Moneybagg Yo is well on his way to earning his first #1 album on the Billboard 200. The Memphis artist emerged on Friday with the release of A Gangsta’s Pain which fans have been thoroughly enjoying. There’s a bit of everything for everyone from the soothing collaboration with Jhene Aiko on “One Of Dem Nights” to the TikTok-poised anthem, “Shottas.”

Leading the project was a thrilling banger alongside his artist Big30 titled, “GO!” The two rappers teamed up for the official music video which they released today. The video kicks off with the two rappers at a lavish mansion surrounding by women chopping it up about whose car is faster before putting the dialogue in motion and skrting through the streets. 

Check the music video out below and check out the rest of A Gangsta’s Pain here. 

Last fall, Ty Dolla $ign released his stacked third studio album Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and it arrived chock-full of high profile collaborations. The 25-track effort boasted features from Kanye West, Roddy Ricch, Big Sean, Anderson .paak, Kid Cudi, Post Malone, Musiq Soulchild, Kehlani, and several other mainstream music acts. One track that particularly stood out, however, was “By Yourself,” a summery, soul-sampling track featuring Jhené Aiko and Ty’s frequent collaborator Mustard.

Now, the song has a music video that’s just as bright as its production, as Ty Dolla $ign has just shared the official visuals for the revamped version of “By Yourself” that also features a guest verse from Bryson Tiller.

The vibrant music video for “By Yourself” boasts clear, bright blue skies and an all-around vibe that leads one to believe that the Featuring Ty Dolla $ign standout cut really has what it takes to be a huge record this summer. Bryson Tiller and Jhené Aiko both make appearances in the video to perform their contributions to the track, but one of the surprising faces that makes a cameo in the video is Tiffany Haddish. The Grammy award-winning comedian and actress pops up at the start of the video, and she even busts a few moves side-by-side with Ty Dolla $ign.

Scroll back up to the top and let us know if you’re feeling Ty Dolla $ign’s new music video for “By Yourself.”

Cordae is fresh off the release of his new four-pack EP Just Until…, which is meant to hold over his fans until his eventual album drop. The project includes features from Young Thug and Q-Tip, showing the range of the 23-year-old’s influences. Many times on the project, Cordae makes reference to his girlfriend Naomi Osaka, sparking social media’s interest as people continue to swoon over their love.

Putting pressure on the rap game, Cordae has officially released the music video for “Dream In Color.” The rapper and a few of his friends filmed the video at a vintage diner, having fun and keeping things low-budget. 

Watch the new video above and stay tuned because it looks like Cordae is about to have another big year. Do you think he might be setting himself up for another Grammy campaign?

Friday, iann dior returned with his first singles of the year as a lead artist and packaged them together under the Still Here EP. The two-pack included the lamenting heartbreak song “don’t wanna believe” as well as the Trippie Redd-featured “shots in the dark.” Since Still Here‘s release, the latter of the two singles has been gaining a considerably bigger amount of steam, so it makes sense that today, iann dior has decided to share the sci-fi visuals for “shots in the dark.”

Loyal fans of iann dior will likely remember that he and Trippie Redd previously collaborated on “gone girl,” a song from iann dior’s 2019 full-length effort Industry Plant, and the two artists went on to release its wonky sci-fi music video that portrayed iann dior and Trippie Redd boarding a rocket to go to outer space. Two years later, the music video for “shots in the dark” picks up where the video for “gone girl” left off.

The visuals for “shots in the dark” begin with an obvious nod to the iconic scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in which Fin (played by John Boyega) crashed on a desert planet and popped up into the frame looking absolutely bewildered. From there, the Star Wars references thin out a bit, but iann dior does stumble upon Trippie Redd, who is hilariously wearing regular clothes, in a Star Wars-esque bar. 

Head to the top to check out iann dior and Trippie Redd’s new music video for “shots in the dark” and let us know in the comments how you feel about the duo’s ongoing sci-fi video series.

Her Grammy-nominated album was released over a year ago, but Jhené Aiko is revisiting the project for 4/20. The Los Angeles songbird shared her Chilombo project in March 2020 and it was a celebrated collection that helped her receive a nod from The Recording Academy. She didn’t win this time around, but that doesn’t mean Aiko is finished unleashing visuals from the record.

On this mellow Tuesday (April 20), Jhené delivered the music video for “Tryna Smoke,” a track that is a must-have on anyone’s favorite cannabis-inspired playlist. The visual finds Jhené and her crew linking up for a weed cypher as they inspect their bag of bud and prepare themselves for liftoff. The hazy filter complements the energy as Jhené gives off ’70s-inspired vibes with hot pants, roller skates, and rose-colored glasses. 

Watch the visual to Jhené Aiko’s “Tryna Smoke” and share your thoughts.

