- 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 | October 28, 2020
Superstar songwriter Ty Dolla $ign has too much history with NPR Music and too many hits under his belt to deliver us just any ol' Tiny Desk from home. He assembled a roster of frequent collaborators (including Skrillex) under one roof to perform some jams from his new album, aptly titled Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, as well as a few of his chart-topping singles.
While many know Ty as pop's go-to feature artist, the Los Angeles native has steadily crafted his own diverse catalog, with more than a dozen albums, mixtapes and EPs to his name. With Featuring, he flips the script, roping A-list pop stars - like Post Malone, Nicki Minaj, Future and Young Thug - into his own world, using them to define the Ty Dolla sound.
This Tiny Desk (home) concert was a long time coming. Ty visited the NPR Music offices last year, where he performed an emotional tribute to Mac Miller, and it's something we'll never forget, but he wanted to start fresh and focus on the music of Featuring. Fast forward more than a year later, and we finally have that full-length Ty concert so many of you have been asking for.

I met him in Gardena, CA around 2005; he was standing outside of a store selling his CD for $5. I bought it to support. Look at him now!
aww thats so freaking cute
Share this CD!
What CD?
southbay in the house
hi...can i hv a list of song from the CD?
People really don’t understand this man’s talent. He is a phenomenal multi-instrumentalist and unique singer. Can make RnB ballads and hip hop bangers, so versatile man
CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
Not to mention his electronic/techno bag
Hopefully in 2021 we can all go see him in concert!
And he writes!!!! Huge hits....
He a Beast
Everyone has been painfully underappreciating how talented this man is. (It's me. I'm everyone). An artist in every sense of the word
He's a great artist, but he needs to make more solo work. His projects are packed with featurings and it mostly makes his projects chaotic and takes the focus away from Ty $ to the other, bigger, featured artists
Welcome to the fandom of Dolla Dolla Dolla $ 🦄
Have you seen him on Music Exploder on Netflix???🔥🔥🔥
Ty so fuckn cold!!!
He is amazing! His albums are always so well put together and this man is a living legend!
Ty is the music equivalent to salt. He goes good with everything.
terrible.
couldn't explain it better
Except anything sweet?
@@DavidSigbi salt goes with all sweet things lol
@@DavidSigbi chocolate covered pretzels are slept on.
I feel like ty dolla is so underrated dude is to talented.
🥋❤🇧🇷🎶🙋♂️✌💸
Yesss
true
@@queenv4340😢 mmmmmmmkk 13:50 I
YES! Been saying this forever
Tiny Desk concerts really separate which artists are genuinely talented without the full studio, production, etc.
🇧🇷✌🥋
Spot on. Mac’s was one that will be in my head forever, such a beautiful performance. RIP Mac
Fax.
This happens cause the concerts pass through studio
Bad example .
The musicality of his runs is actually unreal, transitioning into notes outside the scale mid run is insanely difficult and he does it effortlessly. He's so vocally underrated it actually boggles my mind!!
EDIT(for context): My guy absolutely bodies 12:24 to 13:30
He's a great singer, doesn't need the autotune. A bit like T-Pain
@@awrebyawe honestly think the auto tune adds to his sound in a cool way, but definitely doesn’t need it at all, his tone is insane
@@harshmaheshwary you are right, it works well for some of his songs!
@Slip Magoo My personal favourites were 4:30 to 4:45, 6:35 to 6:55 and 12:24 to 13:30 (I think he absolutely kills this section, runs and adlibs are FIREEE). You can tell by his background vocalist's reaction after some of these sections too, mans has his stank face on!! But yeah his background vocalists def killed as well.
@@awrebyawe He is using autotune just so you know
You can tell he's a singer at heart. The trapping is dope too, but Dolla the vocalist hits different.
LOOK UP HIS DAD
TRUTH
I can only tell you have bad taste.
@@Krust23 what male vocalists do you like?
“hit different, hit different, hit different...” 🎶
Ty is the Nate Dogg of this generation!! His voice is soo wavy
Not at all. He’s a thousand times better.
Reminds of a refreshed R. Kelly
@@Isignedup4this Well he is in my opinion and R.Kelly? I dont know about that thats basically the same comparison as I've just made. Ty's got a couple good tracks to date but im unsure if he'll really stand up to the timeless tracks like Nate Dogg and Warren G
@@AdamNZ you sound really ignorant. Read on his production and song writing stats. You could say Ty $ is the modern day Prince. Nate Dogg was a glorified chorist
Nothing to do with Nate Dogg. I love them both, but they are completely different.
