Saw loyle in brooklyn this past October and he was unreal. The power went out for the instruments on stage so for the last 15-20 mins he was just going acapella. One of my favorite musicians out right now

[@dusttyroad]

This song is old but the video made it feel new. When a Verified is really good, it makes you revisit songs with a new gained perspective that derives from the artist himself.🔥💯