It’s 4/20 and you know what that means… the official return of How To Roll. Our most acclaimed video content series has included the likes of Berner, Too $hort, G Herbo, Gunna, YFN Lucci, T.I., Rich The Kid, and many more of hip-hop biggest cannabis connoisseurs. The series returns with a new episode for our favorite unofficial holiday, with buzzing Staten Island rapper CJ joining us at the iconic Diamond Supply shop on Fairfax in Los Angeles. 

The latest episode of How To Roll features “Whoopty” rapper CJ, who introduces his own new weed strains. The platinum-certified artist is releasing three new strains for 4/20, including the exclusive “Whoopty,” “Blue Cheese,” and “ZaZa” strains. CJ explains that he’s got an indica, a sativa, and a hybrid– meaning all kinds of smokers will be able to enjoy his product offering today. For when you’ve got the munchies afterward, CJ also has a collaboration with Koko Nuggz. Because of his recent collaboration with Diamond Supply, we filmed the episode at their flagship store in Los Angeles.

CJ told us about the highest he’s ever gotten, the time he got caught smoking weed when he was only 11-years-old, and a horror story involving a joint that he believes could have been laced.

Watch the latest episode of How To Roll with CJ above and be sure to check out his “Whoopty,” “Blue Cheese,” and “ZaZa” strains for 4/20. Happy smoking!

Megan Thee Stallion’s album Good News was a massive commercial success and it was yet another instance of Meg showing the world exactly what she can do on the mic. She’s one of the most popular women rappers out there and with each new project, she shows some growth. One song that many fans gravitated towards was “Movie” which featured the likes of Lil Durk. At this point, Lil Durk is a cheat code of sorts when it comes to making a hit and this song is no exception.

Now, the music video for the track is finally here and as you can see above, the visual is all about the strip club. Meg’s music has always been filled with sexually empowering lyrics and there is no lack of that here. Her lyrics fit the visual components perfectly, as she and Durk are surrounded by strippers, alcohol, and a whole lot of cash being thrown around. It’s definitely a concept we have seen before although Meg and Durk do a great job bringing it all together.

Let us know what you think of the music video, in the comments below.

Chris Brown has some of the best music videos in the game. He manages to up the score every time he released a new visual and he successfully did it again with the video for “Go Crazy (Remix)” featuring Future, Lil Durk, and Mulatto.

The remix was released following the tremendous yearlong surge of the original record, which was a collaboration with Young Thug from their Slime & B album. The track quickly became one of Breezy’s most long-lasting successes, impacting the charts for many months. Giving the song its final push, CB has released the official music video for the remix, which sees the superstar artist taking flight from an airplane. Skydiving with the model seated next to him, Chris passed the baton to Lil Durk, who appears during a meeting with his therapist. The rapper eventually realizes that the trained professional is actually a robot when the scene cuts to Mulatto, who’s moving in a bubble room with two dancers. The three women crawl all over the walls before Future is introduced, hanging from a cliff with one arm. Young Thug also makes a short cameo in the video.

Watch the creative new music video for “Go Crazy (Remix)” above and let us know who has your favorite scene. Was it Chris Brown, Mulatto, Future, or Lil Durk?

He said this track is the perfect companion on a long drive, and now Russ is taking “Bankrupt” on the road in his latest visual. The thriving independent artist recently shared the slow-burning, melancholy single and on Wednesday (April 14), he delivered the cinematic music video. The tone of the clip matches the energy of the song as Russ seems to be trying to get as far away from his problems, or ex, as possible, but at every turn, he continues to reach out.

In other Russ news, the rapper-singer recently revealed his cannabis line with Wonderbrett. His CHOMP line is named after his rap-heavy EP he shared last year and is said to be a creative strain that will help musicians in the studio. That drop came on the heels of the news that he’s rescheduled his Shake The Snow Globe Tour for 2022. Check out the music video for Russ’s “Bankrupt” and let us know what you think.

We have Lil Nas X news that doesn’t involve Satan shoes or “MONTERO” being stripped from streaming services. BROCKHAMPTON recently released their album ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE, one of two projects that they plan on delivering this year. Their “COUNT ON ME” single has been a favorite among fans, so it’s only appropriate for them to drop off a music video that stars the likes of Lil Nas X and Dominic Fike. The visual opens with the two artists making their way into the woods before things start to take a strange turn.

In true BROCKHAMPTON fashion, everything becomes a tad trippy as the visuals begin to warp. Things get frisky between Nas X and Fike, as well, as they are seen getting close and making out in a few steamy scenes. The visual ends on a brain-melting note as NasX and Fike’s animated nude bodies intertwine. “I guess i’m a video vixen now,” Lil Nas X tweeted. Check out the music video for “COUNT ON ME” and let us know what you think.