He is the CHARLIE WILSON of our generation. Go listen to Charlie
00:00 Temptations
2:03 Something New
3:44 Or Nah
4:46 Paranoid
7:16 Ego Death
10:26 Your Turn
cheers bro!
Needed this. Thank you!!!!!
MVP
doiong gods work
Ty Bro
Ty Dolla is slept on frl
Frfr
He is not, we like him always
@@Sjbjo you’d be surprised on how many people sleep on him man
No one giving the bassist love? He goin' hard. You might recognize him from the Mac Miller Tiny Desk :)
So good, that bass sound is HUGE! I want an F bass now..
His tone is superb.
what kind of bass is that
@@Fsavulich F bass, made in Canada. Also, his name is Joe Cleveland.
that dude so nasty!!!!
Looks like everyone was having fun. We love to see black joy...and Skrillex too haha
Ant Clemons on the backup vocals and harmonies is a straight up cheatcode
I DID NOT EXPECT THIS SET TO HIT SO HARD
Him and Skrillex having a band together is so 2020
no, its dolla's band but skrillex is a feature
Don't forget Jon Jones on backing
didn't realise it was skrillex
when skrillex got your back you cant go wrong!
missed this dude
Imagine being the neighbor who gets to hear this...
Blessed
I'd be visiting with all the treats all the time 💪🎊
That Ego Death break down was absolutely incredible
2:42 Skrillex shaking his head thinking to himself like: "No no no, this time we don't drop the bass"
Ty Dolla $ign was playing the day I was told my older brother had been killed in a car accident. Now every time I hear Ty I think of him and can't help but cry. I would do anything to have just one more shared bath with him. MISS YOU BRO!
my condolences, a very bitter sweet memory
Sending love your way friend ❤️🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏
My condolences to you and your family 😢🙏🏾.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That live version of Ego Death has to be one of the greatest things to happen in 2020 😤
By far the greatest I have ever heard straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤝💯
Swear who ever does his locs needs an award. They are always on point
Right !? He needs to give their number to lil Wayne ! Lol
@@traccy28 Its too late for old weezy
We must protect Ty Dolla $ign by all means
That backing vocalist is a vibeeeeee✨
I think his name is ant Clemons he has his own music as well
ant clemons the Ye reference track goat
At some point this man has to be labeled as a GOAT!! Everything he touches is 🔥🔥 His talent is unmatched. His artistry. Catalog is deep. His adlibs and background vocals on other artists songs can make that song better
Listen to All I Need with Jacob Collier and Mahalia
Never made a bad song and some of these new artist are trash and have more clout underrated af
Top 5 Tiny Desk Concerts! I don't wanna argue with anyone right now please.
can we just talk about how this is the best tiny desk of the year?
Erm.. wait. I haven't seen 'em all but, this here goes off!!
🇧🇷🎶🙋♂️🥋❤
It really is. I have watched this numerous times and can't get enough. Everything about this is amazing! I would love to see him LIVE in concert. It would be a mind-blowing experience!
I’d be bias not to agree
It’s up there
The way my blood moves every time he sings.. the vocals on Your Turn 😍😍😍😍😍 made me want a cigarette and I don’t even smoke 😫
one day we are gonna have to have a conversation about how skrillex is one of the biggest innovators of music to ever live. helping birth dubstep then changed rap and r&b for so many artists careers. dude is a legend
Oh no no no he didn't invent dubstep - dubstep was originally a very different genre of british and caribbean origin, derived mostly from dub and 2-step garage (hence dub+step), but also grime, drum and bass, reggae and jungle. He just popularised the more agressive EDM-oriented style (sometimes called brostep to distinguish it from the original style) that the US knows as dubstep. If you want an example of a really good oldschool dubstep artist, I recommend Burial - his album Untrue is incredible
@@konkey-dong Specifically the "Brostep" sound was made with a technique used and popularized by him called FM Distortion. On a lesser level he,in my opinion, also made what I call the "vowel chop" vocals more widely used by all kinds of artists.
@@macxin2415 Oh 100% he deserves a lot of credit, just not for inventing dubstep
@@konkey-dong Sonny Moore is way more than "Skrillex". He has come a long way since I first heard of him when he was the singer in From First to Last. People don't realize that he also is the producer of many hit songs for other famous artists. He definitely didn't invent dubstep or FM distortion or anything I can think of other than his hairstyle but he definitely is a music pioneer.
Love how he flipped Ego Death. What a jam.
Ty and 6lack really have that “steal your girl” type of voice
Ty $ has skrillex in the back like his just a background player hahahah
Crazy
man, Ty has cory henry in the keys last year...
Dont forget he had Thundercat too last time
From his drip to his sound, is this flawless or am I just fan girlin’?
