Action Bronson: Tiny Desk Concert

There are times during Action Bronson's Tiny Desk when his vocals momentarily drift. We instruct our guests to face the directional microphones so that our recorders clearly pick up the voices. Action warned us of the improbability of that happening before we started filming and sure enough, the Flushing, Queens emcee strolled off mic a couple of times, did an about face here and there and even took a knee mid-show. By the time we got to "Latin Grammys," he looked over to our engineer Josh Rogosin and said, "I told you I couldn't stand still. How do you play music still?" He's got a point.
Action's band Human Growth Hormone reinterprets his records so funky, it's nearly impossible not to move, yet the small imperfections during the set tickled me. Bam Bam, primarily known as a rapper, has turned his passion for food, clothing, sneakers, wrestling, writing, fitness and painting into bonafide professions. Never veering too far away from the booth, he's consistently dropped projects since 2011. After working out in the green room, Mr. Baklava walked to the Desk, greeting nearly every person in the room with a handshake, and proceeded to perform highlights from Mr. Wonderful, Lamb Over Rice, White Bronco, and Only For Dolphins. Bronson was born to entertain us.

Everytime someone likes this comment I’ll come back to listen to this masterpiece.

Join me in the relisten
Welcome back
Come back.
This makes me wish that Mac Miller and Bronson did a whole album together.
ffs yes. Gosh you just planted a thought I should never have.
😢
Broooo...
paraa amigo, me hace re mal
They have a song together
My favorite thing about his band, besides being named Human Growth Hormone, is that his base player is Actions's exotic olive oil plug.
Laughed way too much at this lol
Hahaha
Dude's bass is made of olive wood.
My favorite comment about this comment, besides Action’s exotic oil plug, is ‘base’ player.
Truly based
👑FACTS 💯👑
Bronson is absolutely ripped on edibles here. When he heard the sax solo he clenched his fists and looked like he was about to cry. He loves the music and has the most fun out of everyone here
Lol I’m the 420th like 😂
Destroyed 😂
That sax was sooo beautiful.
26:55
That makes 2 of us
And enormous respect to Matt "Yung Mehico" Carrillo for the outstanding saxophone performance.
He’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am not so much into saxophones, but this give me deep chills. awesome.
dude's amazing!
That solo on Blue was sick!
Never would have none that’s the dude from storm of the century without your comment. Thank you
Yo, Action, PLEASE take these amazing musicians on a tour so we can all come support y’all and witness this greatness live!
They’re on tour right now
Yup they’re on tour right now! It sucks cause I have to choose between going to see him or Nas and Wu tang Clan 😢 i hate being broke
@@somniatic you can see nas and wu tang anytime ACTION!!!!
Omg I would be in tears if I saw Bronson live
They been on tour I already them 3 times lol
That Sax player is absolutely out of his mind. What an amazing set!
Swear to God he is on another planet 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@brandonmercer6744 bronson wasn't kidding when he said "coming live from the moon"
Big respect to the whole crew but especially Bronson for performing through the edibles kicking in. Lol. That's talent
I think it was just an excuse for his mistakes, there's absolutely no symptoms of edible.
@@tdb517 Other than his inability to keep his eyes open? lol
@@cabbagecabbages4729 sorry my mistake, I thought edible meant shrooms but it's like space cake.
u didnt listen to all the performance
@@Cragze1991
@@Cragze1991 nah bro it's still at 18:00
The thing I love about action Bronson is just how comfortable with himself he is. There isn’t an ounce of uncertainty coming from this man and it’s infectious
100%
You ve coined it perfectly. That's why he is so magnetic
He's literally the most insecure, shyest performer I've seen on a Tiny Desk concert. Still great though!
never uncertainty except for at the start when he second guessed the hat
Right! An this is awkward af. Like I get tiny dest I love them. But this had to be hard difficult. An he just killed it! My man forever! 💪
