- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bobby Carter | March 3, 2021
Jack Harlow's Tiny Desk (home) concert feels like the arrival of a rap superstar. Tucked in a homey-looking space in Los Angeles surrounded by bookshelves and vintage furniture, the Louisville, Ky., emcee delivers a performance with the confidence of an old pro. His set, however, is the first time he's relied solely on live instrumentation to bring his songs to life. "It's been a long time since I had a chance to perform and I've never done it like this," he says.
This is a far stretch from the kid with loose curls and specs frolicing with his hometown friends, but his success should serve as a reminder of the importance of artist development. He's been able to slow cook for a few years, consistently dropping mixtapes and visuals until he landed a big hit last year in "WHATS POPPIN." That performance earned him a Grammy nomination ahead of his very impressive debut album, Thats What They All Say.
For this turn at the Tiny Desk, Harlow, his band and some background singers deliver a megamix of highlights from the album. The orchestration underscores his sentimental and introspective side on songs like "Same Guy" and "Funny Seeing You Here," but it also elevates the melody, which is the true hero here. Over the past few years, the 22-year-old rapper has steadily ticked the boxes for a successful career, and this showing undoubtedly checks the performer section.

I wish Mac was still around, him and Jack Harlow would have had an amazing collab.
Facts if Mac got jack on some swimming production I think Itd be hard
Man just comment that
That Caucasian connection.
Facttttsss
Broooo that would be iconic
Live band hip-hop should be it's own genre. It's an entirely different spin on the artist's music.
FACTS
facts
This needs more likesss
If you haven't heard Mac's "Live from Space" album with The Internet...must listen
you should go to a rap concert. like a real "rap" concert. you'd love it bro
So sick, the band is unreal too
Are you tired of this world and the way you're living? Believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved!
This is the Gospel of your salvation
1 Corinthians 15: 1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
You can give your life to God right now. Repent for your sins, trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life. Have faith and say this prayer.
"Jesus Lord I know you shed your blood and died for my sins. I know you were buried, and you rose again on the third day. Please forgive me for my sins. I give my life to you Lord. Thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen."
He Ain't Playing No Games
Real music takes talent!
@@serexsalex9345 your phone number!
My favorite part mate
I wish they’d rerelease the album in this style. Totally groovy, I could listen to this on repeat all day
Lol funny to see someone else watching this today. Had the same thought, Creme hits very different in this session.
TH-cam to mp3
amen!
SAME...same
Yes!
we need more hiphop artists performing with live bands
All we need. Roddy Ricch's was also excellent, for example.
Most of them can't
Het got cole vibes
WE HAVE THEM...CHECK OUT THE ROOTS. THEY ARE MORE THAN FALLON SHOW PRODUCERS.
@@ruenenkanewton4862 True but we were referring to new generation rappers.
He’s dressed up like a starbucks vanilla frappucino in the glass bottle
Lol bish wat 🤣😂
he is LOL
Lol okk
👀👀
so specific yet so true
Crazy he blew up with “what’s poppin” but wasn’t able to perform because of COVID, now he’s bringing all the Heat! I hope his tour is all with a live band.
Hello everyone I’m a 16 year old artist/singer, my mom said if my recent music video “Realestk - Tuesday ” gets 1k likes I can get a new mic, it would mean a lot if you could come help! 💫
@@RealestK how about you grow up and get a job. Work for about 1-2 months and save every penny, then you could buy your precious mic. But that’s hard isint it :( it’s so much easier to go online and leave a comment.
@@RealestK i really wasnt expecting quality from a spam, with you sound good man, keep working on your sound, watch out with soamming to much
it ain’t crazy, bro. man knew exactly what he’s about and what the people would pay attention to. leaned into it to get us to him. patience pays!
HE BLEW UP WAY BEFORE THAT..........SMH
Humans are so cute sometimes. Just playing their little instruments to make sounds that sound good, radiating happiness. Love it!
lol yes
This made me smile so haaaard hahaha ¨̮ We really are cute huh
Tf are you an alien??
What planet are you from? 🤣👀👽
Favorite TH-cam comment ever ♥️
FIREEEEEEEE
collab👀❤🎷
COLLAB👀
Collab brother
Collab 👀🎷🎤
His whole band is black....
Thanks to tiny desk I've finally found my favorite genre; hiphop with a live band. It just hits different
Same
Yezzaaa. Justin bieber's session also best
💯💯💯💯
Check out heiruspecs then.
