NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series is a big deal, especially for up and coming artists. 

Did you see his new one “Ivory”? Pretty good

a bit over-produced, but I know that's what the kids are in to...he's got enough talent and talent around him to ditch the auto-tune and double-tracking

He's on another level. 

In a time where dudes like Future and Migos can outsell Kendrick Lamar & JCole, you cant just be a lyricist in the hip-hop game anymore.  You have to be something different.  Tobe's words aren't the typical hip-hop fare.  He's actually saying something.  And when he brags on himself, it's not the typical money/hoes/clothes/things-I-got...  It's on a soul level.

Gotta get this dude to Apogee for a pre/postgame show.

For the record, nothing wrong with double-tracking.😐

oh I definitely don't disagree...it has it's place and can add a lot.

I'll revisit the above track, but on the heels of watching his Tiny Desk concert it felt distracting
