NPR Music has been on a roll with their Tiny Desk Concert series.

IN the past few weeks alone, they’ve had dynamic performances from Khalid, GoldLink, Jorja Smith and GZA. Now, they’ve sourced the living legend Rakim for another spectacular episode.

With a full band backing him up, The 18th Letter performed his classics “Paid In Full” and “Know The Ledge,” and also added in his latest single “King’s Paradise” — from the second season of Luke Cage — to the delight of the diminutive crowd.
