Sean P's wife must be cool with her fashion choices being put out there, lol. "Saviours ..." is a nice video editing-wise; Gods'illa contingent...are facing off screen in shots that give the piece an ill connectivity.

It's amazing how much creativity these two can fit into small spaces; nothing changes in the video shots except wardrobe and choreography, but it's still so visually engaging. Of course, dope music behind the moving pictures doesn't hurt matters. Sidebar: We @ RFM don't care if a performer is pregnant in a vid or onstage; in our eyes it has no bearing on quality, but we'd really like to know what

SkyDiver and Roddy made a mark on our radar last year via "Roasted" ('Pilot Talk'), and now we're checking for their new joint. These dudes are actually refreshing because they look like the hip hop we see in the streets daily and...they're nice. Pretty boring interview footage but the black couch stage motif is hip. And Curren$y gets props for that particular throwback. (Go Eagles!!) 'Jet Life

Awesome pick for our inaugural Chef post! My lone Rae story goes like this: after Khemist & I ripped down the YardFest stage @ Howard Homecoming '09, I saw Rae on the corner of Georgia Ave & Gresham building with some DC heads about Yahweh knows what.I had to quickly interupt just to tell Rae that 'Cuban Linx 2' was heavy on my mp3 player...especially the song, "Surgical Gloves;" he responds, '

This is well done - from the music to the editing. RFM loves & highly respects the DJ. And DC/the DMV is one of the most originally raw places on earth. Soundwave funny as hell too, so that doesn't hurt. Peep his site HERE.

We usually don't post stuff that's all over the hip hop blogs & such (peace 2 Nahright.com) but 1. We Love 50's interviews because he's insightful, funny & gully and 2. Mike TV's Scorpio ass loves the girl on girl/group sex talk.The main part we like is when 50 says lesbianism within an orgiastic context is 'a moral decision...' Good stuff.

Sal's Pizzeria by Gods'IllaOK, anything involving 'Do The Right Thing' & the bodacious Erykah Badu gets much play @ RFM! Of course, the joint still has to be a heater, and 'Sal's...' is just that.

WSHH has is poppin lately! First B More canon D King's 'Be Timid' takeover, and now Raheem sets straight all the ladies relying on 'toys' to take them...there. I must admit that in my hasty reading I thought the joint was a Raheem/B.O.B. collab, lol. I was hype! Anyhow...the vid is cool in an iRobot sort of way.

We thought he officially changed his named to 'Roc Marcy'...guess not. His voice is still one of the best in hip hop; it's one of those that just sounds good in the background when dope shit is going down; that's why "Scarecrows" is a fun watch.

Pharoahe Monch "Black Hand Side" feat. Styles P & Phonte' by duckdown I was wondering when we were gonna hear this kind of soul spittin from Styles P again. He assists one of the few true artists in hip hop, Pharoahe Monch, and the versatile Phonte with black magic. Check out the "W.A.R." commercial below then watch the "Desire" video (pops up when commerical is done). It's a RFM favorite!!

I can already hear the haters: 'Mike TV, you're such a Jay Stan!' No idolatry over here folks; I just appreciate the way the guy has authored and controlled his narrative since day one. I feel people who think that older rappers should step aside, but if they're still around they need to help outsiders understand part of the hip hop perspective by talking like Jay does here.

Shouts to YoRaps.com for this update. It's rather strange...intriguing, mysterious. Aside from the anticipation of what MC Hammer will actually say about Jay-Z being devilish, real excitement revolves around Jay's response.

The Niceguys is absolutely refreshing! "Nice Short Pt. 7" includes some of the smartest non-pretentious footage we've seen in a time when a lot of hip hop acts think they have to stress cleverness. The Niceguys' deadpan humor draws us in, and one view of vids like "Mr Perfect" (below) makes us sit down & get comfortable. Enjoy!

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

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

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

The shear randomness of sets versus what seems like well thought out blocking (that's positioning of the subjects for you non film buffs out there) gives "Outta the Window" real repeatability.

