NPR Music's Tiny Desk concert series has adapted to the current situation by bringing performances to audiences virtually with Tiny Desk (home) concerts. In a recent installment, hip-hop artist Tariq Trotter, known as Black Thought from The Roots crew, debuted three new songs during his set. Black Thought, born on October 3, 1971, is not only a rapper but also a singer and actor, serving as the lead MC of The Roots, a hip hop group he co-founded with Questlove in Philadelphia. Renowned for his exceptional live performance skills, intricate lyricism, and politically charged lyrics, Black Thought has been praised as one of the most talented and prolific rappers of his generation. Alongside The Roots, he is a regular feature on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, often engaging in games with the host and guests. This Tiny Desk concert showcased Black Thought's musical prowess and creativity, offering fans a glimpse into his latest work while maintaining the intimate and stripped-down essence of the Tiny Desk concert experience.
