Video: Dante Higgins – Glory (f. Reggie Jamz)
February 3, 2012 in Music Video
In rap, there’s being on the scene, a noteworthy name and then there’s making the leap. That leap comes equipped with explosive buzz, gaudy praise and the creation of a ceiling. At the moment, Dante Higgins doesn’t have a ceiling. As a schoolboy, Higgins has all the common man appeal you and I may have as regular joes and considering that he’s a rapper just amplifies it all.
“Glory” the first leak from Higgins upcoming debut album finds him flanked with Reggie Jamz (who channels every John Legend chorus ever) and by all means relishing in the fact that he’s next up. Punchlines about taking a haters gal and going so far as to be inside of his house naked with said hater’s woman taking pictures is not only a shot, it’s down right hilarious. Higgins will no doubt delve deeper into the narrative when the Dante Higgins Story drops on March 6th.
Drake & The NSFW Video For “Practice”
February 3, 2012 in Music Video, She Can Get It
Like you needed additional incentive to check out Drake, A$AP Rocky, and Kendrick Lamar on the “Club Paradise” tour. But in the event you just might have, Aubrey dropped via his Vimeo last night a nice little promotional video for the tour.
While it’s highly likely that model Kyra Chaos won’t be onstage during the tour, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a tad appreciative of the eye candy… and, admittedly, jealous because Aubrey picked quite the dangerously-curved woman to go to work on Take Care’s hate to love it track, “Practice.” Word to #DatAss (and kindly forgetting Mr. Graham’s abrupt entrance called to mind an awkward attempt to turn the video into a porn flick something it was not).
Check the video below and thirst responsibly, folks.
SIDEBAR: Drake Breaks Record For Most Rap #1s
Video: Nick Pratt – Comin’ Dyne Clean
February 2, 2012 in Music Video
Less than a week before he drops his Middle Finger Music mixalbum via DJ Booth, Dallas’ own Nick Pratt takes the country boy twang and mentality to the West Coast & Pittsburgh for his “Comin Dyne Clean” visual. Produced by K-Salaam & Beatnick, “CDC” revolves around the same topics most kids growing up in Texas and in surrounding areas felt on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday night. Look good, feel good, ride good. Directed by A Thieve$ Honor.
Video: SL Jones – Actin’ Bad
February 2, 2012 in Music Video
Through his Little Rock eyes, SJ Jones combines lyricism and a sense of awareness in the visual for “Actin’ Bad” off of his Flight Risk mixtape. Steadily gripping the wheel of his old school Chevy, Jones takes us through the city and his daily interactions. All without compromising a single thing about him.
Video: STS – Great Mood (f. A$AP Ferg)
February 2, 2012 in Music Video
While the world is still stiff armed by STS and his Gold Rush mixtape, another weekly flip should quench the thirst of those looking for more Sugar Tongue Slim. “Great Mood” features skittering drums and rapid paced delivery as STS & Ferg of the A$AP movement trade bars over a high end sample of Rick Ross’ verse from “That Way”.
Video: Doughbeezy – Grind
February 2, 2012 in Music Video
With the first video from Blue Magic, Doughbeezy brings us, “Grind”. The video directed by Be EL Be begins with Dough having words with a “Promoter” and continues to tell us about dealing with shady promoters, who won’t pay him for drawing a crowd, and lastly the rappers who keep bugging him about doing a verse for their mixtape. Doughbeezy’s “Grind” is obviously to see, and his dwindling double-time delivery & the smokey Sade sample keeps the listener more than engaged. Blue Magic drops March 1st.
Video: L.E.$. – Regulate
February 2, 2012 in Music Video
Sitting on a stoop, sipping on some Old E with a sneer and distaste for authority. No, it’s not a deleted scene from Ice Cube’s role in Boyz In The Hood, that’s the depiction of L.E.$. in “Regulate” where he snatches Nate Dogg & Warren G’s seminal classic and takes it for a joyride around the block. Even Menace with its cartoonish artwork reminds us that L.E.$. could be the light skinned version of O’Shea Jackson. He might have to talk to Killer Mike to see if he can take on the role sans any color or creed though.
