Backed up by a keyboardist, drummer, and guitarist, Big Baby D.R.A.M. brought some flavor to NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series by performing a plethora of his singles.
The Virginia rapper led it off by making his own impromptu money sounds for his performance of “Cash Machine.” Following the performance D.R.A.M. said a little antidote of how the song came to be and when he recorded it.
“I recorded it back in June of 2015 when I got that first big check,” he said to the audience. “Soon as I saw that joint, it was instant inspiration.”
D.R.A.M. went on to perform other songs from his last year release, ‘Big Baby D.R.A.M.’, like “Cute,” and “Sweet VA Breeze.” He then performed Chance The Rapper’s single “Special” off ‘Coloring Book.’
To close things out, D.R.A.M. performed his biggest song to date, the Grammy-nominated “Broccoli.”
“Quiet as kept, we sold 4 million copies of this record,” he shared. “It’s Grammy nominated. I’m very thankful to be going to the Grammys this year for that.”
