Kwabs – Perfect Ruin (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on February 7th, 2015 by Hyphen

Man…Kwabs has one of the most powerful voices around. It gives you chills, quite literally in this video for “Perfect Ruin,” shot beautifully in a sub-zero location. Captures the song wonderfully…

Kwabs will release Love + War in May and this is the instant grat track when you pre-order now. iTunes / Amazon.

Chinx ft. Jadakiss – Dope House (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on February 7th, 2015 by Hyphen

Another guilty pleasure alert (shout to Fetty Wap).  I dunno, there’s just something about the record that I like, but content-wise, it’s the same ol’.  For ignorant times, make it Suntory Chinx Drugz time.

Sam Smith – Lay Me Down (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on February 5th, 2015 by Hyphen

To me, this is the best record that showcases Sam’s voice on In The Lonely Hour.  I still get chills at a few parts of this track.  Powerful vocals.

Jhene Aiko – Spotless Mind (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 31st, 2015 by Hyphen

New visuals from Jhene…which is really all you need to say. Hit play to see the video for “Spotless Mind,” a track inspired by possibly the greatest break up movie of all time and a pretty good take on what makes relationships so difficult, especially for 20-something’s.  Word to Joel and Clementine.

The-Dream ft. T.I. – That’s My Shit (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 31st, 2015 by Hyphen

It’s been a while since Terius has had a hit record, but if programmers make the right call, this one should be in heavy rotation.  Kinda the jam right now, don’t front…despite the steampunk Versace look in the video?  Radio killaaaaaaa

OnCue – No Way (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 31st, 2015 by Hyphen

Excellent visuals from the homey OnCue for “No Way” off his Angry Young Man project, which was executive produced by Just Blaze.  You can download the full project for free here, or support via iTunes here.  Either way, GET THAT.

Now we just need a video for “Don’t Forget Your Coat”…

Fetty Wap – Trap Queen (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 24th, 2015 by Hyphen

**GUILTY PLEASURE ALERT**

Could have done without the rapping (and the insanely awkward outro), but the hook and the sing-song parts kinda go hard.  LOL @ actually having a pie baked in the kitchen scene.  Fantastic.

J. Cole – Apparently (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on December 13th, 2014 by Hyphen

I really like the wavelength that Cole is on right now. Real, honest, genuine. Artists should take note: focus on telling your story and let your music come naturally. Don’t force it. Don’t chase radio singles. Do what fits. And use your voice to speak on the real:

Preach, Cole!
