<\/div>\n

Last month, Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> performed a special Tiny Desk Concert for NPR<\/a>\u2019s Tiny Desk Fest, a four-day series of extended performances at the radio\u2019s coveted pint-sized stage. On Monday, NPR finally shared the video of the Houston rapper\u2019s 25-minute set, performed with Brooklyn jazz band Phony Ppl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even though it was her first time performing with a live band, Megan tore through some of her biggest hits like \u201cRealer,\u201d \u201cCash Shit\u201d and \u201cHot Girl Summer,\u201d as well as an old favorite, \u201cBig Ole Freak.\u201d The rapper also premiered a new collaboration song with Phony Ppl, called \u201cFucking Around,\u201d featuring vocals from band member Elbee Thrie.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be scared to get ratchet,\u201d Megan told the crowd at the top of her set, and she exuded her same signature charisma throughout. Although she wasn\u2019t able to do much twerking behind the Tiny Desk, she did show off her impressive breath control and timing when rapping against an acoustic drum set.<\/p>\n

After gaining an online following through viral freestyle videos, Megan Thee Stallion shot to fame this year with the release of her debut mixtape Fever<\/em>. The mixtape garnered extensive critical praise but was noticeably shut out<\/a> of this year\u2019s Grammy nominations, along with other significant releases from women hip-hop artists.<\/p>\n

In addition to her set with Phony Ppl, the rapper was interviewed<\/a> at Tiny Desk Fest, where she revealed that she\u2019s working on a debut album for 2020.<\/p>\n
