ROY G. BV - "Lime Green" (Video)


With the official premier having gone down earlier this month, and the soundtrack out now, Rudy and Joey Batts return with a new twist on the "G" in ROY G. BV.

After releasing two films that featured a more serious foundation, "Lime Green" follows the path set by "Pomp and Power", showcasing Batts and Rudy having what appears to be the most ridiculously fun time they could have filming the visual. Going all out Bling Kings, the ROY G. BV crew shot "Lime Green" at a local Dave & Buster's, letting their audience know what "lime green" would sound like.

Sonically, "Lime Green" is a wavy treat that belongs on your daily playlists. It'll lift your spirits and leave you feeling a little reckless, in the most sensible way. Such a delicate balance of ignorance and artistic expression on full display throughout the record.

And visually, "Lime Green" is highlighted by the pure, wholesome fun being had by the CT-based artists. It's the outrageous nature of something like this video that serves to make clear how diversely talented both these guys are - they can come together to leave a theater without a dry eye and they can put on glow-in-the-dark fangs and rain coats and mob around a public arcade. Whatever the vibe they desire, these two know how to draw emotion from their listeners.

"Lime Green" is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. Enjoy the visual experience below.

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...

Ian Matthew - "Ashtray"

Beyond creating good music, the most vital characteristic in any artist is - in my opinion - growth. And growth comes in many forms but, more often than not, the greatest growth comes from recognizing shortcomings; from falling and getting back up, learning from the highs and lows of the evolutionary process. "Ashtray" is the first joint I've heard from Ian Matthew that makes me feel like dude is truly stepping into his own artistically. And I mean that with the utmost respect. The latest drop from the CT-based artist features Ian taking a few big steps back from a stereotypical, bar-heavy hip-hop sound, instead embracing a smooth style that is highlighted by some passionate crooning. And, man, it works really  well. Backed by some light acoustic production, Ian is able to allow the emotion to emanate from his vocals, capturing the attention of the listener with his raw delivery. There are enough emcees filling records with catch-as-catch-can lyrical prowess, ma...

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 ...
