Having dropped his critically acclaimed debut project No Love Lostlast summer, rising hip-hop artist Blxst has yet to take a break. Earlier this month, the Red Bull Records and Evgle artist surprised his fans with a surprise two-pack EP featuring guest appearances from Russ and Drakeo The Ruler, and now the Los Angeles-based multihyphenate is back with a visual treatment for one of the standout cuts from the deluxe version of No Love Lost. 

The music video for “Chosen,” which features fellow West Coast artists Ty Dolla $ign and Tyga, transports viewers to the campus of a fictional college named Evgle University. The nostalgic video is shot by madebyJames, and over the course of the video, you can see how much of its inspiration was pulled from iconic college films such as School Daze, Stomp the Yard, and Love & Basketball.

In addition to the shots that depict quintessential college experiences such as tailgating and partying at frat houses, viewers also follow Blxst’s pursuit of a woman that he ran into while jogging at the start of the video. They eventually connect at the wild house party at the end of the video, and of course, Ty Dolla $ign and Tyga appear to perform their verses.

Check the video out at the top of the page and let us know what you think about Blxst’s latest visuals.

Curren$y recently dropped off his brand new album — a sentence that has been used with recurring frequency at this point. This time, the project in question is Collection Agency, a collaborative endeavor with the legendary Harry Fraud behind the boards. Should you have missed out on that one, be sure to check it out right here. 

Now, Spitta has come through to line up a new music video from the project, landing on the arguable highlight “Jermaine Dupri.” A homage to the legendary So-So Def mogul, not to mention inductee into the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame, Curren$y’s clip is about as laid-back as you’d expect. Never one to do too much, Spitta keeps it simple while posting up on one of his many luxury whips; at this point, would it really be a Curren$y video without his one true love?

Though not exactly the most ambitious music video ever created, “Jermaine Dupri” is effective enough to please. There’s a classy and distinguished air throughout, one that speaks to his status as a man who went from “hood rich to wealthy” by his own admission. Check out the new clip now, and show some love to one of the most consistent artists in the rap game, bar none. 

Ever since he first emerged on the scene boasting a notable co-sign from Kendrick Lamar, many have been eager to watch Baby Keem’s artistic journey unfolding in real-time. And now, a new development has occurred, as Keem has officially come through to deliver some crisp visuals for his recent single “No Sense.” 

Directed by Savannah Setten and executive produced by Dave Free, K.L. (mysterious initials to be sure), and pgLang, Keem’s new video is highly cinematic in nature. For one, it takes its time in unfolding, lingering on a given shot, and drawing as much emotion as possible. There’s a palpable feeling of isolation throughout, as Keem stands in front of a window in a reflective state, seemingly detached from his surroundings. Eventually, Keem retreats to a parking garage, ostensibly looking for an escape that does not come. Though the plot moves slowly on paper, there are plenty of deeper symbolic meanings to observe, proof that Keem is looking to challenge his listeners with multifaceted content.

Check out the clip for Keem’s “No Sense” now, and stay tuned for further updates on the young rapper’s upcoming album — whenever that ends up surfacing. 

The late Phife Dawg’s posthumous solo album is on the way, with the recent release of the Redman and Busta Rhymes-assisted lead single “Nutshell Pt 2” setting a welcome tone for hip-hop heads. And though the Tribe Called Quest legend isn’t here to see this one manifest, his memory certainly endures thanks to some clean new visuals for the lyrically-charged track. 

Directed by Tony Reames, the stylized clip features performance footage from all three parties, giving off the impression that Phife, Busta, and Reggie Noble are spitting bars in the same cypher. What truly shines most in this clip, aside from the nostalgic rush of seeing Phife Dawg rocking the mic, is the dynamic presence of each emcee. It’s no wonder they were able to shine as collaborators on this one, not only committing to the established rhyme scheme (“In,” “Un” and “Keep” form the basis of each verse) but doing so with animated, unrivaled passion. 

Anybody who appreciates classic rap will find much to enjoy here — including, but not exclusive to, how seamlessly the late Phife Dawg holds it down alongside Busta and Redman. Check out “Nutshell Pt. 2” right now, and keep an eye out for more news on Phife’s upcoming solo album as it surfaces. 

Lil Tjay recently connected with Polo G and Fivio Foreign for their new posse cut “Headshot,” an up-tempo track that saw inspired performances from all parties involved. Unsurprisingly, the trifecta came through to prolong the song’s life-cycle, dropping off some extravagant new visuals earlier this morning. Clearly, Tjay has been enjoying the benefits of a bigger budget, a fact that’s made abundantly clear within the opening shot.

