Lance Russell and the Memphis Wrestling fans in the studio are amused, having just watched Dream Machine's "Ally Oop" video. However, Dream Machine doesn't think it's funny and, in fact, believes Lance is trying to make him look like a fool. Warning: Some viewers may be shocked to see Lance Russell being man-handled and intimidated like this.

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Oct. 1, 2020 | Bobby Carter -- In this Tiny Desk (home) concert, R&B star Jhené Aiko coasts through an eight-song medley that plays like the ultimate nod to her legions of fans — fans who've been begging for a Tiny Desk for a long time.

The Los Angeles native's star status is a result of her music's versatility and vulnerability. Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo has carved out a space of her own over the past decade, despite a rapidly changing R&B landscape. As a songwriter, she leaves no stone unturned, explicitly expressing her struggle, joy and sexuality while always administering the vibe.

Her latest album, Chilombo, released just before the pandemic hit the U.S., doubled down and leaned into the therapeutic nature of her songs — and that same aesthetic fuels her Tiny Desk. Backed by an ensemble of masked players, Aiko bookends her set with a sound bath of singing bowls that's peace personified through sound.

SET LIST
"Lotus (Intro)"
"Stranger"
"Do Better Blues"
"To Love & Die"
"Born Tired"
"W.A.Y.S."
"Summer 2020"
"Eternal Sunshine"

MUSICIANS
Jhené Aiko: vocals
Julian Le: keys
Bubby: bass
Gracie Sprout: harp

Lyrics:

Bands a make her dance

All these chicks popping pussy
I'm just popping bands
Bands a make her dance
Bands a make her dance
These chicks clappin'
And they ain't using hands

All these chicks popping pussy
I'm just popping bands
Bands a make her dance
Bands a make her dance
These chicks clappin'
And they ain't using hands

[Juicy J:]
Short hair like Nia Long
Loose one she don't need a loan
She start twerking when she hear a song
The stripper pole her income
We get trippy and then some
So nasty when she rolling
She put that ass off in my hands
I remote control it
She give me dome when the roof gone
At the K.O.D. she leave with me
She got friends bring three
I got drugs I got drinks
Bend it over, Juicy J gone poke it like wet paint
You say no to ratchet pussy Juicy J can't
Racks everywhere, they're showing racks I'm throwing racks
In the VIP rubber on I'm stretching that
Rich niggas tipping
Broke niggas looking
And it ain't a strip club if they ain't showing pussy.

[Hook:]
Bands a make her dance

And they ain't using hands

[Lil Wayne:]
Uh, pop that pussy for a real nigga
Pull out my black card, that's my lil' nigga
Make a movie with your bitch, Steven Spiel-nigga
Smokin' on Keysha, Cole give me chills nigga
What's your real name, and not your stripper name
I make it rain on ya, like a windowpane
Bands a make her dance, Tunechi make her cum
Hit it from the side like a motherfuckin' bass drum
Two hoes on one fuckin' pole
Two hoes on my fuckin' pole
I don't tip, I pay bills
Bitches call me Buffalo
Her stomach in, her ass out
I'm flyer than the ones they pass out
If money grow on trees, I branched out
I'm just waitin' for my bitch to cash out!

[Hook:]
Bands a make her dance
Bands a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussy
I'm just popping bands
Bands a make her dance
Bands a make her dance

Bands a make her dance
Bands a make her dance
These chicks clappin'
And they ain't using hands

[2 Chainz:]
2 Chainz, four bracelets
Let me see that ass clap, standing ovation
If yo girl don't swallow kids, man that hoe basic
Got two bitches with me, take a shot of one hoe
Using her friend for a chaser
Bands a make her buss it, buss it
Let me see you touch it, touch it
Money talk you ain't got none, end of discussion
Bands a make her do it, do it
Pocket full of money, money
Young nigga getting head while the engine's runnin'
Err! Let me see you wiggle do it for a real nigga
I be laughing to the bank, all you do is giggle
Balling in my coupe, call it sports car
Drop the top and freaking treat
That bitch just like a porn star

[Hook:]

