The infectious “Mr. Parker” from Kardi & Nottz’ collaborative album, Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself, gets visuals as well, calling back to your high school days. Very dope to see Kardi link up with Shi Wisdom, who’s one of the dopest up and coming singers around. If you haven’t downloaded the project yet, grab it here!
My favorite track from Habits & Contradictions gets some visuals courtesy of Q and David M. Helman. Now if I could only get a clean edit of this for the airwaves…
Quick strike EP from the homey Shad as he celebrates his birthday. 5 tracks, all sampling classic songs from his childhood. Along with Lupe, SK is my favorite writer in the game. Shout to my guys G and T-Lo as well. Download this immediately!
Alternate download here.
The homey Luck recently released the video for “Searchin'” off his highly underrated Beautiful Music 2 project and he filmed it in our lovely city of Seattle. See…it doesn’t always rain here!
Download the whole album here.
I always preferred No Doubt’s ska sound over their pop records, but they’ve generally done an admirable job trying to merge the two. I’m not mad at this record, but I really wanted to posted the video because Gwen Stefani is 42 years old. Are you kidding me? Whatever her, Nas, and Pharrell are doing, it’s downright spooky at this point.
And just for kicks, some of my favorite previous No Doubt videos:
One of my favorite tracks off Jared’s recent The 4th Chapter release gets the visual treatment from Nicolas Heller. If you like what you’re hearing, you can download the whole EP here.
While most of the country is out partying and enjoying the weather, Lana releases the video for “Summertime Sadness,” painting a melancholy feeling on the sunshine like only she can. Not particularly one of my favorites from the album, but still pretty good. The whole project is strong.
Another set of visuals from possibly the most slept on album of the past year, TiRon & Ayomari’s A Sucker For Pumps. First underwater spaghetti fight in music video history?
Stalley links up with Curren$y for visuals to my favorite record on Savage Journey To The American Dream. This hook couldn’t be more fitting with Rick Ross dropping “3 Kings” earlier today. And Meek was buzzing all around Seattle yesterday. Damn…all MMG everything right now. #TheTakeover

You should get one if you don’t have one. They’re awesome. Even if they only like sports when they’re courtside.
