Watch“Hip Hop Props” - Rock City (over Lupe Fiasco’s Kick Push)
—
Rock City, producers and artists under Konvict Music, create this West Indies-flavor thank you to hip hop recorded over Kick Push by Lupe Fiasco. You can skip the beginning part of the video, but I highly recommend you listen to the song. It’s diggity dope.
WatchMUSIC VIDEO: “Animal” - Miike Snow

I got really excited when I saw that this video had come out, because I’m a big Miike Snow fan. They’re a big up and coming group, and I’ve posted a few of their things in the past. This video is great, not only because it’s so creative and well-made, but also because it perfectly aligns with the message that the song...

"First Date Sex" - Mike Posner →
Mike Posner remixes Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex,” and this might be one of my new favorites of his. He really goes in on this one!
Nice work, Mikey!

Wow. Two videos in one day that just blow me away on the production side. This one’s directed by Shynola

The sky could be blue, could be grey
Without you I just slide away
The sky could be blue, I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time
WatchMUSIC VIDEO: “Ce Soir” - Monogrenade
—
Monogrenade, a group out of Montreal, releases its first official music video, directed by Christophe Collette, is unreal. You have to watch this video and imagine how it was made and how long that process must have taken. The song is very peaceful, even though I don’t understand a word it’s saying. Relax and watch this...
"Wasteland" - Rubik
Another (and different) test. Check out a clip from this song “Wasteland” by Rubik. It starts out heavy on the vocals and transitions into a beautiful and uplifting song by a European group that reminds me a bit of Sigur Ros and Bjork.

Off of The Death of Adam, here’s a new music video by 88-Keys. Ever felt like you liked someone and they only saw you as a friend? This just might be a video for you. 88-Keys goes through a boy’s high school experience, and as usual, he is a standing model for Ralph Lauren. (If you don’t know what...
WatchMUSIC VIDEO: “To Kingdom Come” - Passion Pit
—
I love how the lead singer (Michael Angelakos) has a voice that essentially could be another instrument. One problem is I realize I can’t ever really catch the lyrics of many Passion Pit songs. Love them nonetheless. New music video from the crew.

WatchMusic Video: “Put Me On” - B.o.B

The music video for B.o.B’s Reebok Classic remix. The song is an interpretation of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Bonita Applebum.”
I’m not huge on the song, to be honest, but the video is great.
WatchMUSIC VIDEO: “Heartbreaker” - MSTRKRFT ft. John Legend

Set in a run-down Los Angeles 99 cent-type store, this video is a stylish visual story about two young lovers who find a moment of transcendence amidst the decay and commerce.
This is great.
