Soul Glo And Mother Maryrose Wreak Havoc In A Streetwear Store In Their Riotous Video For ‘Driponomics’

by

The hardcore and off-kilter rap world many acts and groups that are certainly worth paying attention to. One of them is Philly’s own Soul Glo, who is just a few months removed from the release of their fourth full-length project, Diaspora Problems. The 12-track effort combined many different music elements to showcase the group’s truly unique style and their energetic spirit is on full display once again thanks to their new video for “Driponomics” with rapper Mother Maryrose. In it, the band takes over a streetwear store and opts to absolutely wreak havoc in it while also terrorizing employees.

The new visual continues the storyline from the band’s previously released video for “Gold Chain Punk (whogonbeatmyass?).” In a press release about the new video, lead vocalist Pierce Jordan spoke about “Driponomics” saying the record is “or everyone doing what they have to do to get by and to get fly.”

In addition to sharing their new visual, Soul Glo is also in the midst of their month-long Show Me The Body Tour. The string of shows kicked off last week in Queens, New York and it’s set to continue into August and conclude with a performance in Baltimore, Maryland.

You can watch the video for “Driponomics” and see more info on the Show Me The Body Tour above.

Diaspora Problems is out now via Epitaph. Stream it here.

Mozzy Gets Raunchy In His ‘In My Face’ Video With 2 Chainz, Saweetie, And YG

The turn-up is real in Mozzy’s new video for “In My Face” featuring 2 Chainz, Saweetie, and YG. Produced by Mustard, who also appears in the video, the song is a debauched party anthem that finds Mozzy, Chainz, and Saweetie throwing in some genuinely raunchy verses while YG implores a female partner to “put it in my face.”

All the features involved are good looks; YG and Mozzy are fresh off their joint album Kommunity Service, so it’s good to see them reunite, Saweetie is a fellow Northern California resident who sounds more refreshed than ever here, and 2 Chainz and Mustard have made magic together in the past. All told, their contributions make for an upbeat West Coast jam that should help Mozzy edge closer to the spotlight — or at least hold down a spot in summer playlist rotations for the sunny months.

“In My Face” will appear on the Sacramento rapper’s upcoming mixtape Survivor’s Guilt, which is due this Friday, July 22. Previously released singles include “Lurkin” feat. EST Gee and “Open Arms.” Survivor’s Guilt will be Mozzy’s first release under Yo Gotti’s CMG imprint, which is another good look after the group received a wave of positive press in the wake of their NBA Finals anthem “Big League” and signing GloRilla. CMG is also recently released Gangsta Art, its first compilation album, on which Mozzy certainly gets plenty of shine.

Steve Martin’s ‘Only Murders’ Track ‘Angel In Flip Flops’ Gets A Sunny Music Video Featuring An Excellent Perm

by

In a last-minute effort to create the song of the summer, Steve Martin and the Only Murders In The Building team have cooked up what’s sure to be the best track of 1989! Just kidding, but Hulu has been going all-out with their music production here. In the most recent episode of Only Murders In The Building, the crime-solving trio learned about Martin’s character Charles’ hit track from way back in the 1980s.

“Angel In Flip Flops” is a summer anthem, featuring Charles and his beachy hair on guitar singing about his summer love, who happens to be walking around in a pair of flip flops, as one does in the 80s.

Hulu released a music video for the world-famous song, which has been sampled by “like, 50 rap stars” according to Charles’ step-daughter (played by Zoe Coletti). The video features some much-needed context: “The year was 1989 and Brazzos’ single, Angel in Flip Flops, was riding high on the charts… until the Berlin Wall came down.” As we learned in the episode, the song was a hit in Germany, charting at number 83, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Co-creator John Hoffman told Decider how the some came about. “When the notion came up in our writers’ room of Charles-Haden Savage, at the height of his success with his original Brazzos series, maybe having recorded an album that did really well in Germany before the Berlin Wall fell, we knew we had to talk further about it — immediately!” Hoffman explained. “When we shared this idea with Steve Martin — well, I think it was a day (if even?) before Steve had a title and a tune making its way through his genius mind and we were more than off and running.”

Of course, Charles’ friends Mabel and Oliver (Selena Gomez and Martin Short) did not think the song was genius. “I’m such a huge fan of terrible music. How have I never heard this?” Oliver says as they are listening to the track on vinyl. At least he has a nice perm on the album cover!
