Reggie Watts: 'Untitled Improvisation No. 1,' Live On Soundcheck

But to watch him do his thing live, is even more extraordinary. He's truly masterful at looping layer upon layer of beats and rhythms, melodies and countermelodies, entirely with his voice, to create a dense and soulful, hip-hop-infused sound. And his hilarious lyrics seem to be pulled out of thin air, improvised with a sly wink and impossibly quick wit.

Watch Reggie Watts demonstrate his brilliant skills in an improvised performance in the Soundcheck studio.
