Slaughterhouse – Hammer Dance (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on April 29th, 2012 by Hyphen

Here’s the video Joe, Royce, Crook, and Joell shot for “Hammer Dance” while down in Austin for SXSW.  The Shady showcase where 50 did all of Get Rich Or Die Trying was probably the best show I caught while down there (shout to K.R.I.T., who killed that one by the way), so I’m happy to see some footage from Slaughter’s performance included here.

We’ll be airing my interview with these fellas on tonight’s Sound Session, tune in!

Lana’s latest visuals off Born To Die take aim at the party girls in Hollywood.  Self directed too.  Well done.

Fly.Union – The Hard Way (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on April 29th, 2012 by Hyphen

“The Hard Way is an impromptu shoot during their recent stay in Los Angeles. It encompasses Fly Union’s ascension to the top of the mountain and their continued rise in the music industry.”

In other words…the video won’t really blow you away, as it’s essentially some cool shots, a few video effects, and some font laid on top, but I wanted to toss it on the blog because these guys are consistently making dope records and deserve more exposure. We played this record on SNSS when it first dropped and it’s still dope now…

Statik might be the hardest working cat in the biz right now and even more amazing, he’s ridiculously consistent with pumping out good music. This time around, he’s back with his 1982 co-star, Termanology, for the newest single from their second album, due out May 22nd.

BJ The Chicago Kid – Dream II (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on April 14th, 2012 by Hyphen

BJ’s “Dream II” video features footage of his recent trip to one of the best cities in the world, Paris. With all due respect to The Weeknd, Miguel, and Frank Ocean, BJ’s Pineapple Now-Laters might be the best R&B release of the past year or so.  Stop sleeping.

J. Cole – Sideline Story (video)

Cole’s album is full of good records, but the title track might be my favorite of them all. Great beat and some heartfelt rhymes…can’t ask for more.
