Meek and Drizzy team up for the visuals to the current single off Dreamchasers 2, which is rumored to have been downloaded over 6 million times. Who knows if that number is close to accurate, but any way you slice it, Meek is winning right now. He’ll be in Seattle on Wednesday and word is, he’ll be dropping by the studio for an interview. MMG don’t stop.
While I don’t think anyone is capable of improving on Frank Ocean’s flawless original, I was happy to see Yuna cover “Thinkin’ Bout You.” She came with a unique twist on it and it turned out dope. There’s a rumor that a certain Seattle based radio show might be linking up with Yuna in a few days for an interview and exclusive acoustic performance…
Nothing too fancy from Spitta for the “Showroom” video, but it has the basics you’d expect with this song: cars, gear, and weed. While the visuals are pretty basic, I wanted to post it mainly to highlight the beat. Crazy slap from Cardo…
Even with the product placement (which I’m ok with if it provides more support & exposure for the band), Little Dragon can do no wrong. Pretty much in love with the band and Yukimi at this point. #NoShame
And speaking of Dom, here are the visuals for the lead single off the Yellow Album. DJ Dahi killed this beat and the verses, especially the second, are hilarious and classic Dom (“I don’t even drink soda!”). Hey, when it ain’t broke…don’t fix it.
Stevie’s on his mid-90’s steez throughout The Cashmere Killer and it’s evident again on the video for “Iverson.” Large Professor on the beat. Dope stuff. Download the project for the freeeeeee right here.
Visuals for the excellent “Hell’s Angels” off Thurz’ equally dope L.A. Riot (side note: RIP Rodney King) project. BJ’s voice is absolutely ridiculous…does anyone handle harmonies like him these days?
Pinder heads out to Hawaii (and what also looks like Los Angeles) for the video to “A Learning Game” off his official debut album, Careless. And while it’s shot fairly similar to Kid Ink’s “Time Of Your Life,” the clip turned out great. When it comes to Seattle hip-hop, obviously Macklemore is getting a ton of notoriety (and rightly so), but JP is quietly having his own success around the country. Couldn’t be happier to see him winning right now. Keep going Pinder!
Not mad at this for a radio single one bit. Hoping Tip has a hit on his hands with this one for the summer, but I doubt it will catch on that well. Radio/Video seems only enamored with 100+ BPM records at this point…
Teaser from Frank and Nabil featuring his new “Cleopatra” record. Frank will be performing at Showbox Market on July 13th here in Seattle and you won’t want to miss it.
