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. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
This sounds better than the album, he might want to take note. The live instrumentation and his voice fit perfectly. Maybe they'll use more of this for His next album
YES INDEED, Return of the Cool & Drug Lord Couture sound GREAT with live instrumentation!!! those little guitar riffs in the background just add so much to the music
This first song is so smooth I gotta comment before I hear the rest. NPR will put you on to some great music that isnt even in a genre you would normally listen to.
I'm so sad that Dave East is getting the push Nick Grant should have. It really is in who supports you and it's so unfair. Nick's content and drip are just.....better.
I really like this and I'm white that ok? Lol reminds me seriously of digable planets. Love the boys are playing the music...only one thing would make this better for me and have one of the others singing that chorus with him. Sick flo bro
Matthew Gluf Dude! I admit, I was a little high the first time I saw this performance, but I'm almost certain that none of those guys were actually playing live...lol Especially on the first track. Watch closely, their playing doesn't match the track that's playing...ijs

Tamisha B lmao!! He'd be good to see live.
Lmao exercise
Huge fan over here I just started listening to his music after that Feds track dropped
guitarist got chops, the whole thing lit tho
The band is tight AF. I would've loved to hear him sing on a couple of trax tho.
Jeeeezzz THAT LAST VERSE WAS FIRE!
drop the social experiment one!!!!!!
I love his cut/hair! So cute and sharp.
you guys need to book SZA immediately. this was great though I love the concept

He got that Jay Cole vibe!

Cool.
Woahhhh I like him
Loving this but why the band looking so unhappy? Just seems like when the music is sounding good they would be feeling good! maybe that's just me.
Dope
Why doesn’t NPR do the same thing Colors does and upload the music on iTunes as well?
DREW!!!
I'm getting The Game vibes from his flow. Slow, effortless, confident.
Can y’all PLEASE GET MUSIQ SOULCHILD
Does Ryan have anything to do with this great freestyle?
Can SZA come pleaseeee?
can I get a Nahko and Medicine for the People session ?????????!!!!!!
Great performance and flow - kinda weirded out by how his band looks like they don't want to be there?
I was thinking the same
Maybe they're just super focused...they bob their heads, but they do look like they're afraid to mess up lol Dope performance though
Matthew Gluf Dude! I admit, I was a little high the first time I saw this performance, but I'm almost certain that none of those guys were actually playing live...lol Especially on the first track. Watch closely, their playing doesn't match the track that's playing...ijs
