Action Bronson Tiny Desk

The NPR Tiny Desk Concert has emerged in our culture as a pinnacle of artistic intimacy and musical authenticity. This amazing concert series, hosted within the confines of an office workspace, carries a profound prestige that transcends a lot of traditional musical accomplishments. You watch all of them to date here 🎧

This setting not only highlights the true prowess of musicianship but also fosters a sense of connection that is both intimate and authentic. It is essentially the new-age version of the MTV Unplugged series from the 90s and early 2000s 💾

This series has become a coveted platform for both established musicians and emerging artists to showcase their talents beyond the confines of conventional studio recordings. It serves as a career-defining milestone for many, offering them a chance to connect with audiences on a personal level. I mean, who can forget the legendary performances of Mac Miller, Tyler, the Creator, Anderson .Paak, Usher, Snoh Aalegra and T-Pain (just to name a few)!? 🙏

But I say all that to say, Action Bronson, probably one of the most well-deserving and fitting figures in hip-hop, just received the honor of performing on this highly-touted platform. And let me just say - he put on a sensational show. He performed an authentic and stripped down medley of some of his best hits, including Dmitri, Live from the Moon, Latin Grammys and Baby Blue. Plus he had an amazing viral moment while performing Terry 👇
