Legen….. wait for it ❤️

Ayeeee🥰🥰

woooo!! 🎷🛻🎸💕

Yooo! I made it! That’s so cool 💕

I WANTED TO SEE ARKANSAS BANDS!

That’s my band at 2:18!!!

i wish a higher standard for supreme quality was enforced! as in not everybody and their cousin who can kinda play kinda sing can enter. the music is all that matters.

What a soulful and beautifully inspiring clip 🥹❤

10-12 entries from Brooklyn, and we weren't one of them. Oh well.

For the band I'm in to be included in this video is one thing.For me to be included in the same video as Philharmonik is someting else entirely, I bought Drugs from him a few years back. I'm the steel guitar player in a track suit around the 3:26 mark in case you were wondering,

Roll The Tape - Tiny Desk Future Artist 👉🏾 Take #1

I appreciate all the literal tiny desks 😂

I made the video!! Dooope!!

What a great video, so stoked for this year. Good luck to everybody!

cleo reed for the win!!!

That’s me!!!! WHAT. 1:56

While some wonderful artists and songs were featured, I'm dismayed that at least one entry from each of the states and eligible territories wasn't featured. For example, of the 125 (+/-) entries shown, none from Alabama or Alaska, however, there were 26 from California (~20%). Come on NPR, I know you can do better.

💗💗💗💗🎧😊👾✨

That was so nice of you for only including American artists! Great way to show music from around the world!

IT'S IRIS!!!! 2:44

GO CLEO!!!! GO PARISALEXA!!!! GO SLUDGE BUNNY!!!!!!

YEYAH TULSA!!!

I don’t see any explanation here why you STILL haven’t had Smino on TDC! Obviously not w Noname but his own dedicated performance. This oversight must be corrected, yesterday

BROOKLYN!!!

Beyonce on here would litrly break the internet. Just saying

Ugh. Lots of dross, a tiny bit of gold.

yay NPR knows I exist! 🥹 and this year’s entries sound sooo good

0:39 our king @uraelb made the cut ⭐️ thanks @nprmusic 🔥🔥

love being a part of this community! 🫶🏻🩷
