Dillon Cooper really hits the spot with this track. The first few lines threw me off, but once he gets on his rhythm, Dillon takes this track to a whole new level. He’s got meaning, flow, and style. The video is simple and elegant, the words are powerful. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to see big things from Dillon Cooper, keep an eye out.
Dylan Owen, one of the great storytellers of his rapping generation, has released his video for “In the Corner” from the recent successful K.Y.F.C. mixtape. Like the piano-driven track, this video keeps it simple with its visualizations but paints a clear picture of love and loss. Those high-pitched vocals on the chorus add a chilling factor, but we more importantly can’t ignore Owen’s incredible, perfectly-enunciated lyrical delivery that’s stolen attention since day one. Download one of the best tracks of the mixtape above, and experience the visuals below.

Today we bring you the video to one of frat rap’s latest songs. Huey Mack, Mike Stud, and Scolla come together on a track that describes the Y.O.L.O lifestyle that embodies what frat rap is all about: Getting drunk, dancing with girls, and making questionable decisions. Paired with an Erin McCarley sample, this song is an interesting fusion between light-hearted and rage-tastic, an interesting combination that takes a little getting used to. Scolla’s verse is the part of the song that I enjoyed the most, but Mike and Huey still spit their flow just as well as every other song. The video opens up with a funny bit of Huey and Mike Stud switching identities, the rest of the video including clips from a live performance, Huey Mack sleeping, Mike Stud eating a salad, and a cute wink from Huey Mack around the 3:30 mark (ladies!). Enjoy the video and download the song above!
Another brilliant visual from G-Eazy‘s chosen director, Tyler Yee – who has again created a timeless, elegant video that captures the emotional, thoughtful essence of one of G’s best tracks, “Marilyn”. The highs and lows of a relationship become hazily intertwined as they often do, but thankfully in an aesthetically appealing way. Those skyline shots are some of the best. Download the track if you missed it before, and take in another wonderful visual art from G and team.
The music video for one of Oncue’s most popular tracks from his mixtape Can't Wait has finally dropped. The video is directed by Adam Ross, the same director that gave us the video for “Feel Tall.” The video has a simple beginning, black and white shots mixed with some cool visual effects, then bursting into color for the chorus and the end of the track. At the end of the video there is a quick preview of the New Religion video as well, which just makes this video so much better. So check out the video for Rich Kid, as we now anxiously await the video for New Religion, one of my personal favorites from OnCue.
Well this is surely a surprise, but a welcome one without a doubt. Lost in the World, featuring Bon Iver, is one of my favorite songs off Kanye’s MBDTF, and despite being almost two years late, we finally have a set of official visuals. Ruth Hogben and Kanye don’t do anything too extreme with this video, but they do build the song on an emotional base of dance, mirrors, and choppy sequences. Watch below:
If you weren’t aware, this is a hip hop site. Hip hop used to be the only genre posted on the home page and the other genres had seperate pages. Plus the change is far more appealing to those genres that should have remained on their own pages and not on the home site.
