Raz Simone - "Forever Don't Last" (Video)

Raz Simone ended 2018 with his Christmas themed "Santa Claus" but he's quickly returning to the Still Love saga for his first release of 2019.

With the new album on the way, Simone uses "Forever Don't Last" to provide listeners with another perspective of love, adding to the growing spectrum he has presented thus far with "Dancing With My Heart" and "Isn't Love". Continuing to use his personal experiences and lessons to his advantage, Raz has been able to vividly portray varying expressions of love, demonstrating the powerful capability of love to come forth in countless forms.

Love is beautiful, confusing, inspiring, motivating, painful and so much more. It has the ability to lift you up and break you down. For that reason, you have to stay mindful and be aware of the presence of love in your life - and be careful not to mistake real love for an illusion of love.

On "Forever Don't Last", Simone is utilizing the traditional concept of love between two people to capture and symbolize a wider, more all-encompsing portrayal of love. Riding through the vast openness of isolation, decked out in a tux with a wedding dress hanging out the car, Simone attacks the production with revelations about his own life. The content filling the track covers a wide range of topics, from his street life to his son and the concern and warnings from his family.

In life, you need to recognize when to let go of certain people - lovers, friends, brothers, family, business partners, etc. The "love" may remain, but their presence in your life and the sharing of energy needs to be removed. As the Jacob Hill-shot visual demonstrates, the physical relationship does not need to last forever.

Love yourself enough to cut ties with the toxic energies in your life.

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...

Grieves - "Let It Through" (Video)

In September, Grieves liberated new music for the first time since releasing his Running Wild album in 2017 and now the Rhymesayers Entertainment artist comes through with the official visual treatment for "Let It Through". The single denotes both the artistic range of Grieves and the personal growth and self-discovery the wordsmith has been experiencing over the course of his journey here in the physical. Packed with relaxed melodies and a calmly delivered labyrinth of wordplay, the sentimental "Let It Through" is presented with a composed, collected and self-aware delivery. Grieves is experiencing a state of acceptance, finding peace with what is rather than attempting to swim against the current of life. Throughout the record, one gets a sense that Grieves is learning from - and growing through - the chaos that has encapsulated and shaped his life. It's vital to recognize the importance of documenting the destruction if one desires to showcase the ...

Tobe Nwigwe - "Ode To Fat" (feat. David Michael Wyatt) [prod. LaNell Grant] (Video)

Love, of course, is not an easy road to travel. But, when the love is real and when the love is divine, all the challenges, hardships and trials prove to be worth it. Real love - true love - always prevails. As the visual descends from the Heavens, Tobe Nwigwe begins the dulcet delivery of his prose. With a stoic demeanor, he stands with his Queen, as an enchanting dance installment takes place in the field upon which they stand. Nwigwe chronicles the journey that is his soul connection with Fat while the camera pans out. With "Ode To Fat", Tobe Nwigwe reveals the blessing from God that is the pregnancy of his wife. And this, he states, is "the most genuine form of happiness [he's] felt." From there, the latest #getTWISTEDsundays release is like an angelic embrace from the parents-to-be, the words of Nwigwe containing such an incomparable purity and bliss that it's near impossible not to catch goosebumps from this release. Saturated with artistic exp...