Facts, Mac Miller (RIP) with the live band, is always a great re-watch as well on NPR Tiny desk Concert.
the band went crazy! Especially on What's Poppin. Jack did his thing too but props to the band!
Totally agree
100% agree, it was fire🔥
That was like a grammy performance. Whats poppin live is unreal
@@TheArtofDiverseThinking runt trht6
This!!!!!! RIDICULOUS ...especially the piano and drummer 🤧🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💝🎼
That whole band is vibing. Look at the smiles on their faces while they grooving.
Glad I’m not the only once bumping this 2023
Enjoying what they do. Luv it!
So lemme tell you about the musicians, cause they killing. The guitarist “freakyrob” and drummer “rico” play and tour for Kendrick Lamar and are sick 🔥🔥. The bassist Joe Cleveland plays for Miguel and he is nasty on the bass and lastly Dr O is the keys player and arranger for Justin Beiber. This band came together to create 🔥🔥🔥
So far in my viewing, they're doing excellent .
The band the band the band gotdamn
Dr O is hasn’t MD’d for Justin. Definitely for Ella Mai
@@kensmichel7061 he arranges for Justin. Harv Is Justin’s bassist he is the MD
@@israelmusic8098 Harv is the MD and Doc O works out Harv’s ideas and arrangements and programs the show.
Jack is really an r&b guy that can rap.
he’s got that rnb soul flare
fr kinda remids me of mac a lil bit
So true.

Jack being dressed like butter, is the equivalent to how smooth this concert was 🔥
Creme de le creme
@@rbvibezz6686 purrr
Fr i like that fit
Good one
@MIAMAYA You metaphor is so delicious it made me hungry.
i love his personality. he just radiates swag and confidence.
Yesss Girl he does
Frfr!👋
Which is so 110% turnaround from where he came from cuz he was super not cute super geeky He could still rhyme He could still rap you could still spit but he didn't quite have a swag yet or his good looks
@@michellewilkes5801 he’s always been cute stop
I THOUGHT THIS TOO
This had way more soul and gospel than I expected. just wow.
i perfer this way over the actual album, so much more life
It highlights the words and the message . He's good live.
Almost like he has a full band
Jack is on 🔥
Hes a country boy remeber that
He's really learned how to deliver his lyrics, the bars and talent have always been there. But now he's got his style down and his voice of reflective energy.
O
He’s definitely talented but the band and background singers tend to always steal the show in these Tiny Desk Concerts. Amazing
They definitely steal the show and I think it's for the better. In my opinion it just enhances the entire song
The band makes him 100% better. He should leverage them more.
Yep, live instrumentals just have a better vibe to them then fully digital productions. Plus I think it's more classy at times
@@ebitdareadthebook1535 I agree.
Delta hits DIFFERENT different, jesus
Yo! FR! Real different
AYYE Its GG
We got room we got room
thought the exact same thing lol
RIGHT???? One of the best tracks on his album too

Yes! Thanks I appreciate you.
"step into my world like Narnia, I wouldn't do no harm to ya" is an underrated and subtle lyric and the delivery is equally beautiful.
Yeh I was shook too.
This guy is versatile af
???
@@levicohen7333 what you mean "???"
Right when his album came out I was like oooo he can sing too let’s go
@@cuteanimalsforlife3075 that his songs are very different and all of them are good, i think. in that, i agree
Flow is tight! About as tight as them pants 💎🙌
😂😂😂
😅
The more famous you get the tighter the pants get I guess
Those aren't even that tight just fitted haha
Those jeans are tight...lol
You can tell by the way he presents himself that he was literally born for this!
He has been rapping and making music since he was in like middle school
@@feliciablankman5738 He discovered that he can rap since middle school. Then he is born to do this.
Yes CMack I was agreeing with u man (eye roll) 👁🤣
Agreed. He's in the pocket.
@@feliciablankman5738 so like 3 years?
This version 21C/Delta is so beautiful. Really showcases the writing.
I am surviving cancer. Healing from surgery last of 7 in the past 4 years. It has taken it toll and left it's scars. I am here. Healing. Your music helps. Thank you so very much.
❤❤❤❤❤
nicd get well soon!
You surviver! Wishing all good for the rest of your precious life!!!
Get better There's a brighter day tomorrow if can get through the night
Keep pushing! You got this! 💪🏿
I'm getting Mac Miller and J Cole vibes. Hopefully this experience inspires the sound of his next album.