no one has charisma like Bronson
Stromae does! Same for Dimash
Big Daddy Kane
Lots do they just are in the shadows
on god
🧢
" if i dont do it right, its not right" I seriously thought that was part of the script, these guys are insanely smooth and chillaxed
ive been playing jazz for 20 years as a drummer. sat and watched a loooottttt of solos. don't think I've ever seen 2 people solo over each other and hardly step on each others toes the way the sax and guitar do at the end of this video. almost perfectly complimenting each other the whole time. amazing.
yeah that was some mean, tasteful trading 4s and i’ve done some stacked solos like that it is definitely hard to lock in the way they did!
This band is next level good, I would pay good money to see them and Bronson live
They do tour, look for listings where it mentions Human Growth Hormone. I saw them in London last month and it was fire
They are touring!!
Bro I saw them in Manhatten. Litterly the most amazing music and performance ever
I’d pay great money for this
Seeing them in London would be sooo sick. @@dylanrees8653
He's never sounded better. This format is glorious for him.
Say it!!!
What a cheeky comment. Cheers
Agreed! I love live instruments and how TD mixes their music. It really makes it so beautiful on the ears? Don’t know how to describe jt
He sounds better only live, highly recommend!
I've always felt that Bronson's lyrical style is a poetic display of an intricate mind. One with so much to say, but never enough time to say it. He can tell a whole story and evoke an array of feelings in just a bar or two. It's a wildly beautiful form of art he's so casually pulling off.
The band here compliments it perfectly. Emphasising the right chords and giving a sort of 'bounce' to the multitude of stories Bronson is telling. Waves you could say.
Far out, what a set. I'm very much going to struggle counting the number of times I come back to this video
Beautifully stated
Ghostface killah
Art
He is being himself 100%, its so rare to see these days. Hes a gem too few know about. I hope to see you live one day. Thank you Bronson for everything, you have a happy spot in my heart! Thanks to the band aswell for a beautiful performance
yep, no ego envolved. Just.. universe energy passing through this, theyre amplifiers.
He’s amazing live I’ve seen pre and post weight loss. He’s got the stamina of a race horse on stage and unbelievable presence.
Yeah being himself 100%... what a coincidence his flow, melody, and range are all carbon copies of GhostfaceKilla. Incredible.
@@colinmurphy3478 ..........
These verses hit different with this slower delivery...more time to let them breathe and connect. These instrumentals really elevate the material. I hope this is turning some young hip hop fans into jazz fans, and some old jazz fans into hip hop.
Exactly that. EXACTLY THAT.
Perfectly said my friend
Can you recommend some jazz that can give this vibe? Vocals too would be a big plus
@@JayJay92look at the new dinner party album
@@JayJay92I feel like jonwayne has similar vibes to this tiny desk.
The chillest live beat. The band is keeping it SO tight. Never in a hurry. Incredible. Some kind of Action.
❤
bronson is a musical mastermind and his team is full of masterful talent🙌🏼
Yeah big respect to them
So true!
I mean this is a 10/10 performance, Bronson’s energy with a live band is just a perfect match.
Live from the moon is probably the most unbelievable piece of music I have ever heard. Action is a leader. Unbelievable performance. Young mehico make em cry.
Tiny Desk's legendary sound engineering defeated by Bronsoliño: the unstoppable force meets the immovable object. We love to see it!
Impeccable.
Well said😂😂
sounds amazing
alchemist beats and even a knxwledge beat being played by a live band is heavenly
Which one is knxwledge?
@@sammathey1995Live from the Moon
Knxwledge - Hud Dreems one of my favorite albums
they're all ' whole song samples' , but yah
Only Action gets this beats becouse its his style
I watch this a minimum of once a week, something about artist on tiny desk hits WAY different.
right? purest musicality
Bro, same..

This should be on vinyl

At least apple music
This is why you buy CZcams premium
Please! Just release the recording

