They’ve made music together since they were young teens, coming together in Edinburgh from places as far apart as Ghana and Maryland. Young Fathers’ hip-hop-infused poetry is intense; you can hear that on the group’s new album, White Men Are Black Men Too.
Translating that intensity was a challenge for Young Fathers at the Tiny Desk. Full-on drums and electronics weren’t going to happen on this day, so the group’s members chose another path — a quieter, more contemplative path — and just two songs made the cut, spanning only four minutes. It’s a brief but powerful introduction to their poetry and their possibilities. -- BOB BOILEN
