It's tough, but, usually when I buy an album from some tiny desk artist, album versions become close to as good for me, sometimes even better. Plus, you get so many more songs!
She's insanely talented. She can sang, she's got bars, and a really good flow, and she can even do dancehall too. I love how she refuses to conform to industry images standards too.
So underrated. It’s a shame. Her, Dreezy, Rapsody, and Tierra Whack are soooo dope. It’s always Cardi vs. Nicki but these girls are being overlooked and they can really really flow.
@robinhood123454140 well kid, you're clearly beyond "high" if you missed the kilotons of talents sat around this here desk, and your eloquence (or lack thereof) makes me think you probably dont deserve to understand how good and pockety this shit is anyway.
The way tiny desk records people sound better than theyr album 90% of the time. They should produce stuff 4 real! Or at least press these amzing performances on vinyl!
It's just like??? Rapper's hold 'freestyle' shows up on such a pedistal. But even though these jams were hella rehearsed, they were so put together! Like this is a SOLID group with a WHOLE sound. I don't wanna hear ANYONE tryna knock it before they hear it!
@@neat1757 He's on his way there just give him a little more time and you gonna see him everywhere my bro go crazy ... just wait we gotta whole team coming we finna take over the whole industry
I love this version of Girl Blunt reimagined and sprinkled with psychedelic fairy dust. At the same time, every song performed here is served up hot, fresh and delicious. 😋
@@davidlodico6367 a show on HBO created by Issa Rae based on her webisode "The Misadventures of an Awkward Black girl." Both shows are very entertaining!
She is a true artist!! Find all her old projects .. All these media outlets push rappers that cant rap when under their nose shes is a "baby Missy Elliott" W/a Jay Z cosign #Brooklyn
If the rhythm section is happy, then EVERYONE is happy. And this was one of the happiest rhythm sections I've ever seen. Everyone was so tuned in and played every part perfectly, and the drummers high smile is quite infectious with the rest of them as they are all moving perfectly in sync keeping beat
Bruh!!!! This is definitely one of the most insane performances I’ve seen.. bruh all her songs were so different but all were killing, girl blunt had me screaming, this band 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥. Simba Scott killing that bass, Justus west just amazing on guitar, Portier killing both keys and vocals & Timmy versatility to play all these different styles, straight killing!!!
I love how she takes time to introduce & appreciate her band - then proceeds to set a whole mood - then at the end calls them "Black Boy Joy" 🔥 Gotta hear her live 🇰🇪
Got disapointed with her studio material, cause it is all that typical rap thing production. But this, jazzy with this band, is pure rhytmin blues, like both traditional and innovative. Can´t get this Tiny Desk tracks on Spotify it seems
THIS IS PURE JOY GOODNESS TRUTH IN THE POCKET MUSIC. Leikeli and the TSA band, you just gave me all the feels. Can't help but move to this infectious music. SLAY
I hate her and I want to cuss her out because I can't stop smiling and bopping. Got my damn cheeks and neck hurting. Lol. She's bad and the musicians just made her more dangerous. Let me go start this shit over for the 4th time. Lol. That BITCH!!!! (and I say bitch with nothing but love lol)
I love all of this. I hope she records with the TSA Band. I went to her TH-cam and the versions of these same songs are good there, but wow, the renditions in this video just blew me away.
I don't own a welcome mat ..give me the proper feet to stand back.... Kelis is Gawd...so is Beyonce...so is Leikele This song makes me fix my crown whenever I play it! 👸🏿😘
I've been listening and loving NPR tiny desk performances for years, but this performance did something for me that has caused me to do something I've never done before. Subscribed. Hats off NPR, Hats off. Bravo!
I've noticed the jazz/hip hop fusion is gaining traction recently or maybe I'm just discovered it never went away, I wish much success to leikeli47, looking up their music right now
it definitely went away for a bit, it still isnt back cuz there was a time when it was really mainstream. De la Soul, Digable Planets, A tribe called quest. No acts out now are on that level in terms of the jazz/hip hop scene.
@@jbill7808 yes but that scene definitely lost traction, are Digable Planets that big anymore? Or can you name an act now with a jazz hip hop sound making waves like they did in the mainstream?
Saw this in my suggestions and only came because pink is my favorite color and was wondering why someone would wear it on their face. I figured, she has gat to sound good! She did NOT disappoint!!! Never heard of her before tonight but now Im an INSTANT fan! Well done young Lady, well done!💝
Not only so much talent behind the mic, but so much talent in the TSA Band. I have no idea why Leikeli47 hasn't become more successful, or why this concert isn't at 50 million views, but I'm sure one day her talent is going to be appreciated.
I knew I would love this woman when I listened to Girl Blunt and LL Cool J - there was something about her that I instantly loved. This live blew my mind!
Woooo this is the first time I'm listening to her and this is a vibbbeeeeeeeeeee. I'm gonna be checking her out now! Thanks for putting me on tiny desk!
@@thesmellycatjazz acoustic is the wrong word but you get what I mean😂... It's a showcase for "you" to show of vocally, musicality: I've never seen anyone play the song exactly as the radio. Everyone has explored with a live setting and no one has used a dj. Granted, I haven't seen all.
@@sapphirejones7302 it depends on the artist. Anderson.Paak, Tom Misch, and several others have very similar energy of their studio and live performances. It's one thing to have a more complex arrangement for a live setting. It's another to completely abandon the original feel. T Pain is a perfect example of this. His Tiny Desk was nothing like his original work, and it was shocking. Now flip the script and you got this. I absolutely love this version of artist. When I look up her albums, it's no where close to being as good. And that's a bummer
Finally, Leikeli47 here at Tiny Desk! Ahhhhhhhhh! Imagine Leikeli47, Anderson Paak, PJ morton, Lizzo, Tank and the Bangas, Yebba, H.E.R, The Hamiltones, Jorja Smith, Vulpeck, Snarky Puppy, Lala Hathaway, India. Arie, Erykah Baduh, Lenny Kravitz and Daniel Ceasar etc were in a music festival, honey, I’ll be gooped.
The genuine perspective of her lyricism mirrored by the talent of her backing band is something on a whole new level. If she keeps them around and collaborates to have more tracks like these renditions she will be a force to be reckoned with. This performance was a glimpse of what the future of music can be, she can lead the way and I really hope she does. Everything about her is very well thought out and just on another level, I Stan.
extremely inspired by her work. she's super original and has such catchy and fun lyrics. she really is a rockstar mixed with a ghetto chick in the best way. biggup leikeli47 and the TSA band!!!
I've been listening to Leikeli47 for a while. So good to see her on here. I'm so proud of and happy for her. Glad to see she's getting the recognition she deserves.
THIS IS UNEXPECTEDLY PLEASENT AF, been binging on her sauce all week, now this Love her presence, voice and hoodie 😎 Shoutout for her shinning light on this black boy tsa excellence behind her
I kept seeing this and kept overlooking it bcuz of her image. Thought it was foolishness, then I listened!!! This women is fucking 🔥🔥🔥. I love her tone whilst rapping and then she sang and the band began to really play! All talented AF! Didn't realise girl blunts and money were her songs! New fan 100%.
Woooo, her TONE!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Didn't know she sang (and I do mean sanggggg), but it makes so much since given her tone. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Loved it, and will be looking for a live show!!! Also, the piano player's feature (I think she said his name is Portier?) was amazingggg. Loveddd.
@robinhood123454140 trash?? You Sir, have lost your mind. She barely sang on this performance. Did You even bother looking up her music beefier this comment?
Sa-roc, Tierra whack, Doja cat, iamddb, Kali uchis, Nathy peluso, princess nokia, little simz, Sevdaliza, Etta Bond, Jada kingdom, rendezvous at two, Mick Jenkins, Dounia, j.i.d, masego. Just to name a few for the next show 🤗💚💚💚💚
This is crazy off the bat with them dancehall sounds. That was like the least palpable intro to a tiny desk segment I've ever seen. You've gotta have an evolved knowledge on all of these genres to truly appreciate the amalgamation of all this coming together. This was incredible and props to anyone to sit through it and hear it for what it truly is. This is an incredible blending of the most influential and iconic sounds embraced by the African American community since the 60's. 💖🤙🏽