I've been on a journey to be more intentional about everything I consume- what I eat, what I put on my skin, who I give my energy to. And the more I pay attention, the more I realize how much of what's marketed to us as healthy... isn't.
Today I'm talking about almond milk. So many of us switched from cow's milk thinking we were making the better choice. But what's actually inside that carton? I went to the grocery store, flipped the labels on three of the most popular brands in America, and what I found changed everything for me.
We're talking 2% almonds. Bacteria-fermented gels faking the creaminess. A mystery ingredient nobody is legally required to explain. And a recall that most people have no idea happened.
Then I show you exactly how I make my own — 5 real ingredients, nothing to hide.
Not all almond milks are created equal. And that ends today.

Atlanta Falcons target physical playmakers in the 2026 NFL Draft, seeking big, fast wide receivers and imposing corners capable of making an immediate impact. Are Chris Brazzell (Tennessee), Ted Hurst (Georgia State), and Jeff Caldwell (Cincinnati) the next key additions to an offense built for vertical threats and YAC potential? Host Aaron Freeman evaluates the fit of these X-wide receiver prospects while dissecting the need for a true complement to Drake London. On defense, cornerbacks Davison Igbinosun (Ohio State), Devin Moore (Florida), and Tacario Davis (Washington) emerge as top CB2 candidates to boost Atlanta's man coverage strategy and support A.J. Terrell against the NFL’s toughest wideouts.

Josh Kendall (@TheAthletic) joins to discuss whether Atlanta should draft for need or stick to best player available, and if trading back offers real value after losing their first-round pick. With key roster holes at defensive line and wide receiver still unresolved, hear why this Falcons offseason is all about strategic swings and long-term roster building.

Tom Huizenga | July 23, 2026
I told myself I wasn’t going to tear up at this Tiny Desk by The War and Treaty. So much for willpower. When a performance is this strong, there’s no holding back.

For more than a decade, Michael and Tanya Trotter, a husband-and-wife duo based in Nashville, have delivered music directly from the heart. There is no pretense; they are exactly themselves. Naturally, it helps to possess voices rich in both opulence and amplitude, along with emotive astuteness. Michael can toss off a gritty scream reminiscent of Bobby Womack, but touched with the sensuality of Teddy Pendergrass, while Tanya can rock out her voice, à la Tina Turner.

Tanya traces her career roots back to Washington, D.C., while Michael’s back story is more tangled. He taught himself piano as a soldier when there happened to be an instrument in one of Saddam Hussein’s palaces where he and his U.S. Army unit were encamped during the Iraq War. Later, he suffered from PTSD — along with suicidal thoughts and homelessness — which inspired him to write “Five More Minutes.”

That song blends classic soul with rock, just two of the many genres the Trotters routinely merge. There are flashes of country, Americana, R&B and funk in their songs. A retro soul vibe runs through this Tiny Desk set, enthralling the audience, which included local family members and the legendary DJ Donnie Simpson.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut album, Complex Simplicity, Teedra Moses came draped in all red, the same color she wore on the album’s cover. She couldn’t wait to get into the office and sing. Admittedly, I held off from formally inviting her to play the Desk for a couple of years because I knew this landmark was approaching, and this album was worth honoring in a major way. She rarely performs songs from Complex… exclusively, so she brought family and invited special guests to participate, including long-time collaborator J. Black and Tiny Desk alumnus Durand Bernarr.

2004 was a banner year for R&B albums, with debuts from John Legend, Ciara, and Fantasia. We also got the final album from Destiny’s Child and Usher’s magnum opus, Confessions, among many others. Moses came at a time when love songs still reigned supreme and while she carried that tradition into Complex Simplicity, on the flip side, she also wrote about how she really felt, which makes this album so unique. The balance of hard, soft and slick was a refreshing formula. Moses’ brazen approach to songwriting influenced a generation of women in R&B, like SZA, Summer Walker, and Ari Lennox. Behind the Desk, she ran through the best of Complex Simplicity, closing with the original and Kaytranada remix of “Be Your Girl.”

SET LIST
“Caught Up”
