Tiny Desk Konzerte haben mich bisher noch nie enttäuscht – immer eine super gute Künstlerauswahl und ein gutes Gespür für Musik mit Herz und Seele. Diesmal ist der britische Rapper „Dave“ zu Gast und hat mir einige Gänsehautmomente beschert.

Behind Dave’s British stoicism, you get an up-close look at the honest storytelling and stripped-down vulnerability that earned him a Mercury Prize in the UK for Psychodrama and an acting role in Netflix’s crime drama reboot Top Boy. He blacks out, lyrically, with a four-piece band and background singer backing him after sharing the inspiration behind the aptly-titled song „Black“ from his opus of a debut. „It’s just about the black British experience,“ he says. „Everyone’s experience of being black is a little bit different, but this is my take on it. I wanted to deliver it to the world and here it is for you guys.“
