Raekwon – “The Brewery” feat. Ceazar-N-Reason

New video from Shallah Raekwon for “The Brewery” off of his Unexpected Victory mixtape that dropped at midnight on January 1st. This appears to be the second video release from the mixtape following the “Just A Toast” joint featuring JD Era, but it would be cool if he shot a video for the “MTV Cribs” joint with Busta Rhymes which is one of my favorites from that project. If you’re running late listen or cop the mixtape at the link below….

R&B: Jhene Aiko – “3:16” (Preview)

R&B singer & new Def Jam signee Jhene Aiko let’s loose this new teaser to her upcoming video entitled “3:16” which according to her interview with Soulculture is her birthday & of course today’s date. I’m thinking they may have not had enough time to actually release the full video at 3:16am on March 16th so why not a little teaser to prep the fans. I’m a fan of her earlier work with her free ‘Sailing Soul(s)’ album/mixtape so hopefully her new move to Def Jam is a good one for her artistically & from a marketing & business perspective….
