I was at this music festival spread across a city and after taking a piss in one of the venues i came out and saw the coolest human i have ever seen in my life just sat in a chair just sitting doing nothing except being cool as fuck. Then like 10 minutes later the same guy up on stage mesmerizing a whole crowd haha. I had no idea who Willis Earl Beal was at the time

Every pitchfork-reading hipster doofus is jerking off to this right now.

[Koenneok]

Great artist!

[Adrian Hernandez]

The highest audio downloaded in the bay. No pues wow.

[iherdyewliktehcat]

it's an interesting juxtaposition having to skip a bunch of commercial bullish like adidas adds to listen to music like this on youtube, they should have a commercial for this before mainstream rap videos, just give people a chance to hear something new

Sounds like a lost blues recording, while still wholly modern, somehow. Genius.

[Loizeau Germain]

thats the whole point... smdh

This is shit to you? And I suppose Nicki Minaj is high art to you.

[Taehyun Kim]

Who listens to this kind of shit?

[McSizzle33]

The reason the live version is better is because it's with ridiculously good recording devices, and he recorded this on a 4 track at his fucking grandmas house! This guy was homeless for a period of time, the lo-fi adds character.