Yes, you are, appropriately so lol. Super fan here
No you’re on point!!
Best 15 min Tiny Desk to date easily
This is literally concert material
Imagine this being a Super Bowl halftime show 🔥🔥
Was about to say bass player killing it but then realized that I would just end up saying they all killing it one at a time. This band is straight up fire
Band is crazy musical
This really bout to Hit Different!
Trust meee
That's that 🔥🔥🔥
Is it though
Skrillex
I need SZA tiny desk concert
That “Nah NininNahhNuahhh” break down was flawlessly effortless 4:37
One of the most talented artists of this generation
Skrillex and Ant Clemons preforming here is kind of wild
Right casually just got a mega DJ in the cut
Thats skrillex😳😳😳😳
They have both worked with TY numerous times before
He got DJ Camper there too, he’s a dope producer
Whole unit is elite!
This mans new album inspired me to start learning guitar 🎸 perfect r&b vibe
You have a long, but fun, road ahead of you, good luck!!!
7 and 9 chords are ya best friend for R&B.
@@jackxavier3915 thanks bro
Mike I see you on the drums. For this who don’t know the drummers father is the legendary iconic late James Moore.
Your Turn is his best song yet. Such an incredible song
FACTS
I agree 👍
I agree
Totally agree! 100%!
Talk about it!!
ty dropped the best rnb album of the year no question
After Hours by The Weeknd was much better imo
@@dr.strange5419 debatable, but it’s up there
Whats the name of album ive gotta peep it
@@seankiesling2054 it’s called “featuring ty dolla $ign”
Giveon?
Man this whole set is a vibe. Ty needs to do a whole album like this. NPR unplugged!
This is the best Tiny Desk I've seen this year
Your Turn is my FAVORITE track off the album: a hit period!
new favourite tiny desk concert
And freddie gibs
Who was your previous favorite
Freddie gibs, zaytoven.
@@maxt5091 masego/amine/lucky daye!!!
The musicianship of the entire band is ridiculously tight. Absolutely phenomenal.
holdup, that's Skrillex back there on the DJ
He produced the track
✌🥋🇧🇷
Sonny! he's doing that signature bounce and everything lol
fammm that spun me tooo like what thefuck
Thank you for asking the relevant question. It must be the hair hahha and the no glasses! Looks completely different
I wish all these songs sounded just like this on record. Why are people (or maybe major labels) so scared of live instruments and band performance?
Nah it’s just more expensive
It has a lot to do with replay value. Live recordings have a wow factor to them that hit harder when they’re rarer (this Tiny Desk). For a studio album that may/may not be played on the radio, used in media, etc, it generates way more replay value when it has a refined, consistent sound.
I soooo wish for that to happen more. and they could add in the 808s and take lots of time for mixing like they would if it was a normal record. but it would just have the amazing real live energy that performances like this have. for really great artists i feel like they never sound better than live
I agree like the bass on the 1st song it's not as great as it is on live performance here!
I think that's more likely to happen with artists who consider their live acts as their main outputs while treating studio recorded materials as "here's a preview of what you can expect on my live shows".
Ant Clemons is having the time of his life and I’m here for it🙌🏾
Just casually throwing Skrillex in the mix 😂
Hahahah so legendary! Gotta love it 😅
he produced ego death
@@PiikachuPLUR if im correct also a large part of beach house 3, and they constantly work on pieces
@@PiikachuPLUR and Temptations
That flip on Ego Death was epic. He should have ended with that!
caught me off-guard this is unbelievably tight and polished
@wesley wild nah like if Usher went neo-soul
This whole set was incredible, and Ty did his stuff. But it’s something about how crisp they were with ‘Or Nah’ 👏🏾👏🏾 3:45-4:46
The sounds of Something New has me in my feels.
Bruh I'm like let me get a mic
YOO THE INTERLUDE TO EGO DEATH WAS CRAZY!! I WASN’T READY!🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
Siccckkk!!!
FACTS!!!!
I actually genuinely didn't even realize that was Skrillex in the back until he said something lol
Skrillex surprise!!! Legendary
Wow I really wish I understood Ty Dolla Signs talent sooner!! Plus I love how he has the whole band together PLUS SKRILLEX. The way Skrillex used his CDJs and everything too was SO TIGHT
The band was everything...🙏🏽🙏🏽 A full summer concert with no Covid would be amazing...
the chemistry is out of this world. im sure they had a 420 sesh before and thank god, it showed on the performance. great fckn job
Can we please get this version of "Your Turn" as a song by itself. I'll pay 🙂 this might be the best Tiny Desk of ALL TIME no capp
this was amazing. we need bryson tiller or frank ocean next plzzz
Yessssss or Ro James
Skrillex on guitar at the back.
thought it was shia labouf
I associated him with the 2010 version of him, so I didn't recognize him until Ty mentioned him hahaha
The slight flex
That's a bass right?
