Superstar songwriter Ty Dolla $ign has too much history with NPR Music and too many hits under his belt to deliver us just any ol' Tiny Desk from home. He assembled a roster of frequent collaborators (including Skrillex) under one roof to perform some jams from his new album, aptly titled Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, as well as a few of his chart-topping singles.
While many know Ty as pop's go-to feature artist, the Los Angeles native has steadily crafted his own diverse catalog, with more than a dozen albums, mixtapes and EPs to his name. With Featuring, he flips the script, roping A-list pop stars — like Post Malone, Nicki Minaj, Future and Young Thug — into his own world, using them to define the Ty Dolla sound.
This Tiny Desk (home) concert was a long time coming. Ty visited the NPR Music offices last year, where he performed an emotional tribute to Mac Miller, and it's something we'll never forget, but he wanted to start fresh and focus on the music of Featuring. Fast forward more than a year later, and we finally have that full-length Ty concert so many of you have been asking for.

I met him in Gardena, CA around 2005; he was standing outside of a store selling his CD for $5. I bought it to support. Look at him now!
-
I feel like i shouldn't even be able to watch this for free
-
Ty is the music equivalent to salt. He goes good with everything.
-
I feel like ty dolla is so underrated dude is to talented.
-
Tiny Desk concerts really separate which artists are genuinely talented without the full studio, production, etc.
-
People really don’t understand this man’s talent. He is a phenomenal multi-instrumentalist and unique singer. Can make RnB ballads and hip hop bangers, so versatile man
-
holdup, that's Skrillex back there on the DJ
-
Skillex face the whole time looks like he's afraid his equipment gonna catch on fire from how fire the music is
-
Everyone has been painfully underappreciating how talented this man is. (It's me. I'm everyone). An artist in every sense of the word
-
Ty is the Nate Dogg of this generation!! His voice is soo wavy
-
Imagine this being a Super Bowl halftime show 🔥🔥
-
Him and Skrillex having a band together is so 2020
-
You can tell he's a singer at heart. The trapping is dope too, but Dolla the vocalist hits different.
-
Ant Clemons on the backup vocals and harmonies is a straight up cheatcode
-
-
Skrillex and Ant Clemons preforming here is kind of wild
-
when skrillex got your back you cant go wrong! missed this dude
-
I wish all these songs sounded just like this on record. Why are people (or maybe major labels) so scared of live instruments and band performance?
-
This is literally concert material
