A couple of years in the past my dad talked about an up-and-coming artist by the title of LaRussell. “No, significantly,” he mentioned. “This dude is completely different! You gotta verify him out.” So I gave him a hear and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Vallejo, Calif. native LaRussell has infiltrated the hip-hop trade in a manner so many artists solely dream of doing. Decided to remain “majorly impartial,” the rapper constructed his personal musical infrastructure proper in his Bay Space house. LaRussell’s common “Yard Residency” concert events are fairly actually held in his yard, and the artist and his homies convey his yard vibes to the Tiny Desk for what seems like a celebration together with your most enjoyable mates.
LaRussell makes certain to please each day one followers and new listeners with a jam-packed setlist that melds a few of his finest tracks collectively. He smiles and dances his manner by way of a high-energy efficiency that solidifies his spot as probably the most memorable Tiny Desk Concert events I’ve attended to this point.