Thought the same thing
bit of dwake too
bit of post maloney?
My thoughts exactly, let's get Cole on the production of some Jack tracks
On same guy I heard some big Sean vibes
This is seriously one of the best tiny desk concerts I’ve ever seen.
Must not have seen many tiny desks then....
@@dalekay9ine Bro I’m talking about concerts.
Idk Megan the stallion and Jazmine Sullivan are top tier
@@Etcetera_Etcetera_ mac miller tops this easily
@@Justin-fj3sm Cool.
Energy from his back up singers was 100%
I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed, he should definitely start performing with live bands more, it was amazing
The band was on point and he was too so they went great together 🔥
I feel like 21c/delta was always meant to sound like this.
I swear they need to release this version on music streaming services it’s way too smooth
@@mapiluna9414 The whole flow of everyones performance is just too good
SOUNDS EVEN BETTER
that’s my favorite jack song and that opinion just got furthered by this performance
He's hidden behind Jack, but the bass player is KILLING in the back
The one and only Joe Cleveland!
Literally!
Jack Harlow is the one who is "hiding" behind this incredibly talented and authentic band. like why did he choose to have an all black band? Does it validate his image?
@@JanetteKing what? lol 😂
@@JanetteKing L
He should tour with a band - this is such a vibe!
Especially for CHTKMY it would’ve been soooo good
the chemistry between him and the background vocalists is so rawww I love it
Harmony!
I just love how hype the band is the whole time. The guy on the keys specifically is going OFF and I'm here for it
He plays for justin bieber aswell
@@mellebo4112 do you know his name
Both guitars too 😍😍😍
I love to see musicians play music you know they truly enjoy playing because they put that passion and love into every note.
I know a lot of Harlows presentation is his cool, slick, charismatic vibe that most love, but I would’ve loved to see him let loose a bit more like the band in this video. Still a great performance
These engineers must eat, sleep, and breath sound this is mixed perfectly
literally 😭
Underrated comment
was thinking the same thing
So good
Absolutely pristine mix
He needs to release an album with these versions 😭😭
The only way this could be better is if it was longer
That's what she said
@@Mos3sofficial 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 gootttiii
@@Mos3sofficial 😐
@@Mos3sofficial gottem
😏 😎
This band is too good. They made “what’s poppin” better than the original.
They really did.
he actually bodied this. He's just so smooth with it
The band is everything..
@@celestinecarroll3449 the band was it
They KILLED What's Poppin. I was really impressed with this performance.
facts Jammed out
Every comment here is positive. A rarity on the internet these days.
Everybody really do be vibin’
Yuppp
When the music is that good you cant help but to appreciate it.
So refreshing!!
I love that when the people on the left aren’t saying anything they just keep vibin to the music
They’re background vocals that’s their job LOL 🙄
@@ThyBrokenhartedx & don’t forget it’s because they are black and background vocals who are black always vibe♥️ that’s how it’s done in black church choirs🙏🏾
@@moniquelocke5325 Facts ☝️
@@ThyBrokenhartedx no it's a compliment like they don't just stand there they really vibin with him haha
@Jacob Barber neither does the original comment. Did that not fit your description of “ nothing to do with anything” for this video?
Is it just me, or are these songs better this way then on the album?
I agree
These are the song on his album sped
@@adamspizzareviews7070 Thats not what he meant. He meant this live version is better than the pre recorded.
@@adamspizzareviews7070 ur the sped😂😂😂
True
I’ve watched this video an unhealthy amount of times. These songs were already fantastic but this performance takes them to a whole other level. His storytelling and cadence is just mesmerizing.
Literally same 🤩 obsessed
Charisma
Mesmerizing is the perfect word for it
We need a whole album version of this asap
Frrrr
facts
Yesssss
Big fax
Big facts!!!
this man brought Kendrick Lamar’s twitter out of a 2 year retirement... 🐐🐐🐐
whatyu mean?
@@jodovalley he liked Jack's tweet and its the first thing he's done on twitter in 2 years
He should bring his “friends” around more often. Everyone killed it. 👍
Fr the musicians absolutely killed it!
It's so crazy how, even through video, you can FEEL that energy. Not only is Jack Harlow a talented lyricist, but that band is out of this world.
His backing musicians are actually some of the best session guys in the biz. This whole Tiny Desk is one of his best all around mixes of sound and lyrics.
