Super Chron Flight Bros - B More f. Zesto

If you dig heavy drug imagery & HBO's The Wire, then this video is for you! Great close-ups of D being chopped & bagged draw you into the depths of "B More;" audio clips of Stringer Bell & Bubbles magnify the imagery as the Flight Bros paint a seedy picture of addiction & commerce over depressing guitar riffs & piano. About halfway through "B More" the vid & music transition to Zesto, posted up on a bike in a corner liquor store rhyming. It's some real back to the streets ish.

DaVinci - "Concrete Jungle Juice"

Halloween is a few months away, but San Frans' DaVinci ushers in black hoodie season early with the high impact video for "Concrete Jungle Juice." It's not what you do in this game but how you do it; sure the piece & chain dangling, weed cloud floating imagery is in full effect here, however, the lighting, shots and cuts give DaVinci's vid a true cinematic touch without straying from the brevity of music videos. Big props to director M. Ubungen & Sweetbreads Creative Collective.

Kelis Goes Acoustic

You can just sort of tell when an artist is really enjoying themselves and the material; it's obvious in these three segments that Kelis is having a ball performing joints from her new 'Flesh Tone' album. I don't know if all the passion behind her lyrics is an emotional product of her failed marriage with Nas, but "Brave" is DEFINITELY about Esco. Kelis even calls herself a Braveheart in the song...

"4th of July (Fireworks)"


"Acapella" is still my favorite "Flesh Tone" record, but "Fireworks" is such a universal song; lyrics about regretting a failed relationship ring true.

"22nd Century"


I like this one because the music captures the confused, chaotic mentality that's so pervasive these days.

"Diarrhea" - Khemist

Here's a post-'E.P.P.D. Mixtape' offering from Philly's own Exotic Prodigy, Khemist. Every young artist wants to be called "the ish," so Khemist wastes no time jacking Timbalands' "I Can't Stand the Rain" & locking the door behind him. Get ya Lysol ready!! It's Diarrhea!
