shifted the course of his life, allowing him to exit his teaching career and produce music full-time. D Smoke's songs here — taken from his latest album, out earlier this year — acknowledge the disparities impacting the black experience that are simultaneously personal and universal.
The opening selection,"No Commas," is a heart-wrenching lament on injustice and inequality. The gentle touch of D's fingers moving across the keys complement the song's poignant lyrics, which he raps in English and Spanish. He also performed"Black Habits II," the affecting finale to, for the first time in a live setting. It's just one of the many reasons that this Tiny Desk is so special.
