Dessa and Cecil Otter of Doomtree - Little Mercy (Live at the Fitzgerald Theater) 

Broken bones are stronger from the breaking, no the dangers in the bending.... Dessa , one of my top 5 lyricists on my list

Dessa is the gold standard of live performances. Hands down.

I will never stop getting chills from this performance.

2023 and i still prefer this performance over the album version. and i still have a crush on cecil in this video.

There's something about Cecil Otter's voice.

I am so glad to have had the pleasure to have Seen Dessa and Cecil perform this live on several occasions. This is one of the best live performances you will see, glad to have this version on RU-vid to revisit on-demand.

Big ups to everyone involved in this production. Cecil is always solid and delivers smoooooth education. Dessa is a wild woman. Lovely! Aby Wolf has her claws in me. Love from the west coast of Canada!

Listening to this gives me shivers and tears. I hope I get to witness Doomtree at some point in my life, I'm obsessed, easily one my favorite track

"If you welcome every trespass, then every trams a guest/Give what they'll take from you then every thefts a gift" Wow. Just wow.

I'm so in love with this

I just randomly came across this! pretty awesome!

i cannot believe the talent these guys have... doomtree as a whole is incredible but cecil otter and dessa are a combo no one can begin to challenge. this song blew my mind this music is so underrated its disturbing... for the sake of your fans and the people you influence daily keep making music!

You classy, beautiful bastards. This is awesome.

Polica and Doomtree.... loooove.

Haha awww I know Cecil was complaining that Dessa made him wear a tie for the event! I was there and it was hilarious :)

I was at this show. So beautiful :)

Love 2.00 when they both smile at each other.

So damn good. Much love from the STL.

This is such an amazing tune, Cecil is so talented and Dessa is already some who you knew when! With No Kings, Doomtree firmly cements itself as one of the best acts to ever come out of the 612!

The talent on display is hard to believe.

How can I like this more than once!!!???

thumbs up to the epic back up singers!!! and this one's a timeless live collaboration!!!! cheers!!!

Creativity, and here, genius, have no boundaries, it saddens me to see people are arguing in the comments on that video, there's no time in life to do so, use your time only to listen to music like that, cause this is a real music diamond, I can't find words to describe the awesomeness of what I just listened to, these people should keep up that awesome work, 'cause this is simply one of the best things I've ever seen & listened in the world, HANDS DOWN !

This is amazing, I always loved Dessa but I never realised how talented Cecil was until I heard this on No Kings.

So pumped I was here, the violinist is so good

Cecil is a goddamn poet, cant get enough of this stuff, so much better then the album version, i wish they could record thing and put it out as a download!

I would've gladly given one, or both, testicle(s) to get to see this whole concert live. Such an awesome performance I can only imagine how great the rest was. Goosebumps. Doomtree is amazing as a whole, and Dessa and Cecil Otter are amazing as solo acts (or a duet) as well. The KEXP set on youtube is fantastic as well. You can really feel the soul behind the music when the perform live. If this was some bizzarro-universe where I had never heard of Doomtree, this video alone would be enough to cement their status in my list of favorite artists.

Again absolutely amazingly well

Goosebumps, very raw & amazing!

@IAMBOOGiNS That's Aby Wolf and she is mad talented in her own right, understand how she ties into Dessa's music and you will get a better picture. She has a great voice and is obviously passionate, don't mistake passion for annoyance.

Dessa is breathtaking!

Thanks for the inspiration.

Dessa and Cecil Otter combo is so killer.

every person performing in this song emanates cool

Absolutely fantastic. :)

my favorite doomtree song, ever!

Crazy, loved this. Hope they gonna drop a live DVD soon.

Amazing! Talent.

I love these women!

Unreal.

The violin in this live version adds so much to an already gorgeous song. I wish they had included it in the studio version, but regardless, I love both versions.

Yes man! Love it.

this is probably one of the most powerful songs from the new Doomtree album No Kings... and this version is far beyond epic. The whole Doomtree lot is a gang of frakking geniuses. TEN thumbs and toes up!!!

Amazing & unconventional song!

These people can put together good lyricism. This is another good example of a different hip hop. Not Common in today's world. It's exceptionally well. Not many know this type.

Ohh... chills... friggin awesome :-D

Sweet! So sweet!

cecil looks like that Cool high school teacher most girls had a crush, and most guys wanted to be like him.

Amazing...

Simon says I love all of you!

This is Classy.

damn cecil otters voice is fucken amazing...dessas too

Yes sir, and Channy from Polica in the middle. No bigs... :)

Before me, someone posted 3 years ago. WHAT THE FUCK. Doom tree deserves more than this 😁😁😁

yes that is Chastity Brown on back up

Dude, they had a violist for accompaniment! I think this is the first time I have ever seen that happen

Dope!!!

Sweet!

@IAMBOOGINS the point is that she isn't necessarily part of the whole. Dessa intentionally uses her as a featured vocalist in most songs. If you watch live performances of most of her songs, Aby plays that role. However, on some songs (Kites) Aby calmly "chills" in the background, content to harmonize.

i was at that concert- row 1 seat 1

cannot even fucking believe this was posted eight years agoooooooooo

I love Doomtree, Dessa is great here, but Cecil Otter... what can I say about him? He's simply amazing.

Cecil is the fucking bee's knees in this. He has one of the best/unique voices in hip-hop today. I usually don't argue anonymously over the internet but hey... You're wrong.

@S0phie92 you've been missin out! Cecil is a really really really good rapper. and producer!

Well that's because it is!

fucking amazing

They are incapable of doing a bad performance.

It's on No Kings, the newest album.

uff... they play in another league ... are geniuses

tándem perfecto

I found out about doomtree and co. through a trampled by turtles playlist. What a revelation.

Was just told to look up Doomtree to check them out but couldnt get into them as a group to electronic trip hop for me but then I came across a song Dunk Tank Travel with POS and Cecil Otter..that was dope. Didnt expect it after trying to listen to the group project but as an emcee Ceil is the essence of emcee story telling so Im gonna dig a bit deeper...Check my guys out couple new tracks we put out...The Rec Center..Mozes Gun.....

Yes! Yes to everyone responsible for making all of this happen!

How much more prescient can this become?

fuck yes

Polica singer... how did this come to be? Curious.. as two good artists emerge...

dessa is really pretty

damn hot violist! Perfect fit.

99 bucks for the DVD with the whole show !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone provide the credits for the other artists on Stage?

we'll make a little money then we'll buy a little mercy. boom, tears.

no kings, no pigs. just damn good poets.

Doomtree is always pushing hiphop forward, in every aspect of what they do

Cecil Otter cosplaying a high school math teacher

Can anyone tell me the name of the Violinist? Ive seen her in other videos. Its not Jessy Greene (the woman who is known to work with Doomtree)

What album is this song on? I've never heard it before, and I feel like I'm fairly aware of Doomtree collective releases.

Dave Hagedorn! My main man.

Is that Chastity Brown singing backup?

Let's just say that they are good based on their education, which I googled. That being said, I do not like much before or after the no kings album. SO ,,,,some kind of magic happened and they absolutely killed it when they made no kings. I can hear it all day and it always brings tears to my eyes, without fail

Cecil Otter needs to put out more content - nothing rushed that would ruin quality, it's just the is not much of a catalog

You could spend hours deciphering and analysing every line from a Cecil verse.

Damn, Cecil Otter is fine!

so fucking live & hot

Doomtee will get what they deserve one of these days.

svelte

Cecil cleans up nice! haha

is that paper tiger on drums???

0:34 tell me you dont get goosebumps.

till it hurts me... and it hurts me killer. i was gonna say it looked like Aby is gonna axe murder the other two a couple of times but it looks like it's been touched on already, haha

Cecils looks like a little church boy singing in the choir. LOL
