Still undecided on the song, but this video is crazy. I never knew you could ghostride a whip with such style.  Good one, Maya.

Shouts out to Juvenile.

shabazz palaces recently released this pretty transfixing video for standout (and my favorite) track “are you… can you.. were you? (felt)” from their super-lauded album black up.

If you are not into songs about weed and beer, than this one’s not for you. Everyone else, here’s a video for a catchy new song about weed and beer by young up-and-coming American rappers ScHoolboy Q and A$AP Rocky.  I particularly enjoyed the vocals that were sampled for the hook, which apparently came from this Kid Cudi cover, and the repetitious use of the words “weed” and “brew.”  I don’t, however, appreciate the glorification of drinking and driving.  If you’re ballin so hard, can’t you at least afford a taxi, dummy?

Danny Brown will fuck you up.  Here’s the second video from his Fool’s Gold debut, XXX. Download that shit for free if you haven’t already, dummy.

Seattle’s finest.

Here’s the video for the title track from Schlachthofbronx’s most recent EP.  The song definitely outshines the visuals, but it’s all love.  As far as I’m concerned, these guys are the coolest Germans in the game right now.  Das cool.

Here is the full length official video/short film for the Weeknd’s “The Knowing”, directed by Mikael Colombu, the mind behind dark and twisty videos like Cee-Lo’s “Bodies” and Bilal’s “Robots“. The journey to and cataclysm of planet “Ethio X” in the year 16311 is a cascade of imagery evoking Stargate, Ethiopian Poli sci/Cultural studies and the grotesquely beautiful art of H.R. Geiger, all in all giving me a rare case of the slightly aroused willies.  With so much provocative content to analyze – I leave further interpretation to the viewer.

As a bonus, here is a track Mr. Abel Tesfaye released last month called “Initiation”, featuring his signature R&B-for-vampires vocal stylings screwed, auto-tuned and everything in between. Peacepeace.

“(We Stay) Up All Night” is the first single off Buraka Som Sistema‘s upcoming sophmore album, Komba, which drops November 8th in the US, and it’s a massive party track if I’ve ever heard one. The video is muito sexy too. If you’re offended by ass and titties, you might wanna skip the video and go straight for the stream over at p4k.