This was far better than I thought it would be. Not that he's a bad artist, but this was dope and shows growth.
It about tripled my respect for him as an artist
Growth, he’s been out for like a year, he’s just talented.
@@ronnieradke9240 definitely been an artist for longer than a year and his music has matured with him
@@ronnieradke9240 he's always had a bit of a fratboy vibe, but this concert helps add some character to his music and persona
@@DK-bb1wd have you listened to Gazebo from 2017? It’s the sound of a bright, anxious 19 year old kid trying to mature. I like most of his stuff, but I feel like it’s gotten more and more like lothario music. He was always labeled a nerd bc of his appearance , and now ppl think he’s fratty/bro, albeit a relatively thoughtful and well-meaning sort. He genuinely wants to be great and exhibits way more artistry than he generally lets on. This transformation and change in perception has been strange to witness, but I do think he’s legit talented. Eastern Parkway and River Road alone show he can really write and spit when he’s inspired. I like the kid-I think he’s got a good head on his shoulders
I give this a 12/10. The way he performed was good, the lyrics of he's songs was excellent, the band was straight fire. The transitions from song to song was fire🔥. Note this is my first time listening to Jack Harlow and its my opinion don't hate me 🇿🇦🙈❤️
PLEASE tell me you've gone back to listen to the rest of his discography! it's so good
Yo, me too and I agree with you. How good is this dude!!
It’s ok hope you enjoy his music:)!!
Howzit Ameer I agree brother 🇿🇦❤️🔥
and you'll never stop listen to
I am 65 years old and I absolutely adore you and your music!!!!!

11:24-14:50 Creme/ONCE MAY COMES
15:25-18:16 What's poppin
Fly in the spirit ❤❤❤❤
Jack singing on Same Guy is ridiculous. Man sounds just like he does on the record. Amazing
No bc this version is better than the studio versio with adma levine
theyve done a little autotune on the vocal there, but his voice is still amazing!
If Jack don’t stop playing and give us a studio version of that Rendezvous performance 🔥🔥
I want a studio version of all of these
Here 9 months later and the arrangement still goes CRAZY
we need all of this songs's versions in spotify for f*** sake!!
Say it louder!
These??
I have it on my phone.
Today Jack gain another fan. I was very impressed. This what's poppin. This man has lots of soul.
same here
Amen.
Yessss sirrrrr
Creme sounds EXACTLY like i expected. Def the most slept on song on the tape
No cap
@Kentucky Unlucky nah
@Kentucky Unlucky why do you think its the worst
@@superbia5150 I get the same vibe idk why. I think it's because the beat wasn't in sync with what Jack was offering on that song but in this live version omg is was definitely one of the best ones. (Who am I kidding? They're all hits💀)
FACTS
He said its his first time performing solely with live band? ITS SO GOOD - I even prefer his songs this way. He should just create a whole album with live band
Can we please get same guy video next. The choir go CRAZY!!
YESSSSS
I think best friends is up next.....can't hold that Breezy ft too long. BUT same guy is my stand out from the whole album......and there are more than a few joints on there
especially with his old songs! they would go so hard with this band
The Drummer and the Bassist deserve their own Tiny Desk. They killed it!
my man on the keyboard the hidden mvp
Legit
Jack Harlow actually brought his homies to The Crew League, just letting yall know
Big W for him, massive L for Russ
@@greysonadams7131 jack doesn't own his master's but russ does.
@@taylorstep1413 is this Russ’s burner account? Also I do not care lol
🤣🤣 keep dem chain going
😂😂😂
The vibe he was giving off when he started singing Creme / ONCE MAY COME is everything 😩 he’s so handsome
Band is so energetic and you can tell Jack feeds off it, rhythm and flow was a total vibe, great Tiny Desk
This man is going for his and he is doing it with such undeniable finesse. It’s like he has been here all along. He is going to get his with no problem. Other MC’s should not feel comfortable with Jack Harlow waiting in the wings for his shot. He is going to be eclipsing many careers
this guy is moving like he already had a whole carreer before ! You cant deny when you see greatness in action
Gotta have the Vision first
You could really tell that lady was really feelin the “9-5 but she wanna be somebody” part
3:12 for context
3:50 for the money shot
Love how they used both the trap drumpads and the live drums sets together. Brings the best of both worlds. And ofc the rest of the band and jack really popped off
This quickly became one of my favorite Tiny Desks of all time.
