Video: Blue Sky (Common)

You know what? Common is forever.

Somehow he always manages to present material that feels true to him as an artist but also relatable enough to the general public. Here's Common in his latest video for "Blue Sky" off of his album "The Dreamer/The Believer" dropping soon!

 

Covered: No Hands (Neon Hitch)

Here's Neon Hitch with some more goodness!

 

 Let's also discuss how her real name is Neon Hitch. Check the BBC documentary below for more on Neon's life as a child.

 

Performance: Lupe Fiasco

In case you missed it, Lupe performed his hit single, "Words I Never Said" on the BET Hip Hop Awards a few weeks ago. Catch Lupe rocking the Basquiat inspired updo with a burka clad Erykah Badu backing the chorus. EPIC!

Jhene Aiko with Sailing Souls

Jhene Aiko dropped one of the hottest mixtapes of the year in early march with "Sailing Souls". I have been incessantly listening to it since then and now she's starting to release visuals for some of the songs off of her mixtape. Check her mixtape and the newly released video for "My Mine" below.

Video Rundown

I'm really weird about posting music videos. I think unless your name is Kanye West or Beyonce you dont deserve a spot in my life... this is unless of course, your video is DOPE. With that being said, I'll offer you a round up of videos you may have missed. Dope and more.

Here's newcomer Elle Varner with the J. Cole featured track, "Only Wanna Give It To You". Loving the colors and I am very curious about the way her team intends to brand her. Cute girl.

 Now THIS video is DOPE. Check Rihanna with "We Found Love", directed by Melina.
Rihanna on WhoSay

 I'm CRAZY about the styling in the video and in LOVE with the way they're branding Cher Lloyd! (A post coming soon on the duo who styled Cher in this video.) WOOORD!

New Music: Bridget Kelly

New girl, Bridget Kelly dropped her EP with the Frank Ocean penned "Thinking About You" as the lead track. Download it below!

I just discovered this gem on my friend's fb wall and I couldn't be happier. Our friend in the video below has a very even and fluffy vocal tone and it is well served on this dope track. (Nod to Vo FTW.)

 

Episode: Awkward Black Girl

A new episode of "Awkward Black Girl" is here!!!!! Check the episode below and check the rest of the incredible mini-series by newcomer Issa Ray on her youtube channel.

 

Video: Headlines (Drake)

Drake just released the video for "Headlines" off of his upcoming album, 'Take Care". In this video Drake attempts to position himself as the head of the game or the king of the game as evident in him sitting at the head of the table and riding an elevator solo to the top. I am almost convinced that he is throwing subtle shade at reigning King, Jay Z. Check it.
