The shoot for Young Thug’s “Wyclef Jean” music video sounds like it was a complete shit show: Cops threaten to shut down production, lawyers had to intervene, and Thugger, who showed up 10 hours late, refused to film a single scene. But rather than scrap the project, the minds at Pomp & Clout delivered an incredibly creative and hilarious masterpiece.

Drake shared a new video for his track “Sneakin’” Ft. 21 Savage. The video is super lo-fi and gritty, it’s slightly awkward, and a bit unoriginal highlighting chains, women, and a grotto. We get the struggle rap effect they were going for, and the song itself is dope, but at the end of the day we expected a little more on the visual tip from such a highly anticipated collab. Watch it below, and look out for Drizzy’s forthcoming project More Life, which is due out next month.

DJ Khaled and Nas team up for what may be the most extravagant video of the year. Clocking in at just under nine minutes the video features a vast array of tropical shirts, liquor bottles, and beautiful women in elaborate feather get ups. The beat is a crazy reinterpretation of the Fugees Fu-Gee-La, and as usual Nas brings insight, astute political observation and style. Most importantly Khaled rides a horse through the surf. Behold!
Seemingly out of the blue the RZA dropped a project with the lead singer of indie rock band, Interpol, Paul Banks. Though I was initially skeptical, I listened to the project as a whole and was delightfully impressed. The two New York artists both bring their distinctive take on city life to the table, producing something that is quite original and different from their individual works. The video is impressive, but I’d recommend listening to the album, Anything but Words, if given the chance. Enjoy.

Logic isn’t like most rappers, he doesn’t always take it too serious, but lyrically he can hang with the bast, proven again by his new video “Super Mario World,” a goofy feel good track that might be a joke but still packs a punch regardless.
