Noname Performs an Effortless Tiny Desk Concert: Watch
The post Noname Performs an Effortless Tiny Desk Concert: Watch appeared first on Consequence.
Noname recently returned to the NPR offices for another expectedly great Tiny Desk Concert.
The Chicago rapper is now one in a small batch of artists who’ve performed at the Tiny Desk twice, having made her debut back in 2017. But now with two official studio albums under her belt, 2018’s Room 25 and this year’s fantastic Sundial — not to mention the book club and activism she’s devoted herself to in the interim — 2023 Noname shines with a palpable sense of confidence.
Noname performed a six-song set that included four songs from Sundial: “namesake,” “hold me down,” “boomboom” with Ayoni, and “balloons.” She also dug up the Room 25 highlight “Don’t Forget about me” and invited her Ghetto Sage bandmates Smino and Saba to do “kush and love songs.”
The rapper saved the unrelenting “balloons” for last, showing some appreciation to her hosts: “Where better to do my most controversial song than NPR? Real journalism,” she said. Watch Noname’s new Tiny Desk Concert below.
Noname has a few dates remaining on her North American tour supporting Sundial. Grab tickets here.
