Like Water the first track from the Peep: the aPROcalypse mixtape featuring Joey Bada$$ , Cj Fly , and Capital STEEZ (R.I.P) gets a video treatment from Jonah Schwartz . The video seems straight forward, (rappers from New York rapping in New York) but if you look at their surroundings you'll notice major damage to the city. My take is it's some time in a post-apocalyptic future New York and Pro Era is here to guide us all to the next stage. The video and song are dedicated to Capital STEEZ. Check out the video [...]

Late last year, Pro Era, the crew of teenage Brooklyn boom-bap revivalists led by Joey Bada$$, released their all-crew PEEP The aPROcalypse mixtape. Three days later, the group member Capital Steez was dead, having taken his own life at the age of 19. In the haunting new video for the PEEP The aPROcalypse track "Like Water," Steez's group pays him tribute, ascending a building in a bombed-out downtown BK to paint a mural of Steez on the rooftop. Director Jonah Schwartz imagines a post-armageddon version of the borough, CGI'ing its [...]

In this space, I usually try to write something about whatever connecting threats might run through the five videos I pick for the week. That's not happening this week. I absolutely cannot think of a single thing that these five videos have in common with one another, other than me enjoying all of them. So: I hope you enjoy them too! Because they're all below.

"I guess my record is too wreckless for the record business." Video-director, Jonah Schwartz plays off the inherent playfulness in the Freddie Gibbs & Madlib record, "Shame", to create this new music video, which also features BJ The Chicago Kid.  Gibbs stars a drug-dealer who gives his customer a little something extra each time.  Watch the clip below.

In the video for their team-up " Thuggin' ," motormouthed Indiana street-rapper Freddie Gibbs and esoteric California producer Madlib showed us a pretty hellacious vision of criminal life. The new video for " Shame ," the follow-up, has the same director in Jonah Schwartz and some of the same ominous cinema-verite tactics, but its depiction of the life is a very different one. In this one, Gibbs plays a coke dealer whose entire clientele seems to consist of cute girls. Watch it below. Read More...

Before 2012 is relegated to just a number on a dusty calendar, there's a golden guarantee that you'll see plenty of hood phooey flicks courtesy of rappers trying too hard [...]

If this week's music videos have anything in common, it's that many of them are flush with violence and disturbing visions. But my two favorite of the week didn't have any of that, even though the razor gloves and anthropomorphic horses probably could've been freakout material in other directors' hands. Instead, Perfume Genius and Nat Baldwin gave us perfectly sweet and romantic, albeit weird, visions. Check out our picks below. Read More...

Ski masks, gloves, guns and drugs Gangsta Gibbs & Masdlib are thuggin it out in their latest video offering.

Back in November, the stoner-rap production mastermind Madlib and the virtuosic Indiana tough-guy rapper Freddie Gibbs teamed up for a single called " Thuggin' ," which proved that they two had way better collaborative chemistry than you might expect. They've also got an album together coming out, but in the brand-new "Thuggin'" video, Gibbs seems bent on reminding the world that he is nobody's idea of a backpacker, no matter which producer he might be working with. In director Jonah Schwartz 's video, Gibbs plays the kind of guy who robs and murders drug dealers, pimps women, sells crack, [...]

Ski Beatz unleashes the visuals for the the first official single, "Gentleman’s Quarterly" featuring Stalley off of his upcoming album, 24 Hour Karate Presents: Twilight dropping February 14, 2012

Curren$y and his crew are known to live the high life. And when I say that, I don't just mean that they smoke blunts like most people breathe oxygen. The Jets have always been known to live large, with fancying with few of the concerns common to us everyday folk. That's why it's a shock to catch a glimpse of the human beings behind the lazy eyes in the video for "Hold On", one of the standout tracks from Pilot Talk II . While they're always puffing on something with a fine miss and the song [...]

As a rule, Curren$y and I should be the rap frenemies. I'm a Ford guy while he raps about being "bowtie 'til I die." I don't hate Chevrolets so much as I prefer Fords. Saul Goode though because at least they're both American brands. So I support the homie and PT II will be my final compact disc purchase to round out 2010. New video directed by Jonah Schwartz for Creative Control and featuring a Mousa sighting @ the :40 mark. [...]
