“Power Trip” is the first official taste of Cole’s sophomore album, and tonight the visuals surfaced. I’m happy to say, the video was not what I was expecting. Jermaine throws in a heavy storyline with a twist. Born Sinner drops June 25.

King Kendrick drops another video from his notorious good kid, m.A.A.d. city, which was arguably the best album of 2012. The contrast between Paris and his roots (“where my damn Dominos at?!”) makes for a rather artistic vibe.
Captivation at its finest.
This week we have brand new visuals from D-WHY, who if you don’t know by now, you can find out here. This track is produced by Hit-Boy and is off his debut project Don’t Flatter Yourself, which you can download for free on the sidebar. Also, watch Meek Mill and Big Sean set some whips on fire as alligators watch in their collaborative banger. Last week, The Weeknd officially announced The Trilogy, whilst giving us visuals for ”Rolling Stone.” Coldplay gets animated on their latest video, based on their Mylo Xyloto comic series.
D-WHY shows great artistic direction with his latest video. Co-directed with Jakob Owens. Watch out for his free tape, Don’t Flatter Yourself, dropping August 15.
Ricky Rozay’s most anticipated project God Forgives, I Don’t dropped today and I have a feeling sales are going to be enormous. First though, here’s a little something different from the MMG frontman. While i’m not opposed to the dark, aggressive, MMG-affliate packed videos, this is a nice change. The video jumps up and down the timeline of the three artists’ lives. From Dre’s days with Snoop Dogg (now Lion i’m told), Ross in the hood, Jay wearing grills to Monster products and Maybachs.
Directed by Dre Films
Here are a few visuals to start your week off, from Meek Mill, Purity Ring, Band of Horses & Bloc Party.
This week’s episode includes a cover of Nicki Minaj’s “Starships,” my good friend Harvey on the guitar with one of the more unique and captivating voices i’ve heard in awhile.
The completely independent New York Glitch Pop/Soul Fuzz duo is making noise on many blogs with just this one single out. Thanks to @Smitty346 for the heads up on this one.
It looks a lot like the inspiration for 2 Chainz’s most recent video came from Jay-Z’s “On To The Next One” video. Regardless, for a lacklustre storyline, the visuals are unexpectedly creative and artsy.
Chauncey Hollis goes by the name Hit-Boy, the 25-year old producer from California is sitting pretty atop the beat-making throne.
Due to the most recent video directed by Mr. Gavras for Jay-Z & Kanye West’s “No Church In The Wild,” I figured it was time for a post dedicated to his stunning visuals. The Athens-born 30 year old French director has a knack for high energy, gritty, controversial music videos. He has the ability to take a song and transform it into something formidable. The visuals and the storyline make it impossible to turn away for even a couple seconds. Warning: The videos are very intense and include violence and nudity. NSFW.
