Odd Future – Oldie (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 22nd, 2012 by Hyphen

Now this is an OFWGKTA cut I can get with.

At a photo shoot with Terry Richardson, the entire Odd Future crew started rapping along to their song as it played in the background and they ended up filming this impromptu music video.  Yeah, it’s 10 minutes…but that beat is great and each MC does his thing.  Tyler has the charisma of course, and Earl is everyone’s lyrical favorite, but I was pretty impressed by the other members as well.  Besides, you can tell they’re just genuinely having fun, kicking raps…and I love that.

Rittz ft. Yelawolf – Sleep At Night (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 18th, 2012 by Hyphen

White rappers be having theeeeeeeeeee worst relationships with women ever.  I need at least one of them to start rapping about their beautiful queen and happy life.  That won’t happen here, but the results are still dope.  Yelawolf is underrated on hooks too…

Jhene Aiko – 3:16am (video preview)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 18th, 2012 by Hyphen

SXSW had a lot of highlights, but seeing Jhene perform in person was definitely one of them. She sounded great too, which is pretty hard to do at a festival where horrible acoustics and inept soundboard operators are the norm. Impressive.

Here’s a quick preview of her lead single, “3:16am,” off her upcoming Def Jam debut. Fisticuffs on the beat.

I imagine that mothers and fathers everywhere can relate to this one. I’m still on #TeamIceGrill though.

14KT ft. Tony Ozier – Width (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 10th, 2012 by Hyphen

Possibly the most underrated producer in the game, 14KT, combines one of his amazing productions with handshot footage of family moments from 2011.  The result is a beautiful look into life and love. RIP to his pops.

Torae – For The Record (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 10th, 2012 by Hyphen

I just mentioned how I’ve been thankful and inspired to see NYC’s current generation continue the legacy of that classic mid-90’s boom bap and Torae is, of course, another prime example. Primo on the beat. Knowledge on the mic.

Maffew Ragazino – Decepts On The L Train (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 10th, 2012 by Hyphen

This is how you rap!

I’m so glad to see cats like Maffew, Action Bronson, Saigon, Roc Marciano, Sean Price, etc. still making that kind of NYC music that Biggie would have been proud of.

Co$$ – Love Is (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 10th, 2012 by Hyphen

Figured I might as well go completely in the opposite direction from the last post, from Bronson’s almost slapstick tales from the hood record to Co$$’ heartfelt rhymes about love lost.  It’s all about balance I suppose.

Anyway, this is that real life music.

Action Bronson & Party Supplies – Hookers At The Point (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on March 10th, 2012 by Hyphen

I think one of the YouTube comments summed it up best: “The more you listen to Bronson, the less he sounds like Ghost.”  I’d agree.  Bronson is a beast right now and completely freaking hilarious at the same time.  He’s one of those MC’s that I automatically check for every song he’s on and I’m positive that the Blue Chips project with Party Supplies will be fire.

My guy Pinder is out here killin’ it with new music, videos, and supporting Black Milk’s current tour. Really looking forward to checking out his project. The 206 is on fire.
