NIKO IS - "COCA" [prod. Thanks Joey] (Video)

It's become trendy for individuals to flex on social media about how they're living their best life. But, because socials are the flex zones, seldom are these people actually out making the most of their physical existence here on Earth.

Florida-by-way-of-Brasil artist NIKO IS does not need to flex for the double taps. Fresh off the release of UNIKO, his sophomore full-length, the best hair in the biz is truly traveling the world, doing what he loves, living his best life. And his latest visual experience for the Thanks Joey-produced "COCA" helps to capture the raw, unfiltered essence of dope that is NIKO's journey and life.

Channeling the late, great Hunter S. Thompson with some welcomed Fear and Loathing energy, NIKO and Joey find a way to capture their audio dopeness in visual form. And the result is an aesthetically enchanting music video that leaves the viewer feeling as though they were along for the ride/trip/adventure.

Vibes don't lie and "COCA" is a vibe personified, the combination of Joey's production and NIKO's delivery encompassing the listener in a comforting, warm embrace. As has become somewhat of an expectation, the musical offering of these Colours cohorts will leave your mind journeying through the cosmos while your feet are making a dance floor out of whatever surface they're planted upon.

The Narcy-directed visual catches the thematic vibe change that accompanies the sonic switch presented through Thanks Joey's instrumentation. We travel through light and darkness throughout "COCA", but it's good energy and love all the way through.

UNIKO, which was entirely produced by Thanks Joey, is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music.

Watch Now: Aaron Cohen & Eklips in Paris (Video)

While in Paris - which appears to be one of his homes away from home at this point - Aaron Cohen bumped into Eklips outside a train station. With cameras rolling, the renowned beatboxer proceeded to drop Dipset's " Oh Boy " instrumental as Cohen does what he does best, lacing the France-based musician's rendition of the track with characteristically self-confident quotables. Check out the off the cuff collaboration below and be on the lookout for Cohen's upcoming RED NEW YORK project.

Rudy - No Time

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older. It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's