TAKE EM TO CHURCH!, 🗣️🗣️
this is by far the best tiny desk concert ever
I don't want to overhype it man, but every time I listen to it the thought comes to my mind, so it might just be.
mac millers will forever be number 1
For a while it was Anderson .Paak's tiny desk.. but this one was an instant classic. Elite performance (on drugs, at that lol)
Pretty sure someone, somewhere says this about every single NPR desk performance 😂
My favorite is tyler the creator 's tiny desk
Live from the moon was INCREDIBLE!!!!! WOW
This just confirms my want for a Griselda Tiny Desk Concert.
or a Mach-Hommy Tiny Desk but that’s literally impossible. A Griselda one would be amazing
That would be dope. But i have gotten tired of street and drug pusher rap, the older ive gotten.
god i pray for a mach-hommy concert everyday now, i was just thinking about that last week @@matiasacevedo5557
Yeeeessssssss need Benny Tiny Desk
Boom boom boom boooboooom
Imagine going out for drinks and seeing this set in the restaurant. Id be sitting there with a red wine crying while the sax plays 😂
"sorry about flipping that table i really like that song Terry"
Was thinking the exact same thing
This is my first time listening to Action Bronson. Intense, all the feels, why has this been hiding from me!? Gourmet cooking for the ears! Thanks!
Funny you say “gourmet cooking for the ears” but never heard of action Bronson because he has a cooking show too lol
And used to be a chef
I knew about cooking show but not watched yet, wasn't even thinking about that, I also used to be a chef, but still cook and create today. That's awesome info.
@@Fingers_Dupree
lol shiiiet
No lie this is probably my favorite video on CZcams. There’s not a single video I come back to more than this one.
love how Bronson sound has evolved from gritty NY rap to a sound feeling like ur in a small bistro in a desolate Italian town drinking fine aged olive oil and eating croissants 💪🍷🥐 🐊
hold up LOL olive oil?! they drink proseco out there
Action Bronson has his own line of Olive oil, he and the bassist of the band. Grove and Vine!
@@ot7stan207they also drink olive oil straight out the bottle too lol wylin
@beefarlee no they don't ha
Don't forget about the natural wine. And some cheese with Clovis LeFranc
Bronson giving everyone the space they need and just enjoying the band is so pure. Dude's come a long way and this performance more than shows.
Yes! And I appreciate him taking the time to give the band their props and introduce them. I've seen other hip hop Tiny Desk shows and they never intro the band.
Pretty sure he that because the edibles kicked in xD, but you still right though.

This Live on The Moon performance was my favorite one. Violins would sound amazing on this.
The live composition of these beats is so amazing
DUDE ON THE SAX ABOUT TO GET ME FIRED!! Cause you cannot play this at a low level. The whole office needs to hear this!
😂😂😂 Love this comment
A real uncut hip hop performance.
Perfect! Thank you Bronson for a decade of being yourself in hip hop!
🗣🗣🗣
anybody who drops a Jack Lalanne reference spent alot of time at his grandparents as a kid, he remembers everything. Every rhythm every flavor every scent from kindergaten to this morning went into that performance.
one of the best transitions to live band I have heard on here. this one for the soul
Ayo the drummer kept the tempo an melody vibey the whole performance 🔥🔥 9ether is one of the best ! U gotta see them live for the full experience
I absolutely adore this performance. The way he lets the music breathe and you can see him fully embrace the moment while he’s caught up in the music is beautiful. This one was excellent!
i think hes surprised how good it sounds too lol
I was thinking exactly breath....great music
Doesnt take a ghost story and a thousand manipulated years to have common sense and a lil character. Do you tho boo.
@@williamnepinak5490is ion a in it’s 👌 to to iiiiiiiiiiimpress i want a break it it in a
never seen music put in this perspective and i feel it 100% with this
Live band made these Alchemist beats sound even better. Props
The “make me cry” before the saxophone solo gets me everytime 😢
"If I don't do it right, it's not right" 17:55 We must protect and promote this wizard
Big props to the sound engineer! Can't have been easy with Bronson moving around like that.
Bro was high as fcuk. Moving about like he has no idea what a mic does

