Saweetie has screen presence, that much can be said without reservation. Her debut video “Icy Girl” skipped the line of succession. She followed that up with an acting role in Quavo’s “Workin Me” video, playing his forbidden love interest to rave reviews. When it came time to pitch further proposals, “Up Now” seemed like a logical choice for music video retouching. It stands to reason that “Up Now” with London On Da Track proved far too rich not to suffer the same fate.
For the occasion G-Eazy gets a do-ever; he now looks the part of a strung-out Scotsman. Saweetie also compels Rich the Kid to drive down the cost of his submission by posing on a giant-sized screen, his earthly presence rebuffed. But eventually he does appear from the dugout alongside the strung out Scotsman and Bay area overseer E-40. Regrettably, my invitation got misplaced by the US Postal Service.

Bun B announced his album, Return Of The Trill earlier this year while serving up some seafood patties. While it’s an unorthodox way to introduce a forthcoming project, fans were nonetheless stoked to know that one half of the UnderGround Kingz will be blessings us with a new album. While the initial release date for the project was set for March 16th, that clearly didn’t happen but this Friday, we’ll officially get the project in its entirety. Before it drops, he shares his new music video for “Recognize.”
Earlier this month, Bun B recruited T.I. and Big K.R.I.T for the track “Recognize” and today, he comes through with the official visual for the song. The video was directed by Boomtown Productions and features the three rappers posted up and performing the track in a warehouse filled with blue and green lights.
Peep the video for “Recognize” and make sure you check out Return Of The Trill out August 31st.
Reese LAFLARE is a promising figure in Atlanta’s music scene. Although he’s been grinding for a minute, his self-titled debut album came just two weeks a go. The project is his strongest yet and hailed features from Young Thug, Smokepurpp, Ty Dolla $ign, Pusha T and many more. He’s already released the music video for “Nosebleeds” with Young Thug a few weeks a go. Now, he welcomes everyone to LaFlare County for his new music video for “Much Better.”
Reese LAFLARE is back with some trippy visuals for his single, “Much Better.” The rapper’s latest music video takes inspiration from Harmony Korrine’s “Gummo” and the rapper brings you into a wild and trippy trailer park in LaFlare County.
“The inspiration behind the video was Gummo, the Harmony Korine film,” LaFlare told Paper Magazine. “The video was shot and directed by my friend Millie. She is a photographer from London and me and her have always had a connection over certain creative things. When it came time to shoot the first video for my album, she was my first choice.”
Peep his new video above and check out our recent interview with him below.
TDE’s latest signee Reason is looking to establish his foothold on the game. In the wake of dropping off a new single “The Light,” Reason has continued to expand his portfolio with some new visuals for “Better Dayz.” Immediately evoking memories of the posthumous 2Pac album Better Dayz, Reason does right by Pac’s legacy, kicking things off with an evocative and powerful image of himself bleeding out from a head-wound; worry not, for he has retained the ability to rap.
Juxtaposed against the slow-zooming anchor shot is footage of Reason’s day to day, as he navigates his home-turf with utmost respect. Aside from the subtle conceptual ideas brought forth by the image of a dying man, the clip remains rooted in West Coast traditionalism. In no way is that a detriment. Peep Reason’s latest now, courtesy of Top Dawg Entertainment.
PnB Rock may be a confident man, but that doesn’t stop him from harbouring the occasional insecurity. For one, the artist seems to have a striking intolerance for being placed in “The Friend Zone,” a fate that has befallen plenty of would-be wooers for generations. Evidently, PnB seems ready to dodge the zone entirely, as evidenced by his latest visuals for “ABCD (Friend Zone).” Taking to the porch for the home-field advantage, the bespectacled singer sets his sights on a young lady, and proceeds to move accordingly.
“Miss me with the friend zone,” he sings, leaving some to wonder whether he ever had a chance of appearing there in the first place. In any case, it’s hard to say if PnB is self deprecating enough to paint a narrative in which he goes home empty handed. Look to PnB Rock for inspiration the next time you feel like courtship is imminent.
Lin-Manuel Miranda found a brilliant way to honor Prodigy, by commissioning a posthumous Mobb Deep record at the behest of the lone-remaining member, Havoc. The song “Boom Goes The Cannon” was released as part of Miranda’s #Hamildrops series, on the one-year anniversary of Prodigy’s death in June. Miranda says he was divinely inspired by Prodigy’s famous words “I’m only 19 but my mind is old” when he was “dressing up” his Alexander Hamilton character for the Broadway musical.
A few days ago, the “Boom Goes The Cannon” music video has surfaced to complete the tribute. The video undertaken by Derec Dunn & Charles O. Sanchis, of Distressed Asset Resolution in NYC, pays homage to Prodigy through a series of reenactments generally narrated by Havoc himself. Havoc waves a white Mobb Deep t-shirt with God as his witness, the group ethos restored. “Boom Goes The Cannon” is the closest Prodigy ever got to Civil War reenactment, after staging his metaphoric rise in a part of New York “similar to Vietnam.”
