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.

One of the catchiest songs from Jack Harlow’s debut studio album That’s What They All Say has officially been blessed with a music video. The collaboration between the Kentucky rapper and Chris Brown, titled “Already Best Friends”, is out now in video form after being teased earlier this week.

Jack Harlow announced the music video on Wednesday, informing his fans of the premiere twenty-four hours ahead of time. The video is officially out, showing the pair of superstar recording artists taking a trip out to Mexico and detailing their experiences with a duo of women. The song breaks down a conversation between Jack and his companions, with who he’s trying to have a ménage à trois. For the video, the rapper sits in a hot tub with two gorgeous women, going through the talk with them and getting up close and personal. 

In his scenes with Chris Brown, the world-class dancer shows off his moves behind as they walk through a packed party in the jungle.

This follows a pretty outstanding year for Jack Harlow, who has had one of the strongest come-ups in the rap game.

Watch the new music video for Jack Harlow’s “Already Best Friends” with Chris Brown above.

After sharing their new single “Freaky As Me” last week, Jacquees and Mulatto return for a sultry music video to match the track’s energy. Jacquees has kept himself busy in recent months as his collaboration with Casanova, “Don’t You Wanna,” was released in February, following November’s “BACKEND” with Foogiano and Gucci Mane and September’s “Dope Dealer.” The self-professed King of R&B isn’t letting go of his title and he and Mulatto show off their kinks in the colorful visual.

Each scene shows scantily-clad women delivering their best sexy dance moves and you even see Jacquees tied up as one woman has her way with him. Mulatto takes a more dominating approach in her sexy ‘fit as she drops her familiar explicit bars. It’s unclear if this track will be featured on an upcoming project from the Georgia native or if this was a one-off to feed his fans. Check out the video for “Freaky As Me” and let us know what you think.

Together, Young Dolph and Key Glock have long been one of Memphis’ best duos, and last Friday, the two Paper Route Empire artists announced that they would be teaming up once again for a new collaborative project. With the release of the church organ-driven single “Aspen,” Dolph and Key Glock revealed that they would revisit their popular 2019 collaboration Dum and Dummer with a full-fledged sequel. While fans patiently await Dum & Dummer 2, the Memphis artists have treated them with fresh visuals for “Aspen.”

In contrast to their February music video for “Greenlight,” the “Aspen” video finds Young Dolph and Key Glock escaping Memphis and heading to Aspen, Colorado for a snowy ski lodge retreat. The video begins with Dolph layered up with winter-appropriate drip as he takes viewers through his expansive and well-lit ski resort, and by the end of the video, both Dolph and Key Glock are out on the slopes covered in snow.

At one point, however, the winter visuals quickly heat up a bit with some steamy, eye-catching NSFW scenes. While moving throughout the resort, Young Dolph makes a stop in the bathroom, where a few nude women appear entering his shower. Steam blocks any ridiculously inappropriate shots from appearing in the “Aspen” video, but the video does flash a shot of their bare buttocks, so you definitely do not want to watch this video at work.

Are you feeling Young Dolph and Key Glock’s wintery music video for “Aspen?”

The song has been the latest of her singles to create waves over on TikTok, and now Doja Cat has blessed her fans with a visual to “Streets.” If the song sounds familiar, it’s because you’ve most likely watched one of the thousands of the red-light special #SilhouetteChallenge videos that recently stormed social media. The California artist is readying the release of her sonically-eclectic album rumored for release this year, but Doja decided to revisit her 2019 Hot Pink release to give fans the visual that they begged for.

The haunting clip stars Queen Sugar and Girls Trip actor Kofi Siriboe as the cab driver who becomes entranced by Doja’s moves. She caught him slipping and spun a web made just for him, but in the end, you’ll have to decide if this was all a fantasy or reality. Fans have praised Doja and her team for this one, noting how much the Pop-Rap star has grown since her “Mooo” days.

Make sure to tune into the Grammys on Sunday, March 14 to watch Doja Cat take to the stage as one of their many performers, and while we wait to see what she’ll come up with, check out the visual to “Streets” above.

Russ has been known for his smooth self-produced tracks that have captivated audiences all around the world. Russ knows how to sell out entire stadiums and tracks like “Hard For Me” provide the content that keeps his fans coming back. Recently, the artist decided to deliver a music video for the song which fits the concept of the lyrics. The song is about a relationship in which Russ is giving it his all while the other person hardly reciprocates the feelings. In this video, this is exactly what Russ depicts.

As you can see, Russ is in a futuristic room where his significant other is trapped in a glass enclosure. Russ does everything he can to get her out of the case, and eventually, that’s exactly what he does. Eventually, however, Russ is placed in the case where his oxygen is lowering. The woman just looks at him and doesn’t try to get him out, which fits with the theme of a one-sided relationship.

All the way back in June, August Alsina came through with his project The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy which had a whopping 27 songs, including the single “Pretty” which was a lovely song that immediately grabbed people’s attention. On Thursday, Alsina decided to drop the music video for the track and the entire production was directed by the likes of Megan Gomez. As you will immediately find out, the video has an inspiring message as it shows visuals of women who have been through extremely tough times but always strive to persevere, no matter what.

This message fits the lyrics quite perfectly as Alsina sings “Lord knows, only the Lord knows, how you’ve been through so much but you keep it so cold, and you hold it all inside, you don’t let a thing go, I know that you seen it all but you still never told.” There is a lot of emotion to be felt here and overall, the artistic choices come together beautifully.
