    Dessa is the gold standard of live performances. Hands down.

    I am so glad to have had the pleasure to have Seen Dessa and Cecil perform this live on several occasions. This is one of the best live performances you will see, glad to have this version on CZcams to revisit on-demand.

    Big ups to everyone involved in this production. Cecil is always solid and delivers smoooooth education.
    Dessa is a wild woman. Lovely!
    Aby Wolf has her claws in me.
    Love from the west coast of Canada!

    There's something about Cecil Otter's voice.

    • @dpjpq0
      @dpjpq0 Před 9 lety +6

      agreed - Dessa is obviously amazing, but Cecil is equally great imo

    • @scottmckinstry1698
      @scottmckinstry1698 Před 9 lety +8

      I agree, his voice is just so outspoken and his lyrics are really thought out. He's definitely my fav in the Doomtree lineup.

    • @TheNukeGeneral
      @TheNukeGeneral Před 8 lety +2

      I completely agree. his voice is meant for rap. adds so much power to the already incredible lyrics.

    • @amberlee4536
      @amberlee4536 Před 6 lety +2

      I wish Cecil would put out more stuff. He's amazing but he just doesn't put out as much stuff and it's a pity.

    • @cgtz9526
      @cgtz9526 Před 4 lety +1

      Amberlee not sure what he does, but he has a full time job. I have seen multiple doomtree interviews where the other members says “yeah Cecil is at work” Lol. So it seems like music is part time him and the other members are full time. Even though he is a lot of Doomtree fans’s favorite member.

    i cannot believe the talent these guys have... doomtree as a whole is incredible but cecil otter and dessa are a combo no one can begin to challenge. this song blew my mind this music is so underrated its disturbing... for the sake of your fans and the people you influence daily keep making music!

    This is such an amazing tune, Cecil is so talented and Dessa is already some who you knew when! With No Kings, Doomtree firmly cements itself as one of the best acts to ever come out of the 612!

  • @Pahloord
    @Pahloord Před 12 lety

    Creativity, and here, genius, have no boundaries, it saddens me to see people are arguing in the comments on that video, there's no time in life to do so, use your time only to listen to music like that, cause this is a real music diamond, I can't find words to describe the awesomeness of what I just listened to, these people should keep up that awesome work, 'cause this is simply one of the best things I've ever seen & listened in the world, HANDS DOWN !

  • @comadose25
    @comadose25 Před 10 lety +1

    I would've gladly given one, or both, testicle(s) to get to see this whole concert live. Such an awesome performance I can only imagine how great the rest was.
    Goosebumps. Doomtree is amazing as a whole, and Dessa and Cecil Otter are amazing as solo acts (or a duet) as well. The KEXP set on youtube is fantastic as well. You can really feel the soul behind the music when the perform live.
    If this was some bizzarro-universe where I had never heard of Doomtree, this video alone would be enough to cement their status in my list of favorite artists.

  • @S0phie92

    @IAMBOOGiNS That's Aby Wolf and she is mad talented in her own right, understand how she ties into Dessa's music and you will get a better picture. She has a great voice and is obviously passionate, don't mistake passion for annoyance.

      @femmemommy Před 4 lety

      The 'business casual' matches his look in general, and seems to also match his personality too. Then when he opens his mouth... holy shit! The conservative HS English teacher dude, and the dope emcee contrast.... is so much more effective!

    The violin in this live version adds so much to an already gorgeous song. I wish they had included it in the studio version, but regardless, I love both versions.

    Cecil is the fucking bee's knees in this. He has one of the best/unique voices in hip-hop today. I usually don't argue anonymously over the internet but hey... You're wrong.

  • @KissedbySunlight
    @KissedbySunlight Před 12 lety

    @IAMBOOGINS the point is that she isn't necessarily part of the whole. Dessa intentionally uses her as a featured vocalist in most songs. If you watch live performances of most of her songs, Aby plays that role. However, on some songs (Kites) Aby calmly "chills" in the background, content to harmonize.

    Was just told to look up Doomtree to check them out but couldnt get into them as a group to electronic trip hop for me but then I came across a song Dunk Tank Travel with POS and Cecil Otter..that was dope. Didnt expect it after trying to listen to the group project but as an emcee Ceil is the essence of emcee story telling so Im gonna dig a bit deeper...Check my guys out couple new tracks we put out...The Rec Center..Mozes Gun.....

    Let's just say that they are good based on their education, which I googled. That being said, I do not like much before or after the no kings album. SO ,,,,some kind of magic happened and they absolutely killed it when they made no kings. I can hear it all day and it always brings tears to my eyes, without fail
