NPR - Tiny Desk Concert
Detroit rapper Big Sean is the latest emcee to drop a Tiny Desk Concert on the world.
Big Sean pulled out all of the stops for his 14-song Tiny Desk Concert in the NPR Studios, bringing a mini orchestra with him with 14 musicians in total, including Sean Anderson, performing on the tracks.
I might be telling on myself too much here but I clicked for ‘I Don’t F— With You’ as that’s the Big Sean song that gets the most play on my Spotify. He did perform the song but it came last which was a pleasant surprise because every track leading up to it was great and this Big Sean performance was a perfect 25-minute distraction today and I had to share it with you all.

That’s quite the turnout in the NPR studios. There seems to be a trend lately of packing in as many backup artists as possible and frankly, it’s been great. Justin Timberlake had 15 people with him for his Tiny Desk Concert performance last week.