Looks like the son of Queens Bridge & the son of cultural icon Bob Marley shall continue May 18 on their "Road to Zion"; the pair attempts to stretch the parameters of their respective genres with the new "Distant Cousins" album. Judging from the above trailer, "Distant Cousins" sure seems like a venture inspired by creativity. Hopefully the quality of the tracks surpass Junior Gong & God Son's

MTV ShowsWe @ RFM love when MTV devotes airspace to pop artists' occasional artistic vents; in this case Kelis tells a boring but cute story of the time she received some beats from Dave Guetta & diddled around with lyrics & melodies to accent the music that would become her chart topping dance joint "Acapella." Eventually a cool, energetic song was done, but before that Kelis met David on Paris'

"I need the stabs up a little bit" (Jay-Z). Hip hop & hard alcohol have been going steady like Zack & Kelly for a good while now; 'NY-Z,' a short film (directed by photog Danny Clinch, starring Jay-Z) about NYC's effect on the central rapper of the last ten years, is the latest high point in the relationship. Already highly adept at following the right metaphor with the best simile, Jay-Z has now

I like how he installs brother LA The Darkman as a present narrator. Now, there's plenty of gratuitous gun totting and crack rock pot stirring in the video; sometimes these types of shots can come off cheesy and

Donwill is critically respected group Tanya Morgan's new artist. Here's a really organic feeling vid for a joint from his upcoming 'Don Cusack In High Fidelity' album. Donwill is a hip hop character mapping out his own storyboard. You can tell his music involves attention to detail. Shout out to Audible Treats; this post is in honor of SXSW & March being women's month and all, RFM makes space for

The New Grind Teaser from mrmarkshelton on Vimeo.The music in this teaser is great, LOL (I'm biased because I'm from Uptown Philly like the rapper Cassidy plus the film is about a DC skater, and I've spent the majority of the past eight years in DC @ Howard U). Editor Sean Cullen is a PROBLEM, as we like to say in Philly; his cuts are on point like DJ TouchTone. Darren Harper's story is an

Show the Nigerian/German singer/lyricist some love and lend an ear to her soundcheck via WNYC.org . Mike TV is all about imagery; when he laid eyes on the light brown Nneka, boxing gloved hands on hips, giving the camera a playfully fierce Ali-mug, he knew there was something strong and creative behind it. Feel free to harken back to our initial Nneka post for proof.Below is the cover image for

Sean Price is one of the emphatically sick rappers we have - in a hyperbolic yet literal kind of way; here are a few recently released videos from 'P!' including "Red Light Boogie" featuring a Puerto Rican dude from Amsterdam whose name I think is HeatRock (or Boogie). The red lighting used throughout the video is complimented by spliced in movie footage and Tarantino style graphics and texts. "

Whenever Ghost, AZ & Raekwon get together it's a guaranteed problem - this Green Lantern produced joint is no different. The "See The Light" post is also a cheap excuse for me to show how cool Ghost & I are, LOL. Nah, that's not true; however, I will say that Ghost is the first artist I ever interviewed (HILLTOP NEWSPAPER) & we've met on four or five different occassions. He also blessed my first

By now it's no secret that RFM & DUCK DOWN RECORDS go back like your grand daddy's recliner. General Steele (of Smif N Wessun) dropped by last spring to build about is fire solo debut 'Welcome To Bucktown;' less than 8 months later he's back with a leak from his next jawn entitled 'Amerikkka's Nightmare Pt. 2: Children of War' (in Stores Feb 23, 2010).

(2 Ray J related posts in 2 days?! LOL) Below are two cool new videos from New York bull horn DJ KAY SLAY's new 'MORE THAN JUST A DJ' album (dropping 2/9/10). Both songs feature singer RAY J aka The VH1 Pimp aka Hip Hop's John Stockton; the Cali kid's easy vocal styles assist many an E1 rap artist & give songs that extra something.

I'm sure my peers, especially the homies, can relate to some of Wale's thoughts in his new HONEYMAG.com piece about '#thatthing' (sex). Lately I myself have been more preoccupied than usual with random thoughts of physical pleasure in part because the gorgeous ladies of HOWARD UNIVERSITY, strutting across campus in those skin tight throwback fashion must-haves, bring sex to my mind often.

We @ RFM don't know how or why this particular pop song sold 610,069 for the week ending 12/27/09, but...it did, LOL. And we like the video for its' fun decadence & humor. Since Ms. Ke$ha from LA & her label RCA delivered "Tik Tok" to radio in October the song is the top radio airplay gainer in the nation (over songs by Jay-Z & Taylor Swift) according to NYDailyNews.com.

Are you ready to meet more friends of the RFM fam? I sure hope so! LA Dubb is a top engineer/producer out of Philly.