Set at a luxurious manor, a well-dressed butling team puts in work to ensure the grounds are up to the trifecta’s pristine standards. As such, though the clip itself is hardly the most original, it’s certainly appealing in a visual sense due to the vibrant colors and picturesque setting. All the while, Tjay, Polo, and Fivio flex accordingly, engaging in high-stakes target practice and racing remote-control boats to their heart’s content. There’s even a giraffe on deck for good measure, strolling about the grounds as Tjay fires off his up-tempo verse.

Be sure to check out the new music video from Lil Tjay, Polo G, and Fivio Foreign, and don’t be surprised to see this one rising in numbers as the weeks go on. 

Pooh Shiesty is easily one of the year’s breakout stars, and the 1017 rapper’s “Back In Blood” single continues to ring off. Having recently delivered his new mixtape Shiesty Season, a project that features Lil Durk, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, and more, the rapper has officially come through with a brand new music video for “Ugly.” 

Bringing Pooh’s Guwop collaboration to life is director Rendell Smith, who ably captures the track’s ominous and foreboding vibe. Surrounded by a gang of gun-toting women, Shiesty holds it down with calculated menace. He’s swiftly joined by his label boss Gucci Mane, who posts up in a police lineup as he sneers confrontational bars. It’s the perfect representation of their chemistry, highlighting their shared appreciation for the streets — it’s part of what made 1017 such an appropriate home for Shiesty, who captures some of that vintage Gucci Mane spirit in his own music.

Check out the Rendell Smith-directed video for “Ugly” right here.

Pop Smoke’s acting debut in the film Boogie is officially upon us with the movie earning its theatrical release last week. The Brooklyn rapper was on pace to become the next crossover superstar, making a huge splash on the charts with his posthumous debut album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon, which included the hit songs “For The Night” featuring Lil Baby and DaBaby, “The Woo” with 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch, “What You Know Bout Love”, and “Mood Swings” featuring Lil Tjay. 

As part of the rollout for Boogie, another posthumous single was released by Pop Smoke’s team called “AP”. The track unpacks the late rapper’s love for expensive jewelry, especially his Audemars Piguet watches. A music video was released for the song on Wednesday, alternating between footage from the film, videos of Pop performing, and unreleased content with the artist.

Watch the music video above and be sure to check out Boogie, as well. The soundtrack is available here, with more new music from Pop Smoke.

Toronto’s own LB Spiffy is teetering on the edge of superstardom. As a rising star, Spiffy continues to attract countless new listeners. “Again” just might be the banger that pushes him over the edge. Featuring Bankrol Hayden, “Again” is a melodic banger with a visually stimulating music video to match. 

The flashy visuals take several turns, spiraling through black and white solo cuts and red-tinged set pieces. Gorgeous women highlight the background as LB Spiffy croons about the ups and downs of his relationships. The catchy chorus is hard to get out of your head, although at some points the pop-infused trap beat does become repetitive. No matter though, the monotony is broken up by Bankrol Heyden, who sounds polished and excited on this single. 

Check out the “Again” music video and let us know what you think below! 

In the visual to “I Stand On That,” we find social distancing at its finest. The single is included on E-40’s joint album with Too $hort, Ain’t Gone Do It/Terms & Conditions, and it is a track that fans praised as one of the standouts with features from Joyner Lucas and T.I. All three of the rappers spit rapid-fire bars that perfectly pair with the Traxamillion production and flex that energy in the recently released visual.

In the clip, Joyner, E-40, and T.I. are each featured in their own room in a warehouse-like setting where they pose with classic cars and video vixens. Ain’t Gone Do It/Terms and Conditions was released just ahead of E-40 and Too $hort’s Verzuzappearance last year and was praised by fans. The 20-track project hosted features from artists like Freddie Gibbs, Brent Faiyaz, G-Eazy, Blxst, and Drakeo The Ruler. “I Stand On That” was chosen by listeners as a favorite, so check out the 40, Lucas, and Tip collaboration above.

We’re receiving more from the Only The Family crew now that the music video for “JUMP” has been released. The track appears on the collective’s recently released Loyal Bros compilation and once again, Lil Durk makes sure that King Von is immortalized through his music. We’ve previously reported on Von’s untimely shooting death in Atlanta back in November, and Durk, along with several of Von’s loved ones, has made it their mission to continue his legacy.

On Monday (March 15), the visual for “JUMP” by Durkio, Von, and Booka 600 featuring Memo600 was released and in the Crownsoheavy-directed clip, each artist is given their moment in the spotlight. The video shows them each playing their part in a deal as they set the stage for Loyal Bros, spitting bars about holding things down and staying true in a game that only looks to take them out. Check out the visual to “JUMP” and let us know what you think.
