaitskimmm u shole rite!! Tht is him. I ddnt recognize him wit out his glasses. Have u ever ever "still in love with u" by Third Story?? That brotha can SANG!!!
thank god .... that he performed ... some girl ... so underrated
She was looking at goldlink like..😏
I think she was just tryna gauge when to start doing the hmmmmmm. And then the hmmmmmmmm.
This is hands down still one of my favorite Tiny Desk performances. GoldLink really unplugged on this one. Very raw and authentic
Yo the keyboard player low key grooving like there's no tomorrow! My man
First off Mr Goldlink sir .... you have ELLIOTT AND GRACE singing flawlessly behind your talented ass LAWWDDDD What have I done to deserve these many blessing !!!! Also NPR yall have been ON IT with All these amazing artist these last few episodes ... We need Allen Stone now .
When he said he was from DC, Maryland, Virginia, I could totally relate: Born in Maryland, raised in Virginia, got fam all over DC. DMV for life.
@Pio Pius My college best friend is from Maryland (pg county one of thee richest black county in America) I've been going to DMV every yr since I was 19. I'm 30 now. I love it. Black Privilege at it's finest. Very Expensive tho.
For those who aren’t hip to DC/Maryland culture, the pattern the drummer is hitting on Pray Everyday is a GoGo bounce beat. “DMV reign for many Moons”🤟🏾😎
He's so comfortable with the crowd. Just listen to his flow. No one have his voice! unique!!!
We Love You Gold Link!!
Can we please get SiR NEXT!!!!
facts. I feel like this will happen real soon. But in the meantime you can watch his soulection performance which is dope as well
Im back again. I can't stay away. I listen to the recorded versions of these songs and these live performances just hit different....
DO STEVE LACY
For comment scrollers, Steve Lacy is not the sexy black guy on vocals
i’m crying
he’s so fun with who he’s performing and with what he’s doing
it looks so natural
made me big hap
elliot and grace (backup vocals) sounded so good together wow i love this
Waiting for FKJ
They're still working on the logistics to fit all the instruments he'll need
Luis Garcia, didn't think about that but you've probably nailed it there. Though it be good to see him do some cut back stuff, less gear, with a sax, mic, bass, one synth, something like that.
NPR high key been snapping lately with all these amazing artists. honestly so amazing loved this one. 😁😁😁
Grace Weber and Elliot Skinner killinggggg it on background vocals!! Almost didn't recognize Elliott, but that tone and those riffs !!!!!
The female vocalist gave this whole set life!!! Especially during Dark Skin Women
If i see Brent Faiyaz on this next, i think I'm going to die right then and there.
who is responsible for the lineup lately it's TOO good
OH MY GOD YES
Bro goldlink is the man. Definitely gotta squeeze him into my list of favorite rappers, cause the list is small. Pray very day is the jam. Wish he had played zipporah.
this version of bedtime story is so magnificent to my ears
Me: Tom Misch, Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith, and Goldlink.
Can't get better than that.
NPR: Next up, Khalid.
Timara Williams Oh I wasn't indicating a preference, but Khalid's Tiny Desk is up on their website already :)
Back-up singers were amazing, probably the most enjoyable part of the video for me
@@graceweber hats off, you did your thing on Some Girl🔥🔥. Lol I now prefer your version over the original💯
Those backing vocals though! Beautiful....Thank you NPR
He's good we need more music !!!! they need to play his music more on the radio! 2022
When he started singing, I lost it. 😻😭
lets work from south africa next to Vaal University of Technology and I am a soulful dj and you?
That backup singer in love with Goldlink lmao
Mads Rahbek ***Grace Weber. Look her up, she’s pretty dope. Elliot Skinner, other back up, is part of a group called Thirdstory. Talent all throughout this!
Anyone else just come back to listen to the vocalists harmonies!? 😍❤🔥
Grace Weber & Elliot Skinner ❤❤❤
Just what I needed! What’s next Kaytranada??? Y’all can make anything go down NPR
Goldlink is literally flawless ❣️
Everyone dressed chill AF .. then zoom in to the trumpet player lookin like he’s about to go to prom 😂 .. great set ✌🏼
FINALLY seeing the voice behind the pray was beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Girl came out said the most gangsta prayer and then just walked off lmaooooo
@@securityofgod It is said in the description she's her cousin
Goldlink can siiing!?? Why was I sleepin on him? I stan his vocals
Goldlink so chill
Cat Lives Matter Durden I just said goldlink music is chill if you ask me everyother race on this earth should pay us black people the most humble and chill individuals on this earth not to forget extremely forgiving and helpful and we continue to get fucked over by everyone and abused but I digress let's just agree goldlink music is chill and not have this discussion to divide us
You are the gift that keeps on giving. NPR THANK YOU FOR BLESSING MY PAST FEW WEEKS 😩😩😩
Can Outkast perform next. Yeah, I'm requesting Outkast the hip hop duo 'cause they're the GOAT! 🙏🏾😇
I love it that he raps and sings 🙌🏽💕🔥!
Grace was looking at goldlink like “ this man spitting”😂she was vibin💯vocals were extremely on point by everybody 💯Goldlink did his thang as always 💯
My favorite new artist. (I know he’s been around since 2015...)
His song "Some girl" is very good song!!!
I didn't know him, but I came to liked him immediately.
The back band is the best, too.
I always come back to this video! I wish Steve was there to perform Some Girl 😢
Why doesn't this have more likes? Love GoldLink
Ive had this video saved for 2 years and just got to it on my watch later. 🙏🔥 then he starts with my favorite song !!!
Just heard him on a track with R&B Songstress Mýa (Yes, she has new music). Had to come check him out. Where have I been? I am digging these concerts!!! NPR gotta strike up a deal to release the audio on iTunes, Google Play Music, Prime or something so I can jam on the road. I love these renditions. And please get these people some AC...
Wish this was longer! Hope he does a second session soon! Love his music
Back up singers carried 💯💯 been rocking with Goldlink since ‘18 when I started dating a girl from VA
I love how raw he is. That’s my boy DMV stand up!
All the Artists, you guys picked the last couple weeks are my favorites. Good choices.

I've had a lot of "first times" with NPR...and you've yt to let me down...thanks 😍😍😍
Ethan Feldman I've never heard of Taen but thank you for sending the link to me. I love his sound... it's very smooth and relaxing. As soon as the song Too Much came on I knew it was going to be good by the beat alone then I heard him and that sealed the deal 😍😍 thanks again Ethan 😊
I am HERE for that harmony! Elliot & Grace givin me chills!
worst thing about this video was this video coming to an end, i bet many more great videos otw
my guy on the keys iss vibinnnnggggg. he passes the vibe check
How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back.
