NPR Music’s Tiny Desk series will celebrate Black History Month by featuring four weeks of Tiny Desk (home) concerts and playlists by Black artists spanning different genres and generations each week. The lineup includes both emerging and established artists who will be performing a Tiny Desk concert for the first time. This celebration highlights the beautiful cornucopia of Black music and our special way of presenting it. We hope you enjoy.
Following Rick Ross just yesterday, it’s now time for 2 Chainz to shine on his Tiny Desk concert. The Atlanta veteran performs live from his high-end nail studio Pamper (yes, he owns it) while getting a champagne-soaked pedicure. Later, he brings the musicians helping him to the forefront as he performs songs like ‘Southside Hov’, ‘Vampire’, ‘Good Drank’, ‘I’m Different’ and the latest single ‘Grey Area‘.
Watch the concert below. The rapper recently revealed that he’s reconsidering leaving Def Jam after the label gave him an enticing offer. He released his last album So Help Me God in November.