Gonna be real, dude grew up right down the road from me, and I'd never heard of him before this, it's not easy to make it out of KY, you gotta be the best of the best to get any attention, so mad props.
Plus the music is fire, hopefully just the beginning of a long successful career
Yeah but at the same time he's been selling out shows in KY for 4-5 years. To some here it feels like it's been a long time coming for him. Glad he made it.
@@Sunnysun033 facts
Please come and perform in Houston Texas 🌹⭐ I see huge career for yourself Jesus loves u and I do too my Jack Harlow
Im from the ville and glad he made it
So he's not the product of rich parents? I'm getting the vibe, happy to be put in my place.
Kendrick's drummer and guitarist. Beautiful performance from everyone.
the chemistry between the band, vocalists and Jack was insane! The way that they were all just jamming. Also, can we talk about that little 'Jetson made another one' at the end of same guy?????? Chills.
Bro the instrumentalists and the back-up chorus is inline💯 you guys nailed it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
When they get a Tiny Desk concert, that's how u know they're offical. His band and backup singers are so dope.
I just love how tiny desk concerts brings the best out of artists
I miss Mac..........to the person who shouted him out love u Jack ❤
those back up singers complimented Jack so well. And the way the band was just jamming was amazing. one of my favorite tiny desk concerts yet!!!
When you know his first album, top to bottom, & then listen to his newest album, 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He hasn’t changed
I never heard his album before. I'm going to ck it out now
I like how he flip tht John legend beat
This is 100% truth. Still lyrical. Still carries an excellent cadence. You can tell there’s growth but his style is always him.
He's definitely changed.
@@tiguemackie2674 speaking on the music only ☺️
He should for real record his albums with live bands, his music is MILES better here than his albums.
but trap beats its wats sells
@@brunosarkar6812 I don't buy that, some of the best selling albums the last 5 years has used live instruments for most of the album
I loved his tyler herro track, then watched this. This made me want to listen to the album, but it didn't hit like the npr concert did
I hate to agree but yea this is a lot better than it is on the album but I still bought to support.
That is so true I would love an album like that
He’s fire and all that soul around him makes it even more beautiful.
🔥Facts🔥
Wasn’t expecting to watch more than a few minutes, but ended up watching the whole thing. The band and background singers really killed this!
Same hahahhahaaaaaaa
That band is on point bro!
fr i did not expect to watch this whole video with my eyes glued to the screen the whole time haha.
Jack came along way, sucks that he blew up during covid or else he would be out here headlining everything.
THIS
I know I hate that for him😭
I’m actually not sad... he’s a true legend destined with LONGEVITY
And he still will 🙏🏾
Oh man this is the best way to hear this guy. I really wish these musicians played with him all the time. That drummer is so good, its how I always wished I could play. Effortlessly in the pocket just doing whatever he wants.
That final drum / guitar sequence starting at 17:18 that they stopped and ran back went HARDDD
i looooove that part too, can't stop playing it on repeat
SAAAME EXACT REACTION. FIRE FIRE FIRE
Jack Harlow is one of the few new gens I really want to see the journey of. He’s special
I see Jack Harlow becoming as big as Drake in the future. He makes rap look so effortless and brings an interesting sound to Hip Hop.
Gotta respect that he took the time to shoutout each member of the band by name
I am halfway through, and sure am hoping he did. They deserve recognition. In the beginning when he just said he brought some friends, i was like oh nooo. But held out from commenting because i was holding out hope.
This made me a fan. So soulful and he just turned 23.
I keep finding myself back here! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
21C/Delta is unreal 🔥
Here for Harlow, stayed for the band. Bring them on tour Jack!
Yessss!
THIS VERSION OF 21C/DELTA THO OMGGGGGG. I gotta see him perform like this live
Tiny Desk Concerts have gone up several levels. From the setting to the lights and even the sound. I liked the older ones but this feels more personal.. A custom order concert special for you.
I believe the change of setting was due to covid restrictions - but agree to a large extent
When your choir and band is EVERYTHING.
One of the greatest Hip-Hoo Tiny Desk Concerts thus far. I really believe homeboy is going to mature and develop into a serious artist in time. He's already very talented. I'm excited to see him climb up the ladder over the next 10 years
Wow... incredible such a vibe. “Same Guy” live is a masterpiece. Can’t wait to see Jack live again on tour
Forreal ! I gotta listen to Jack more 🔥🔥
