[Video] King Rosé - SZA



I've already shared my opinions on this track back when I originally did the write up for it but I have to reiterate BARS. King Rosé tabbed the talented Helena Banks to direct the visual effort of his track "SZA" who delivers a excellent video, that is just as haunting as the production behind it and as technically skilled as Rosé verse. I'm looking forward to seeing what Rosé has cooked up for his upcoming Pushing My Luck project.

[Video] Freddie Gibbs - Deeper



Freddie Gibbs has probably had the best year so far (musically) dropping two incredibly dope projects in his collaboration efforts with Madlib (Cocaine Piñata) and The World's Freshest (Tonite Show). He returns with visuals for "Deeper" one of the standout cuts from Cocaine Piñata, if you remember this is part three of a series that dates all the way back to 2012.

Check em' out in order for the full story "Thuggin'", "Shame" and then "Deeper". Be sure to cop Cocaine Piñata if you haven't yet, it has my vote for album of the year so far. Kudos to director Jonah Schwartz.

Mike of Doom - Renaissance Man



It's has been a while since I've featured the homie Mike of Doom on the site, in no part is it due to lack of effort on his behalf (that's all me). On "Renaissance Man" he swaggers over a hard hitting Inf. Zero beat all while displaying his signature bravado and that braggadocious style that he has come to be known for. Even though no release date has been announced you can expect Mayor Whop's The Campaign soon. 

Mike also stated on Twitter that "might drop some 'lyrical' shit next Mayor Monday just to fuck with your head" so be on the look out for that. Hopefully he does it, I'm interested to hear what "lyrical" Doom sounds like. Lastly, if you haven't checked out his Rookie of the Year yet do that one of my favorites from 2013. 

[Video] T.I. - About The Money ft Young Thug



T.I. grabs Young Thug (aka Drop God's favorite rapper at the moment) for his latest single "About The Money" from his upcoming album Paperwork: The Motion Picture. Honestly going off ear and by looking at the comments I'm not the only one that feels this way, but the record is more like a Thugger track but it could be just the show stealing charisma he displays in his verse and the bridge another similarity he shares with his idol Lil' Wayne.

Anyway I enjoyed it, most definitely in my opinion, T.I.'s best single in years but judging by the comments on the video his "true" fans don't seem to care for it due to the song's trap sound and it featuring Thug. One question though...how the fuck is it "too trap" for him like T.I. didn't name an album Trap Muzik or spit this line?

[Video] ScHoolboy Q - Studio (Live Vevo Go Show)



ScHoolboy Q took to New York and a boat for this unorthodox performance of his latest single "Studio" from his Oxymoron album. Although this probably wouldn't be fun for more then a couple of songs, this would be a pretty awesome way to see one of your favorite artist perform but like Q I'm worried I'd get seasick. Be sure to check the official video a.k.a. the BeatsByDre commercial for "Studio" here.
