Juvenile finally got to feel what it's like to perform at a "Tiny Desk" concert.

On Friday, June 30, NPR Music delivered its final installment of their Tiny Desk Concert: Black Music Month edition featuring the Cash Money artist. Juvie recruited his longtime friend and producer Mannie Fresh and a live band to help him bring his classics to life. During the show, Juvenile performed fan favorite like "400 Degreez," "Bling Bling," "Ha," "Slow Motion," "Nolia Clap" (Remix) and plenty more. He also tapped other respected artists like Trombone Shorty and Jon Batiste to join in on the fun performance.

Juvenile's appearance on "Tiny Desk" comes just a couple of months after he discovered what the concert is. Back in April, a fan tweeted that they wanted to see Juvie perform on the program. The tweet went viral, in part, because the New Orleans native quote-tweeted the fan a few days later and asked "Wtf is a tiny desk?" before he declined. After thousands of users answered his question, Juvenile reconsidered, but only if he got over 10,000 retweets.

"Ok ok 😂😂 All Things Considered, 10k retweets and I will RECONSIDER doing @NPR Tiny Desk while drinking an ice cold #JuvieJuice from @UrbanSouthBeer!!!" Juvenile wrote.

Clearly, he got exactly what he wanted and then some. Juvenile flew to Washington D.C. to record the performance with his crew a few weeks ago. Not only did he perform all his hits, but he even did his most popular song "Back That Azz Up" twice. Watch the entire show below.
