*Juvenile served up a slew of his hits on NPR’s Tiny Desk last week and his performance of “Back That Azz Up” quickly went viral.
As one Twitter user put it … “Name me one recent rap song that people will still be listening to 25 years later like this.”
The New Orleans hip-hop star also performed “Bling Bling,” “Ha,” “400 Degreez,” “Slow Motion,” “I Need a Hot Girl” and “Rodeo,” KTLA reports. The rapper’s highly anticipated Tiny Desk live show featured producer Mannie Fresh and the band included Grammy winners Trombone Shorty, Jon Batiste, as well as string players from the Louisiana Philharmonic. The Armours provided background vocals, according to KTLA.
In April, Juvenile declined to do a Tiny Desk performance. After fans pressed him about it on social media, the artist took to Twitter and posted: “Ok ok. All Things Considered, 10k retweets and I will RECONSIDER doing @NPR Tiny Desk while drinking an ice-cold #JuvieJuice from @UrbanSouthBeer!!” he tweeted. “And what song y’all want the most???”
His post received almost 12,000 retweets. Watch clips from Juvenile’s performance below:
