Marlon Craft - Dribblin’ (Live w/ Band) 

in 3 minutes he goes from calmly story telling, to drawing the energy from every person in the room delivering heat. Passion.

It was an honor to be in the room for this. Can't wait for the album 🙏

This is my favorite style of rap. Rapping with a live band is just amazing.

“Theres a lot riding on my like porzingis knees” still hit different in 2024

"There's a lot riding on me like Porzingas knee"....damn, lyrical genius.

Bro you actually sound unique and different. Honestly I’ve never wanted someone to get the fame and recognition as much as you should. Keep it up your time will come.

STAY ALERT, ITS A BABY GOAT

You can see the band giving eachother looks like 'oh shit, this kid's real'.

appreciate y’all for real man. much more on the way. please preorder the album if you believe. let’s show the world: sameplate.lnk.to/funhousemirrorpreorder

Mannnn. As a mid 30's guy who grew up listening to Hip Hop that told stories.. that made me think about things, this is IT. Thank you for not only this song, but the strength to put yourself out there. Much love and respect.

Bro this is one of the best songs I've heard in a minute. Lyrics, soul, and self-awareness. Craft forever.

The ball is in my court.. I don’t think they understand!! This track hit my soul!!!

You can tell by their faces they’re truly enjoying playing this. It’s a beautiful thing

Crazy mood change, I felt the vibes 🤯

You can see how fucking happy everyone in the room is just to be apart of playing this song and enjoying every moment

I still remember when Craft said "I was a rapper, now I'm a musician." I see what he meant. The other lives he has are dope asf also

I dabbled in Marlon crafts discography here and there over the last couple years, but after the last couple uploads, I'm a fan for life! Pure poetry!

It's crazy how he used dribbling as a metaphor for overthinking and self-doubt. Instead of shooting (his shot), he dribbles instead. His rhyme scheme to end the first verse is crazy. My favorite part of the song is the "shooter's shooting, I can't only dribble now"... "I've been living rental style, I think it's time to own me/" because it shows he finally figured out that he's holding himself back. He was transcending. You don't just write that without believing and feeling it. I think that resonates with a lot of artists... Self-critique eats away at a lot of people that would make it if they got out of their own way. I wonder if Marlon is upset that it took him this long to pursue his dreams or if he feels like he was right on time. Best rap song I've heard in a while. I got the same feeling when I heard War by King Los or Sing About Me by Kendrick for the first time. I really appreciate the attention to detail and effort Craft puts in his music. Playlist material for sure.

It's so hard being well into my 40s and find quality music done right .fkn hip hop is alive

No one going to say shit about the vocals of the woman on the hook through the track just killing it..The Sax too...Marlon Craft I've been listening for a couple years....I'm a kid from South Africa and imma make sure my block and my country listens to you

After this I have a new thing to add to the bucket list: See Marlon Craft live

This is fucking beautiful... real art..

It’s a ritual to come back and listen to this absolute banger

Just when ya thought hip hop was dead. Marlon Craft has entered the game.

Can’t wait till Craft goes on tour

IF you got talent, respect the culture and its Legends, you get my respect. Salute.

i dont understand why he isnt more fame ... from germany i think he is GREAT ... sorry for my bad english :D

Refreshing to see a full band and conscious MC come together. Classic vibe. Hip Hop world needs more of this right here....

Finding myself needing to listen to this every morning lately.

Live instruments + great rap = GOOD MUSIC

The solo at the end was cleaaaaaan

Is it weird that i have listen to this song 10x aday for Five days straight

Straight ART!! Got that original NY style with a twist that's Original As F***!! So excited for this new album Funhouse Mirror!! The name even got layers. CRAFT!!

Just no words. That flow. Damn Craft. Damn.. Rise up boy. Rise up.

You’ve found your flow and sound my guy, keep it up g ✊🏽

It’s crazy to me that gang shit has like 350k and this amazingly crafted, goat level vibe status jam has only 30k. Don’t get me wrong, gang shit is incredibly thought provoking and special as well. But damn man this vibe right here is something other worldly. Not many people possess this level of talent and soul. Endless props to you Marlon. Your work NEVER disappoints. 💯

The passion is seeping out

Craft been dope as hell!! Copping this one too!

the groove the summer went into at 2:40 was really smooth

its not a craft, its trade baby. keep pushing MC.

real music. the world better recognize!

just keeps gettin better man. not a wack song, verse, or bar.

Dude, I love the sound. This incorporates everything from a tribe called quest to Cannonball Adderley to G-Love. Keep it up, great voice and flow.

Mr.Marlon you keep me coming back to THIS.Brilliant.

The live band and the soul of a live performance, I loved it. Can't wait for the album to drop!

Keep doing your thing Marlon, I can’t wait for you to get the recognition you deserve. One of the realest MC’s.

This makes me really want to see Marlon do a tiny desk concert. Make it happen NPR.

Can't go wrong with a great lyricist accompanied by a great band playing hip hop music.

This was quite beautiful. I'm proud of this young man.

Don't sleep on him🔥🔥🔥

Everything I love about hip hop👑

Something about this live recording brings it to life just a bit more than the album version, I love it when you can tell hes getting in his zone and gets louder. Thats that soul and passion! The album version is good too, but this version is raw!
