A live concert filmed in 2026 for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk, the famous series recorded behind the desk at America’s public radio offices in Washington. Before one of the largest crowds the show has ever hosted, rapper Cardi B delivers an eight-song set performed entirely live with a full band: “Hello”, “ErrTime”, “Man of Your Word”, “Be Careful”, “Up”, “AH HA”, and to close her classics “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It”. The acoustic, no-frills Tiny Desk format reveals another side of her songs, here carried by a polished musical direction, horns, keys and backing vocals. This live recording highlights the stage ease and humour of one of the most striking voices in American rap. For hip-hop fans, this filmed live performance offers a vivid, organic version of tracks that are usually heavily produced. A live performance to watch in its entirety. A full live performance that captures the warmth, humour and craft behind one of rap’s biggest stars on an acoustic stage.
