Vee Skeeno - "Ravaged" [prod. Red The Chef] (Video)

Go Skeeno, go Skeeno, go!

Connecticut's Vee Skeeno released the track's audio a few months back but he closed out 2017 by giving "Ravaged" the visual treatment. The Red The Chef-produced record features personal lyrics delivered in an aggressively confident, in-your-face manner, juxtaposed with a catchy, sing-song of a chorus/hook.

The Cole Eckerle-directed music video showcases Skeeno around his hood, sometimes surrounded by his peers, sometimes surrounded by a group of younger children. It also follows a younger male walking and biking through the same neighborhood.

At the end of the video - spoiler alert - Vee Skeeno and the boy walk past each other, the video closing after Skeeno turns to look back at the child, his eyes revealing a sense of reflection and possible worry in regards to his own life and environment and that of the young male. Like all of us, Vee Skeeno was at one point the same age - and perhaps in the same situation - as the child he crossed paths with.

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...
