Tobe Nwigwe – “RĖÂÅITY” (Video)
May 29, 2018
Former linebacker now banging out tracks. Hmm… usually the basketball players are the ones that wanna rap; maybe a boxer or two. Glad I came across Tobe on Facebook (bio & more info on him after the jump). This “RĖÂÅITY” jawn is pretty nice.

Alternative/R&B: SZA – “Garden” (Say It Like Dat) [Video]
May 22, 2018
Okay, so who’s up for more Alt-R&B from the sexy SZA? Well, we got the latest visuals (for “Garden”) for you right here. Apparently, that “CTRL” LP has still got some bubble in it. Sip that drink y’all. It will help with the thirst *wink*
(Plus, Donald Glover on cameo duty heavy… because why not?)

Madtones – “SETH RQGEN” feat. CQDY
May 11, 2018
Cool. Learn about the Madtones movement via their YouTube bio (clipped in after the jump)… including an invitation to you. Yes, you!
Some ill, crazy vibing can go on to this song, with or without ‘assistance’ from any Seth approved (and/or used) substances; even with him kinda in the song and such.

Gabriel Garzón-Montano – “Golden Wings”
May 4, 2018
Sounding like a subdued, acoustic Prince Rogers Nelson from a while back but reborn… Yeahhhh, that’s about as close as we can get with a description of what Gabriel Garzón-Montano is doing on this “Golden Wings” joint. But this song sounds dope. Believe it. Or play it and hear for self.
Sunni Colón – “Yours Truly, 2095â€
May 3, 2018
It builds. Nicely, slowly. Throughout the song. Gooood music by Sunni once again dunny. Chilling alone, or with a special someone, you can push play and let this tune fill up the room.
Kali Uchis – “Get Up” (Official Video)
May 1, 2018
Okay, so what this is is some kind of reprise to “Gotta Get Up” off Kali Uchis’ album “Isolation” (out now). Actually, what this is is vibe music (pause… reflect… move on), and a video of cutie Kali vibing and writhing in the most sultry way to it.
And now you really want to watch, right?

Sango – “Khlorine” feat. Smino (Video)
March 31, 2018
From Sango’s “In the Comfort Of” album… more chill music. But this has a bit of bop to it courtesy of guest lyricism by Smino. Check out “Khlorine.”

SZA – “Broken Clocks” (Video)
March 31, 2018
Besides “sexy”… the word to describe this vid is “ohhhhhhh!” It all makes sense by the end; the very end. Now, you do get the benefit of seeing SZA singing sultrily and slinking around to the beat throughout the jawn; getting her ‘summer camp sensual’ on. But the TWIST ending… Watch.

Jhené Aiko – “Never Call Me” feat. Kurupt (Slauson Hills Edition) [Video]
March 25, 2018
Hmm… turns out that that Jhene Aiko visual for “Never Call Me” was the ‘Asian Version’… Apparently, there is a hooded out ‘Slauson Hills Version.’ And don’t even front like you can wait to see it. Click the play button and quit playing!
(Watch for cameos from Nipsey Hussle and more.)

Jhené Aiko – “Never Call Me” feat. Kurupt (Video)
March 24, 2018
Visuals for this song should be as much a “Trip” as the song itself. Well played, Aiko. Take the journey and click play.

Jesse Boykins III – Earth Girls (Prod. By DJ Dahi) [Video]
February 22, 2018
What the…? Is that Rosario Dawson in there?! Okay, you can go get that “Bartholomew” album (see link below) after watching this “Earth Girls” video once. But er… we might stick around and watch again… just to confirm that that was indeed the sultry Ms. Dawson. Her presence and essence goes with the vibe of the music. Soulful. Good work and salute to Jesse Boykins III and DJ Dahi!

Torii Wolf x DJ Premier – “Silent Crow”
February 16, 2018
Acting like Torii Wolf and DJ Premier don’t make dope Alt-Hip-Hop?? Please. Don’t even TRY it! But in case someone around wants to play the ‘hater’ role, play this “Silent Crow” and let ’em know Torii & Preemo are not having it. Not today. Today… we chill.
Mereba – “Black Truck”
February 14, 2018
Okay. Respect due. Mereba checks all the relevant boxes – repping the A-T-L well, putting out the good tunes, down with the majorest of majors (i.e. Interscope) out West. Nothing left to do but check out “Black Truck” and hear what that do, too.
Sango – “Sweet Holy Honey” feat. Xavier Omär (Video)
February 7, 2018
Sango’s video for “Sweet Holy Honey” (featuring Xavier Omär) will have you thinking that the title should be subtitled with something like… “A Surreal Cinematic Experience.” Because that is what it is. Enjoy!
The Code – “Muse” / “About Ava” feat. Cassie
January 21, 2018
Looked it up again to be sure. A “Muse” is “the source of inspiration for a creative artist.” Meet UK’s creative artist The Code (if you are not yet familiar) via this latest work, featuring the VERY ‘inspirational’ Cassie. Not saying she actually IS the “Muse” for this song. But it’s great music, what or whoever inspired it! Off the forthcoming “Paramount” LP.

Dave B. – “Pearl” (EP)
November 21, 2017
Soulful, happy, funky Alt-Hop. That’s the best we can do to really categorize and capture the essence of “Pearl” in words. You need to hear it to get it. And once you hear a bit (sample stream below), you might wanna get it (linked below).
