NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk's unique way of showcasing that talent.

"WTF is a Tiny Desk and no!" are the words that led to one of the most publicized journeys any musician has taken to get to NPR headquarters. That was Juvenile's response to Twitter user @theylovemyke's request for him to play a Tiny Desk concert back in April. His response ignited Black Twitter, launching a barrage of tweets and reposts of favorite performances at the Desk, as fans implored the "T.C. soldier" to reconsider. His viral reconsideration led to a few DMs, which led to a few phone calls, and the date was set. Juve, like some rappers in his class, had never heard of our little nook in Washington, D.C., but he soon found out.

The pressure to deliver was palpable in the planning stages but as the band was assembled, my expectations were exceeded. Tiny Desk alumni and New Orleans natives Trombone Shorty and Alvin Ford were brought into the fold. Another Tiny Desk vet from New Orleans, Jon Batiste, flew in from London just to be a part of the set. Juvenile sourced The Amours from right here in D.C. to handle background vocals, along with string players from the Louisiana Philharmonic for the grand finale. The architect of the Juvenile/Cash Money Records sound, DJ Mannie Fresh, became the glue that pieced it all together. The result was one of the most rambunctious experiences at the Desk. The Hot Boy coasted through highlights from a decades-long, groundbreaking career, concluding with a performance of "Back That Azz Up," so exuberant that the audience demanded an encore and the band obliged. A Tiny Desk first.

    Please give whoever is responsible for this at Tiny Desk a raise… it’s well deserved.
  • @PrinceRayDaProphet
    This was the most harmonious elegantly ratchet thing I’ve seen in a whole. Thank you
  • @timanniwalker4488
    2 months ago Juvenile didn’t know what NPR Tiny Desk was and now he’s contributed to one of the best they’ve ever had. The power of being open.
  • @ThisIzMonstahP
    Mannie Fresh is everything Khaled wishes he can be on the boards. That boy Mannie making beats off his voice lol
  • @fishhunterjay
    I don’t remember the crowd ever asking ANYONE to run it back one more time!!! The tiny desk is on FIRE!
  • @bobbymuhammad8921
    Everyone in their late 30s early 40s definitely enjoys this. Thank you NPR.
  • @raylin5905
    Juvenile is casually sipping and holding a drink while memorizing and spitting 20+yrs of 🔥 lyrics like its nothing. He makes performing look ridiculously easy😂
  • @nivekleveb8872
    Juvie went from not knowing what a Tiny Desk is to putting on one of the best Tiny Desk concerts I've seen...legendary.
  • @HayJay8619
    Who else is still coming to this performance to watch it on a regular basis??? Just perfection across the board!
  • @Cng215
    Its phenomenal how influential to the world Black artists are.
  • @jayroc80-92
    Manny Fresh is legend. Doesnt get enough credit
  • @Solsurvz92
    This is the best version of “giving someone their flowers.” Folks tend to look over Juvie, Mannie and Cash Money’s contributions to hip hop history. These boys changed the game and brought the fun back to hip hop at a period when it had gotten way too serious. Hits, hits, hits!!! They ran the game for a while. Thank you N.P.R. for this.

    I'm feeling depressed today, so I reached for my emotional support Juvenile Tiny Desk.
