Raekwon – “I Got Money” feat. A$AP Rocky (Prod. Symbolyc One)

Eh yo, Rocky. A$AP Rocky! Need you to bring the best of the new school and team up with the Wu-Tang Golden Era power mover Raekwon on a track and see what happens, okay?

Shiiiid, what did you think would happen? Hip-Hop excellence! This “I Got Money” track – produced by Symbolyc One – is giving heads another reason to consider copping that “F.I.L.A.” full-length when it drops week… or you might pre-order now via linkage to the earlier post below. Up to you.

Planet Asia – “Grade A Ism” (Prod. By Dirty Diggs) [Video]

F#ck talking. Show me Gouda!

Planet Asia talks a lot more ish than that in this one; in the grandest tradition of lyrical braggadocio. Show me the money! Haaa! But the overall vibe carried by the visual is laid back. Goes well with the track. Your ears are gonna love it. “Nautica Nagas” (the full project) is out now, too. Got it linked for you below.

Rick Ross – “Quintessential” feat. Snoop Dogg (Video)

Maybach Music. Wild and crazy but still chill. This is the visual for Rick Ross’ “Quintessential” single off his “Hood Billionaire” LP (out now). Featuring Snoop Dogg lending lyrical weight to the champagne and good smoke party. Gotta say the start is the funniest part: Pawn Stars’ Chumlee driving the hard bargain for blonde booty with Rozay trying to get that money out of her. Hilarious!

Georgia Anne Muldrow – “Great Blacks” (Prod. By Chris Keys) [Video]

Georgia Anne Muldrow? Doing Hip-Hop? That’s right… and well! Check out the video above for “Great Blacks” (produced by Chris Keys). Such a vibe: Like a clip from a ’90s Spike Lee Joint (especially with the jazzy brass in the beat), channeling the best in emceeing and beautiful presence of a sista. Good next level look for Georgia. Very nice! The single will be on the forthcoming “A Thoughtiverse Unmarred” (due out May 19, 2015); available for pre-order now.

PRE-ORDER: GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW – A THOUGHTIVERSE UNMARRED

Snoop Dogg – “So Many Pros” (Prod. By Pharrell Williams) [Video]

Incredible treatment for this video! All kinds of movie genres of the 1970s era touched on for content – Bond to Blaxploitation.

Well, she’s got a cameo in here. “Bush” (another thing certain 70s movies were know for) will have this single – “So Many Pros” – on it for the May 12, 2015, release.

Oddisee – “Belong To The World”

oddisee-good-fight

Love, honesty, and selflessness… that’s how Oddisee fights “The Good Fight.” It’s virtue meets Hip-Hop virtuoso.

For Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. It’s a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. It’s our ambition and greed warring with our sense of propriety – a list of paradoxes we all face when living and striving.

Even with the stacked odds against good music, and even good people, Oddisee refuses to submit. And look: To win the hearts and minds of people… FREE music! Sure you can stream “The Good Fight” (album), and buy if you like. But he goes further. Giving away a single (“Belong To The World”). Give it a listen. Hit the link below.

ODDISEE – BELONG TO THE WORLD | THE GOOD FIGHT (ALBUM)

Oddisee – “CounterClockwise” (Video)

Oddisee’s produced a li’l jazzy some’n some’n for you all to grove to. It’s like he’s rhyming right in the grooves of the track, too (for all you heads that remember when vinyl was king). The “CounterClockwise” single will definitely be on his album “The Good Fight” (due out May 5, 2015).

“CounterClockwise” is about being there for people & them working against you as a result. Becoming the bearer of their problems because they know you can handle it.
Oddisee

Interesting. Enjoy the visuals. See if you get what Oddisee is trying to get across while he’s walking across, here to there.

PRE-ORDER: ODDISEE – THE GOOD FIGHT

So nice. SO very nice. Loaded with treats for the eyes and ears. And that’s the real ish from PHONY PPL. Set like a video model open call, the crew gets a lot of lovely ladies to fall through.
