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.

Early reports are in, and many are already speculating that Benny The Butcher and Harry Fraud’s upcoming collaboration project The Plugs I Met 2  will end up lining plenty of best-of lists. Lead single “Thanksgiving” already sends a strong message, and now Benny and Fraud have come through to deliver some accompanying visuals for the track.

Off the top, it’s clear that director The Wizard is moving to tell a story, opening “Thanksgiving” with Benny’s people hearing word that the rapper had been shot. As the song kicks in, Benny returns to his formative neighborhood, surrounded by those very same loyal day-ones who continuously have his back. The camera captures a raw handheld aesthetic throughout, enhanced by shots of Benny as the plug, surrounded by goons and firearms. 

An equally welcome sight is The Butcher standing on his own two, a sign that bodes well for his recovery progress. We can only hope that Benny continues to heal, as he’ll have no shortage of new material to bring on tour once some semblance of normalcy returns to the live music industry. In the meantime, check out the new video for “Thanksgiving,” and stay tuned for Benny The Butcher and Harry Fraud to deliver their new musica, The Plugs I Met 2, this Friday, March 19th. 

Her Heaux Tales project supplied a breath of fresh air in the R&B scene, and Jazmine Sullivan continues to promote her latest effort with the official music video for “Pick Up Your Feelings.” We’ve received the acoustic version of the track where we see Sullivan belting out her single, but this time around, she dropped off some theatrics. We find Sullivan flying solo on “Pick Up Your Feelings” and in the visual, she and her band perform on a lounge stage to an audience of one: a man who seems to be the singer’s target. 

“Pick Up Your Feelings” is all about moving on after dealing with a partner who doesn’t seem to appreciate the relationship, and Jazmine Sullivan has had enough. If the video looks familiar, it’s because Sullivan donned a similar look at last year’s Soul Train Awards when she took to the stage for the ceremony. Watch Jazmine Sullivan belt out those breathtaking vocals above.

Nick Cannon doesn’t always get credit for his music career, but his recent single “Ghetto Blues” has been widely praised for its sincerity and positive message alike. Today, Cannon has come through to deliver some new visuals for the powerful track, which highlights the staggering number of homeless currently living in America — not to mention the vast number of unemployed people.

In the early moments of the video, Nick takes to the streets with a guitar in hand, attempting to capture the spirit of the downtrodden. In contrast, also plays a version of himself, completely oblivious to the plight of his fellow man. When both parties cross paths, Cannon’s message becomes clear as they exchange a profound stare. Closing out with a quote — “I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet — it’s evident that “Ghetto Blues” aims to promote empathy and understanding. 

Case in point, Nick made sure to include a means of getting in touch with the Los Angeles mission, inviting viewers to text “Ghetto Blues” to 24365. Should you be looking for music with a message, check out the visuals for yourself right now. 

It’s time for Coi Leray to rid herself of leeches and she means business. The rapper recently shared the remix to her “No More Parties” single featuring Lil Durk, and today (March 11), Leray delivered the music video. As the title of the track suggests, Coi is looking to make some changes to get herself on track and in the visual, she’s taking charge and cleaning house, literally.

The visual opens with Coi texting the “Leach” who apparently hosted a wild party at the rapper’s home. Inside, there are people sleeping in all rooms, people are playing Beer Pong, and empty red Solo cups are abundant, but Leray has had enough and calls on Lil Durk to help her get things together. For good measure, Coi also adds a sexy bathtub scene, so press play above and watch Coi Leray and Lil Durk manhandle unwelcomed guests in the visual to “No More Parties (Remix).” Make sure to catch Leray’s nod to her father, Benzino, as well.