You can use a video to MP3 converter
@@taylorlayton4508 I love the originals but the rendition of Girl Blunt here is also really dope.
Thumbs up for the earrings through the mask!
Lmaoo
Lol thanks for pointing that out
Matt Jarrett yaaaaasss!!!!! Lol
My motions: double-take, cocked head, nodding. Yup, it works
Oh shit, wtf XD
That’s cool
I really like how jazz and rap slowly blend together..
Arnaud Chevalier they both stem from broken rules, they were meant to be
well check the 90s east coast stuff, but i get what you mean. peace
Jazzmataz? Gangstarr?
has always been like this... the recommendation of jazzmataz is a very good one, but so cool to see it coming back to the roots
Jazz bleeds into rap but not the opposite, except for some more fusion stuff.
She's insanely talented. She can sang, she's got bars, and a really good flow, and she can even do dancehall too. I love how she refuses to conform to industry images standards too.
She is a seriously talented artist!! That's why she stays on repeat, she really does it all.
For real.😸
@fuckregistration3 aight
Thank you, she blends the old and the new the RIGHT way.
A real rebel 🙄
So underrated. It’s a shame. Her, Dreezy, Rapsody, and Tierra Whack are soooo dope. It’s always Cardi vs. Nicki but these girls are being overlooked and they can really really flow.
They're too good for mainstream/doesn't deserve them.😉
I TOTALLY AGREE! Rhapsody is next level. Add MuMu Fresh to your list as well!!!!
8:45 her pianist needs his own tiny desk damn wasn’t expecting that
He was fire,,,what a treat!!!
It's on her album!
Together they rocked it but ol boi has pipes!
you aint lyin
Yesss! I replayed it 3 times
Yeeeah I wasn't ready for this AT ALL... 🔥🔥
Side note: Shout out to the bass and the maestro pluckin' it's strings, 🔥💪💪
Same. What a delightful slap in the face!
Right!
Did the guitarist play with Mac Miller and thundercats on another NPR tiny desk concert? He looks familiar
@@lmca08 yes that's him Justus West
At all lol she out cold
Finally leikeli47 getting the recognition she deserves! Her and her band killed it 🔥

