Watch Portland’s Portugal the Man and the Last Artful Dodgr Back Up Black Thought of the Roots on “The Tonight Show”
Last night, Roots rapper Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter stepped out from his duties fronting The Tonight Show house band to serve as the show’s musical guest, performing a medley of “Quiet Trip” and “Nature of the Beast,” two tracks from his new solo EP, Streams of Thought. And he called upon two Portland-affiliated artists to back him up: alt-rock hitmakers Portugal the Man and rapper the Last Artful Dodgr.
