A number of years in the past my dad talked about an up-and-coming artist by the identify of LaRussell. “No, critically,” 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 method so many artists solely dream of doing. Decided to remain “majorly unbiased,” the rapper constructed his personal musical infrastructure proper in his Bay Space dwelling. LaRussell’s in style “Yard Residency” concert events are fairly actually held in his yard, and the artist and his homies carry his yard vibes to the Tiny Desk for what seems like a celebration together with your most enjoyable associates.
LaRussell makes positive to please each day one followers and new listeners with a jam-packed setlist that melds a few of his greatest tracks collectively. He smiles and dances his method by means of a high-energy efficiency that solidifies his spot as one of the memorable Tiny Desk Live shows I’ve attended up to now.
