Frank Ocean – “Lost” (Video)

One my favorite songs from Frank Ocean off of his latest album “channelORANGE” was the uptempo banger called ‘Lost’. I’ve had this song & the second half of ‘Pyramids’ on repeat thousands of times over the past few months. Glad to see that just like the ‘Pyramids’ record they decided to move on a visual to “Lost” as well. Check out the brand new video directed by Francisco Soriano as they capture live performance video of the R&B singers travels around the world.

Theophilus London – “Rio” feat. The Menahan Street Band

Theophilus London - Jayforce.comWhen I saw that Theophilus London had a new song called “Rio” I knew it had to be something good. Brazil is one of my favorite places to visit on the planet so I’m not surprised many artists are inspired by the country & the city of Rio De Janiero to touch upon it in their music….

“Rio” was written about my trip to Brazil in 2010. i never forgot the memories. felt like i had to dedicate a song to keep that memory alive.’

Fabolous – ‘Ready’ ft. Chris Brown (Video)

The Brooklyn emcee Fabolous takes it back to his Dominican roots by shooting his latest video “Ready” in the Dominican Republic. The premise of the clip featuring Chris Brown reminds me of a few people I know personally who’ve married a few ladies from that beautiful country. Kinda of like a Cinderella story if you will. Be on the lookout for Fab’s next project “Loso’s Way 2: Rise To Power” dropping June 18th…