The way tiny desk records people sound better than theyr album 90% of the time. They should produce stuff 4 real! Or at least press these amzing performances on vinyl!
agreed
Agreed as well
why vinyl though? sound quality is garbage
Simon Barth Acrylic has great production imo
Acrylic is FIRE.
1st, I love this young lady! Did a little research on her, and found she'll be in my city next Saturday. Tickets PURCHASED! Thank you Tiny Desk!!

Her voice is everything!!! Watching the drummer gives me pure joy❤️❤️
Her pianist is on another level

For real! I saw this when it first came out and I no back and watch it like once a month. 😂 this junk is hittin! TSA!
Its a pretty big desk tbh
For real!!!!!!🔊🔊🔊
The piano player needs his own Tiny Desk tho
Tiny Desk needs more piano players in general tbh
I'd be satisfied with an instrumental version of this set.
Right?!! I was not ready. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@jaseneffendy17 ya more jazz hip hop style. they got tons of classical.
His blues intro wasn't nearly long enough!
Sis had me vibin. Then the piano player started singing. DAMNN 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I cried😢
She’s showing more of her face ... we got brows😍
Right?! I feel like she flashing me🤣🤣
Lol right! At this rate in 2 years well get a whole face and I'll be shook
Haha I noticed this tooooooo. It's an epic slow reveal!
Hahahaha
So true!
The most underrated Tiny Desk to date.
The drummers smile is infectious! He's Def having a good time!
Her music was already top notch, but with a live band?! I cannot deal. How does a Monday morning feel like a Friday happy hour?
Seriously tho
@robinhood123454140 Sorry you don't have an ear for good music. Enjoy the rest of your miserable life
robinhood123454140 lol you’re so boring. Let people fucking live. Music is constantly evolving and changing be openminded
It's just like??? Rapper's hold 'freestyle' shows up on such a pedistal. But even though these jams were hella rehearsed, they were so put together! Like this is a SOLID group with a WHOLE sound. I don't wanna hear ANYONE tryna knock it before they hear it!
Zintle Mvana sure tf don’t her w/the live band made her music stand out even more w/more meaning. I love her as an artist PERIODTT

Facts
Netflix needs to have a concert series with hip hop artists like they have with comedians.
Thats a Factory😎
yes brother!
It would have to be artist who would never be showcased on radio. Like leikeli47.
Pitch it to them 🙂
Same guitar player from Mac Miller Tiny Desk performance. 👍🏾
Jason Williams Justus West 👌🏾
Respect
I was trying to figure out which one he was on
thx man, was hoping someone would clear that up for me
so the band is not hers? they hired them just for tiny desk performance?
I'm a new fan.. that voice.. this groove! shine Queen 💕
Leikili47 with Tank and the Bangas would be an amazing treat
Jonathan Simpson yesssssss! I’m here for it!

She only 🚬 girl blunts
Got disapointed with her studio material, cause it is all that typical rap thing production. But this, jazzy with this band, is pure rhytmin blues, like both traditional and innovative. Can´t get this Tiny Desk tracks on Spotify it seems
gurl bye! Come on Total propic! I think she makes a reference to them on her song Ho.
Leikeli47 is awesome live. She switches it up when she has a band V.S. a guy backing her up with a computer. @leikeli47 is 🔥regardless though!
Sis is an entire mood 💜
Should 100% record an acoustic album. This seriously amazing
THIS IS PURE JOY GOODNESS TRUTH IN THE POCKET MUSIC. Leikeli and the TSA band, you just gave me all the feels. Can't help but move to this infectious music. SLAY

This is crazy off the bat with them dancehall sounds. That was like the least palpable intro to a tiny desk segment I've ever seen. You've gotta have an evolved knowledge on all of these genres to truly appreciate the amalgamation of all this coming together. This was incredible and props to anyone to sit through it and hear it for what it truly is. This is an incredible blending of the most influential and iconic sounds embraced by the African American community since the 60's. 💖🤙🏽
This whole thing made me groove and smile. ❤ her so much! Bring her and the band back for another one!!
