I really hope people look into the messages in her music, it feels like she’s arguing for human survival and we’re just nodding our heads to the beat

She looks so good here, shining. I remember seeing her as a freshman in college, and could visually see the turmoil she was experiencing at the time. So it’s really good to see her here getting her flowers 💐

This is what a real artist looks like.

LOVE Noname, her flow, her message, her aura, her book club and activism, just an amazing, awesome, cool, intelligent, divine person!

I thought the same thing…I don’t regularly listen to her but I remembered the last tiny desk, which I liked a lot, and when I heard her start the first song I did the “is this the same girl” look. She looks great and her music is only getting better as she matures as a musician.

Noname's flow is SICK ASF. She is DESERVING of much success! Sundial from this BEAUTIFUL hip hop star is worth a listen! ❤

What I dig the most about Noname and her whole crew is the originality. It doesn't sound like anything else. Bars, style, and a smooth edge. This is the expansiveness of the culture over the next 50 years. Well done.

‘All I am is everything and nothing at all All I am is shoulder for your heart to lean on All I am is love All I am is love’ Just the most beautiful lyrics ever

Had the absolute honor seeing noname tonight in Cleveland. Her touring band are the same people featured here. They were all so amazing, genuine, and talented. So thankful for noname and how much her art has done for so many.

I’ve watched this 20 times and it keeps getting better….

This is unreal. The bass player growlin'...the twinkly keys...the mic spittin'. WOW.

My favorite part of this performance is seeing the glow in Fatimah’s whole aura. You have to love seeing artists grow into who they truly are as they become more comfortable with putting themselves out there. This episode was so energetic and happy

Noname has been on another level since her soundcloud days, this was such a great performance - "Don't Forget About Me" took me out! So many beautiful surprises

The background singers 😍😍 their voices sent chiiillls up my spine and almost made me drop a tear. Such beautiful voices!

Exact thoughts after hearing the new track!

This set is absolutely amazing and so perfect for my spirit man... I lost my mother in October 2023, and I broke down in tears when she did, "Don't Forget About Me," (cry) Omg... Noname has the best project that came out of 2023. 🥰

Noname was the very first tiny desk I saw back in the day 😍I’ve loved her and tiny desk ever since 🤗🥰

she literally makes me cry every time I listen to/watch her

theres nothing like seeing a tiny desk concert for the first time and instantly feeling it, as soon as the first song starts (or even a moment before). the set makes you dance; makes ya laugh, makes ya cry, and as soon as it ends you instantly press replay. theres just something about this series, it has such high quality. and to see Noname on here a second time! at a difficult worldwide moment when she is the only famous person i would really want to hear from. amazing band! and thank you Noname for speaking the truth, and for saying things that need to be said, in such a profound, beautiful way 😭 Music is healing. its so powerful. im sincerely grateful to everyone who makes this happen.

It’s incredible to see her growth through the years. Not just as an artist but as a performer and a WOMAN. There is a different glow here. No more hiding :)

She was never out of breath.

Noname got me hooked on Tiny Desk. So glad to see her back, new album is one of the best out there. Also gotta get Ayoni back here for her own tiny desk, she's amazing

Noname has had so much growth but her old catalogue is still filled with classics... So good to see her in a positive space after all the BS.

Common sent me here from a podcast. Chicago is a talented city. Salute from Brooklyn NY

So rare to hear radical voices succeed at this level. Keep speaking noname, we love ya

Not only is she a dope artist, she really cares about our community and culture. I been apart of her book club for 3 years and had the pleasure of meeting her at Marcus Book Store in Oakland, California ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿❤️💚🖤

Noname had one of the best rap albums this year. Such an underrated artist.

replayed this as soon as it ended! made my day 100x better. was cheering and clapping at home, & screamed a little when smino and saba came on. big love to noname

so thankful to Noname for her gift. this album is one of the best this year. the growth is so inspiring.