Needs a Madonna mic

Hahaha yesss!!! 💪🏽
Just got lucky enough to see this live. Bronson and Human Growth Hormone have made something magical here
Goosebumps 🪿. My favorite tiny desk performance. Young Mexico is a G 🙌
The sound engineering here is out of this world. The sax here sounds even more next level than Masego’s tiny desk.
You ever watch Masego and FKJ live at the red bull studio? Absolutely amazing!
NPR sound ingeeniers do such a fantastic job for those vidéos, pretty amazing and such a pleasure to listen to those show
@@pressureflipin1992facts. FKJ has some incredible work out there
Josh Rogosin is the sound engineer on the Tiny Desk concerts. He always does a fantastic job.
CMON ITS YOUNG MEHICO
"I've been able to touch my toes for three years now" is just too incredible of a statement 😂
This man is the real deal, better recognize.
Ive watched this atleast 150 times and replay that sax guitar back and forth in the last 5 minutes every morning🔥
That's the best Sax 🎷 Ive ever experienced. What a ride Mehico🙏
I don’t want it to end, this could be my favorite tiny desk ever.
Seriously
This and Juvenile my favorite
Sure bud
It ended way too soon
Mac Millers and this one.
NPR continues to impress. I would go see these type of performances live in concert. A modern "MTV Unplugged" in its unique way. Love it and thank you NPR. These musicians tho 🤌🏼
Failed to mention, NPR audio engineers are on point too. Everything about this is on point.
If you want, he’s currently touring the country with this band, check if he’s in your area! Sure they won’t have that NPR sound engineers touch, but the vibes will most likely be the same! Can’t wait till he’s in Philly!
@@dominicdipiero272seeing him in Seattle in October I can’t express how excited I am
Just discovered this.... Wow... Terry/don't hurt me... Wow...
I personally think this is one of the best tiny desk gigs
he literally did every song I would've wanted him to do on here, I love this
I’ve watched it at least 5 times in A week
imagine if he did estaciones

Live from the moon is an absolute master piece
This quickly became one of my all-time favorite Tiny Desk performances. Endless kudos to Action Bronson and his band for exuding much majesty, power, love, and purebred funk so effortlessly. I felt this in my sternum.
from 9:00🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Mac
This might be one of the best tiny desks. I expect nothing less from this man.
Action Bronson will go down in history to be one of the most Powerful, embodiment artists to ever live. His Energy and ambition and love for music is something unmatched. AB mane. AB🙌🏽👏🏽
“Don’t Hurt Me Again”, I felt this and honestly. With everything that’s been going on in my life lately, I shed a tear during this part of his set. 16:01
I was at this recording and got chills watching this performace. Definitely a instant classic for tiny desk
❤
I love how his beats sound exactly like this, just studio enhanced. The way he brought in Terry actually blew my mind
Exactly!!! He and the beats sounds the sameee in the studio, these boys killed it! And Terry is my fav track from this set forsure
Terry is such an under rated track
Shout out to all the Terrys
Edibles had the lyrics melting together in his head.
These guys are so awesome. Wonderful!
I couldn’t stop smiling throughout the entire set, this was amazing

So stoked for the guy, it's just coming out how excited he is to be there.

Begging.
The "Live From The Moon" performance is absolutely divine. The sweet instrumentals took my mind to the galaxy.
When the tenor comes in I’m straight up ascending
I was looking for this comment, that rendition blew my mind
This was a cosmic rendition. Easily his best performance of this track
I was floating that whole song
Tiny Desk constantly surprises me but I'm not surprised for real.
That sax is reminiscent of Gato Barbieri. Excellent!
I enjoy Action Bronson's energy. He radiates positivity. This was a great Tiny Desk Concert!
That saxophonist 🔥 ....that whole band loved it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thats Yung Mehico 👌 he’s amazing
It feels like he's freestyling this whole thing. Amazing talent! And amazing band!
Edit: Never seen such a small man so high! Haha
Tbh that's the fun of his music atleast to me. It always sounds like a fun and random freestyle.
Small is the wrong word for the White Bronco
Tell Bronson he small and he liable to suplex you off the top rope
@@brysonpage4185facts, he's compact
How did I not know this guy before? NPR you are the plug.

Action had the best time out of everyone. It is inspiring to see how much he enjoys life and the talent of the other musicians without trying to be the center of attention, with no ego just being in the moment.

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
The amount of money I would give to see this live... timeless.
Don’t really see the need to spend more than $55
He’s touring right now with this band, check when he’s in town
I’m kicking myself because my friend offered me a free ticket to see him a few weeks ago but I was just assuming it would be him and a dj and I being a musician don’t really go for shows like that. He sent me videos with the full band and I was like oh no. I made a horrible mistake.

Always knew Bronson but only started listening to him last week, this guy is so good it’s unbelievable, his sound is just from an other era and his confidence shows thru, so freaking undated
This is what this is about, story telling, harmonic sound, talented people, just vibing and making their presence known every single moment in the music. fantastic