@@joshconanan 😂😂😂
15 minutes of masterful artistry blended together effortlessly. GOD is great.
I watch this at least 3 times daily with my daughter. GOAT!!!
The chemistry in the room>>>>>>>
legend......give ty his flowers while he's still here
I Love his music, when i listen him my neighbours have to listen too... 😱
I watched this video about 50 leven times
😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ty dolla so good. And Skrillex in this really make me happy
yeah, skrillex like a role player, really impressed me
You know Ty Dolla it's good when you realize that skrillex is playing guitar for him in the back...hahah
WOW IM GENUINELY SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH TALENT THIS MAN HAS! The band was jammin !
Only bad part about tiny desk is that they are not longer
Right.
When he went to the ground with that electric guitar I got chills all over me
Brought to you by Jimmy Hendrix
Paranoid was sooooo dope!
The summer that song came out. Man, it was so hypnotizing.
Emang sih...
Waaay better than the studio versión👌
@@mackfar27 that summer was so crazy so many parties had this song playing😂💀
LOL I cannot believe NPR approved these lyrics. That's great
Ty x Skrillex is undefeated 🔥🔥
He definitely inherited his dad’s musical talent 🎤 🎶
No comment for the backup singers Killing it... Really!!!😤🤙🏿
It's crazy how long I have been listening to ty for this long but didn't know he was this talented! He pure genius and vibes.
I feel like people don't appreciate his talent the way they should 😩
I feel like everyone has their own taste and that's what they should.
Glad everyone in the comments showing ty some love. He's one of my favorite artists.
Sameeeee
They all went for this and straight killed it. I felt like I was at the club and a live intimate show. They really took it there. And I knew that was Skrillex in the back and Ant Clemons on the side. I love when the artist actually credits everyone involved. Great job everyone.
How many "Ouuuu yeahhhhh!!!!" Was counted in this video?
But for real... Ty is definitely underrated for his vocal talent!
Amazing chemistry with his band. Wow.
YO TY DOLLA IS SO UNDERRATED!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS ON TH-cam I’VE EVER SEEN. This arrangement had me really boppin my head! I have to see him live after this pandemic. The bassist went crazy and SKRILLEX IS ALWAYS A VIBE. WE OFTEN FORGET THAT TY DOLLA CAN REALLY SING WITH AUTO TUNE AS WELL. AND THEN THE MPC vibes was needed!!!!
FACTS.
Truth
They absolutely nailed this. I would still love to see Ty rock up with just an acoustic, a piano and a few back up singers (string quartet?) and no effects because it would clearly still be insanely good.
There's a video of him basically doing this, although he doesn't sing. It's at a drug reform center and he plays acoustic bass
@@awrebyawe that sounds cool too!
8:41 THEY BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER 🌌 GALAXY.....THE ENDING is 🗣PHENOMENAL🔥🔥🔥💫💥💥🌟✨✨✨💫💥💥🌟🔥🔥🔥👌🏿
That was a crazy set! 1 year later and still an incredible performance
I literally sing to this every day
only one listen in but already I think it’s top to bottom one of the best tiny desks yet
FACTS!! This is the comment!!
@@davisthedrummer I cry every time
@@leviwalker8816 YOU HURT MY EGO WHEN YOU WAAAALKED AWAY
People really don’t understand this man’s talent. He is a phenomenal multi-instrumentalist and unique singer. Can make RnB ballads and hip hop bangers, so versatile man
Did you just Copy+Paste the top comment?
Is he?
Tell it
I definitely didn't
His dad was the bass player in Lakeside look up the song Fantastic Voyage (though idk if he was the original bassist)
So happy for Ty. People are starting to realise his talent. Been seeing a lot of love for his new album. Truly deserved. Better late than never 🤷♂️
That run during “Your Turn”😩 I love this man. Every single song he’s on, he makes it sound 10x better. His singing is amazing I was he wasn’t so underrated
He’s put out so much greatness but I feel like we should have more from him
One of the best rnb artists of the past decade... period
Put some respek on my man ANT CLEMONS name with those backup vocals.
True Ant Clemons is slept on like mattresses
"ANT I SEE YOU" was the only thing I saying during the whole performance.
Was thinking the same
Ain’t gone lie he fire but didn’t know he looked
I love his song Excited, makes me feel like I have a boo😂❤️❤️
