Juvenile's 'Tiny Desk' Is Just As Epic As We Thought It'd Be

Juvenile's 'Tiny Desk' Is Just As Epic As We Thought It'd Be

After Juvenile declared he had no idea what a Tiny Desk was back in April, sparking an outpouring of fans urging him to reconsider, using other famous Tiny Desk performances as leverage, the wheels were set in motion for Juvie to appear on the popular series. He didn't disappoint.

Clearly, after being made aware of the awesomeness that is Tiny Desk, Juvie went to work to make sure he delivered. New Orleans legends Trombone Shorty and Alvin Ford showed up. Jon Batiste, flew in from London just to take part of the set. And of course, one of the most talented if not under-recognized production talents in Hip-Hop history, Mannie Fresh, was there to joyfully take part in the lively set.

Juvenile's 1998 masterpiece, 400 Hundred Degreez, is arguably the most important album in the Cash Money dynasty – sonically creative, and highly influential. Of course, he delivered highlights from that project, including the dynamic, "Ha" and one of the biggest songs of past few decades, "Back That Azz Up." He also ran through favorites including the forever club jam, "Slow Motion," a dope rendition of "Rodeo," and "I Need A Hot Girl."

All in all – expect for Juvie to (rightfully) get booked with more frequency after this. Check it below.
