Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe – Kendrick Lamar (Video)

Kendrick Lamar dropped the official video for Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe (not the JayZ remix, unfortunately) and it’s making waves. A funeral-turned-party, the video turns us to a different side of Kendrick. The closing words, Death To Molly, are probably up for interpretation, so we’ll keep an ear out for the real meaning. Until then, watch Kendrick get baptized in a pool full of liquor below:

Royals (Video) – Lorde

It’s safe to say that this young New Zealand songstress is on the cusp of greatness judging by her debut EP The Love Club, & we’ve finally been graced with the first video from the project. ‘Royals’ is one of the more swanky tracks that stood out from the EP, and I must confess that I think it’s a little underwhelming for how grand the song is. Then again, I don’t expect a rising star to have the budget similar to the likes of the Can’t Hold Us video, but the simplistic visuals with two main male characters going about their seemingly boring lives and quick snippets of the beautiful Lorde motivate what our friends over at Mostly Junk Food define as “being drip-fed just how much promise this little lady has.” The end of the music video gives us a glimpse of what is apparently a video for her song ‘Tennis Courts,’ so hopefully we’ll see some new material in the near future!

Pay For You (Video) – Skizzy Mars feat. G-Eazy

The standout track ‘Pay for You’ from Skizzy Mars’ debut tape Phases finally got some visuals! Although it’s a simple montage video from the previous tour alongside G-Eazy, it encompasses the depth & somewhat mysterious nature of Skizzy as an artist and also sheds light on his rapid success as well. No word yet on any upcoming videos from the tape, but if you haven’t had the chance to listen to his remarkable mixtape, you can grab it below. Skizzy Mars will also be touring with Logic & Castro on the Welcome to Forever tour – get your tickets ASAP!

We Were Just Kids (Video) – Radical Something

They’re baaaaack! Radical Something is back in action with their first official release from their upcoming album due out this summer. The song ‘We Were Just Kids’ is the same kind of vibe that we’re used to hearing, but the video directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos strengthens & reinforces the emotions the song is conveying, creating a piece that everyone can identify with. As summer is quickly approaching & many of you are coming to a point of ending one chapter and beginning another in your lives, it’s a great way to feel nostalgic while sustaining the lighthearted and blissful spirit. Stay up to date with the guys on their Facebook and Twitter, and be sure to grab your tickets to the Summer of Love Tour!

Alive – Empire of the Sun (Video)

Empire of the Sun, oh you’ve always got something up your sleeves. The latest video for their recent track, Alive, is energetic, creative and a bit off the wall. Take a peek and keep an ear out for more Empire of the Sun in coming weeks.

Unlike Anyone – Smokey Robotic Video

A few days ago, Smokey Robotic dropped their unusually clean (for them) visuals for the new jam, “Unlike Anyone”. A refreshing surprise, the video is a bit more streamlined than some of their other trippy visualizations but surely delivers a positive new side to the group’s style and incorporates a few enticing images along the way. I’ve enjoyed their funky originality from the start, but “Unlike Anyone” is unlike anything we’ve heard before. It’s certainly one of their most commercially appealing releases to date, but retains a fiercely groovy quality that attracted me a couple years ago. Looks like these guys are making moves!

“Unlike Anyone” serves as the feel-good opener to the group’s recently-released Musium, available for stream on Soundcloud.

When We Were Young – Cris Cab (Video)

Cris Cab’s Red Road was a great mixtape, released just a couple of weeks ago. The 9-track collection of songs are all light-hearted, summertime jams that have me aching to just be done with finals. But Cris Cab continues his springtime tease, releasing this video for When We Were Young, filled with swimwear and days on the ocean. Take a look and grab Red Road if you missed it.

You and I – Crystal Fighters

Ah, these sweet people. Each track the UK’s Crystal Fighters create is simply magical – bundles of infectious rhythm that seem to bubble and burst by the beginning of every bright chord. I had their wildly fun “Champion Sound” jam on repeat all last Summer, sparking a love affair that I have since neglected. The sweet yet quite pop-leaning “You and I” holds a similar energy with less of an exotic sound and more of an acoustic style.

Oh, and there’s also that perfect little whimsical visual piece below to match. Feast your eyes and ears – the new album Rave Cave is out May 27th, which sounds like it will be a promising release.

Nasty (Video) – Logic

Logic, XXL Freshman class member and recently inducted signee to Def Jam released a new record produced by Don Cannon along with the video yesterday as a prelude to his upcoming project Welcome to Forever, dropping May 7th. ‘Nasty’ is a proclamation of success to all that doubted him, and with his recent success and future endeavors, it’s clear that Logic will be a central player in the industry. The highly anticipated project should be a promising outlook on what is to be the next chapter in Logic’s career, so I advise you to follow Logic on Facebook & Twitter to stay updated on any upcoming information on Welcome to Forever as well as his tour!

’94 – The Kings Dead
